Customer reviews

Awesome sensor cleaner!
My friends freaked when I told them that I was out on a 2 week cruise and had to clean my sensor on the Canon 40D I had with me!

“Send it to Canon!”, “Never clean it yourself!”…

Huh? What’s the big deal? I had unacceptable crap on the sensor, and didn’t liek the idea of the dust delete feature, as I still would have covered up pixels. And the debris was pretty bad.

Took me like 60 seconds total!

Outstanding quality, and the cleaner was perfect for my 40D’s APS-C sensor.

Bogus Exception

For that stubborn dust
I have sent the camera to get it professionally clean before, and this kit yields the same results. With this kit, I can clean it whenever I want and get quick turn-around.

Wish you didn’t need to buy this, but……
Got away with using a blower type dust remover on the sensor for several years, but finally had dirt that would not be blown away.

You read so much about the pros and cons of using a swab yourself AND pros and cons of sending your camera in to have it done in the shop, hard to decide which way to go.

Seems I had a pretty typical experience with first use and got SOME of the dirt off and left some in the corners. Didn’t want to repeat process so will live with what is left until it gets worse again.

You don’t get many swabs with this, but they say you should not clean the sensor that much in order to protect it from damage. Glad I didn’t buy a dozen swabs at around $45 until I use all 4 of these and see how I like results over time.

Pouch is okay, but would have liked to buy just 4-6 swabs with liquid for about $10.00. I have no need for the other lens wipes they give you a ten pack of. Although I hear some re-wrap the swabs with these to save money. Not suggesting that, but have heard some do it.

Had to order from Adorama so could not get it shipped with other Amazon stocked items, shipping was a bit high for such a small and light weight item. Ends up just over $25 total cost for 4 tries at a clean sensor.

My first time ordering from them, and they did ship fast and without problems

I understand it can cost around $50. to have it cleaned once in the shop and they often come back with dirt still in place.

Newer camera models are starting to use electronic sensor cleaners build in.. wise move if they work well.

Very nice kit.
I have been using the “Copperhill method” for cleaning my DSLR sensors when they capture enough dust to become a problem. That only happens once every several months of heavy use though, and I was looking for a “kit” style solution to the problem that would fit in my camera bag, and be ready when I felt the need to clean a sensor.

This little kit is a gem. It is exactly the same as the Copperhill method I have been using, but it is assembled in a nice, small zipper case that fits in a pocket on a camera bag. It gives you enough supplies to clean your sensor about 5 times.

If you want to buy bulk PEC pads, and bulk methyl alcohol, you can refill the kit over and over. For it’s price though, it’s not a bad once per year expense to just buy a new kit.

Very nice product.
