Critical Area Vacuum for Electronics
The Metrovac HAWA ED-500-ESD is a compact, corded vacuum designed for critical-area cleaning of computers and sensitive electronic assemblies. Its electro-static discharge safe construction prevents static damage during maintenance. The unit weighs 2.7 lb and measures 7 1/2 in high by 6 3/4 in long by 4 in wide. It operates on a standard 120V supply drawing 4 A.
Installation and Common Issues
Plug the 12 ft cord into a grounded 120V outlet and attach the 1 1/4 in hose to begin dry pickup. The single-stage motor delivers 70 cfm airflow at 80 dB sound level. The bagless steel tank requires regular emptying to maintain suction. Users must ensure the ESD grounding path remains intact; a damaged cord or missing ground pin compromises safety.
70 cfm Airflow Decides Suitability
The 70 cfm airflow rating determines whether this vacuum can handle your specific debris volume and particle size. The 500 W motor provides 3/4 hp peak horsepower for consistent dry pickup. Buyers needing higher airflow for heavy dust loads or larger workspaces should verify this figure meets their requirements. The standard filtration type suits general electronic dust but not hazardous particulates.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the vacuum is performing at its rated 70 cfm airflow after setup?
Listen for the 80 dB operating sound and feel strong, steady suction at the 1 1/4 in hose; the 3/4 hp motor should maintain consistent pull without fluctuation.
What accessories come in the box and what must I purchase separately?
The unit includes the steel tank body, 12 ft power cord, and integrated hose; no collection bags are needed because it is bagless, but additional filters or specialised nozzles are sold separately.
Which version should I choose for ESD-safe electronics cleaning versus general use?
The HAWA ED-500-ESD model is the only version listed and is specifically rated for electro-static discharge safety, making it the correct choice for critical-area electronics work.
