This battery-powered (4 x AA batteries) vacuum, made in Taiwan, comes with an extension hose, crevice nozzle, and brush and can reach a speed of up to 25,000 RPM. The dust collection slot has a filter that is easy to disassemble for cleaning. We recommend using alkaline batteries for stronger and longer-lasting suction, providing approximately 2 hours of operation. However, be cautious about potential overheating issues during continuous use.
Our S-Plus insect aspirators/pooters (BA7000, BA7001, BA7002, and BA7003) can be converted into mechanical aspirators for easy operation and hygiene by replacing their silicone tubing with this palm-sized vacuum. The included blow-out adaptor can be used to blow out insects collected in the collection chambers into another enclosure.
The following table outlines the necessary insect aspirators for constructing mechanical aspirators with various pick-up straw diameters.
