i have one and works ok. Not overly impressed with it but it’s quick. If doing multiple filter every day I think they will will maintain a clean filter but watching the promotional video none of mine were that plugged fortunately. Would not buy it again.

Because we always use the large industrial / roadworks type air compressors ( like they use for Jack hammers etc . In the foreground of the below pic ) to blow machinery down ( which we do at least daily with headers & pickers / strippers, sometimes twice daily ) the best thing I’ve seen is an attachment made from Poly pipe of say 25 - 40mm, about 300mm long, with holes drilled along & around it, with a cap on the end of it. Put that inside the filter & the massive volume of air cleans them out very well. Costs only a few $$ to make . . .
If you are doing tasks daily, for weeks or months at a time, it is worth doing it as quickly &!effectively as possible

Must not clean filters too often then. Boys over here would do the headers at least once a day.
I don't because I don't need to, what I do isn't a dusty job.
Lad came and mowed my grass yesterday, there was some dust in that (pollen) and he should be cleaning his at least daily. In situations like that it looks a good tool but @Flatlander wasn't over impressed with his.

i think its probably highly dependent on a large volume of air, more so than pressure

As above, there is no comparison.
But you do been to restrict the airflow a bit, because it is bad for them to operate open head.
