Most mini vaccums will be fine; I have used those, please stay away from USB powered ones - the ones that come for car cleaning are more than enough.Chander, are you suggesting the normal vacuum cleaner or the mini ones sold on Amazon for equipment?
I second this option.I have a rather different opinion.
Vacuum Cleaners are ineffective for this job.
For mildly dirty PCBs n insides I recommend a 1 inch width paint brush... Preferably one with stuff nylon bristles.
A strong blower (like the one used to clean Airconditioner grills) is ideal for really dirty insides.
Contrary to gut feel, the strong blower cleans best & does not damage any wiring (that has been my practical experience)
This looks scary
Yes, but the blast is never as strong...Few Vacuum Cleaner do have the functionality for blower - you may have to put the pipe on the exhaust/outlet of the blower instead of inlet .
I usually remove the filter inside to get some more power for blowing purpose, but , still does not come close to these blower.
like in Eureka F

The one I have (Chinese, costs Rs 600) fits into its cardboard box 1 foot cube.Indian Ears, I don’t see a big blower being allowed into the house
Anything that’s small and handy that you can recommend?
