It's been about 8 months now and I have yet to clean the system. Has anyone tried to yet and used the vacuum ports on the inside?

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Not yet. Have kept it clean externally and it’s not really a dust magnet. I should probably check that dust catcher though.

 

[GymWolf]

No, but i have to clean my pc, is a culinary brush* delicate enough to clean gpus and stuff?!

I've yet to clean my Super NES. I've never cleaned more than the outside of my consoles and the only issue I've ever had was an early RROD.

 

[ManaByte]

I usually blast it with some compressed air at the same time I'm cleaning my PC.

 

[Sw0pDiller]

Put the vacuum cleaner on the dust catchers after 4 months use. That's it

 

[LordOfChaos]

I popped off the hoods and it was still completely clean in there. Most likely you don't need to yet unless you smoke (I even have a cat, there was almost nothing at all in there). Check more like two years in.

 

[PropellerEar]

I strip my PS5 naked and tickle the belly button(dust catcher holes).

[R6Rider]

I keep mine vertical, so I might check it in a few months.

Just got one last Wednesday so I haven't. But I also never opened up my PS4 and ps3 so who knows what's in there! At least I don't have cockroaches cause I've heard some horror stories from New Yorkers

Obligatory...

..... I'll clean it out when I install the NVME. That's for sure. I can see dust in the front vents towards the top front, so.. it needs it inside probably even more.

 

[Rossco EZ]

it’s worth investing in an electric duster

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Yep, we bathe and have bonding time at least once per week

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Every 30 days I take it apart and use a Data vac.
The thing(PS5) sucks up everything.

 

[GrayDock]

Had since launch and cleaned last saturday, some dust here and there, mostly in the vents.
Once a week I clean the plates, those get a lot of dust.

 

[Magnific0giganticus]

@OP

8 months without cleaning it? Your PS5 is rotten inside.

Calm down, the roaches keep it clean.

 

[Aenima]

Nop. I usually just clean around the vents outside once a month or so. Looking to the inside of the vents still looks pretty clean. In a few years i might actually remove the plates to see how it looks.

 

[lachesis]

My place is pretty dust free, and it's sitting in a cabinet (I open up the cabinet when I do).

Actually I opened up my decade old PS3 slim to swap out my clicky fan & cmos battery - and found only very very minimum amount of dust to my surprise.

Having said so, I'm a bit more worried about my XSX, as it's sitting outside of the cabinet.
I swap it off on the top with duster all the time - but I'm more worried of dust just falling into the vent.

 

[Moses85]

My home is clean. I dont smoke, don’t have pets. No need to clean my PS5

 

[ArtemisClydeFrog]

nvm misread

 

[Mr Hyde]

I've cleaned it once. Popped the panels and blew off the dust with an air can. Very easy to do. Although I keep my apartment clean and tidy I'm making it a habit to do dust off the PS5 every 6 months.

 

[SJRB]

I just use compressed air every week or so to blow out dust and whatnot.

 

[CapnAmaricrunch]

I use the cleaning slime to get the dust out of the vents, life saver!

 

[Kagero]

Yeah actually, replaced the faceplates, and wow was it dusty inside.

 

[jroc74]

Where I am now? Nope. I got one in March of this year, I dont think it has any dust at all.

Where I used to live before Nov of last year? Whew....its dusty as hell there. I got that one launch day (pre order) and left it as a gift to family members.

Only difference are:

I have carpet now, where I was before has hard wood floors.
I dont have any pets, they have 2 cats.
Where I am now, its not near the front door, theirs is. And theirs is near the steps going upstairs.

I honestly dont know why its a night and day difference but whatever. I think their place is just dustier than mine.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Only got mine a week ago, so I dare not even breathe near it.
I lightly tickled the glossy black part with a glasses cloth near the power button.
People whining about the faceplate colour seems ridiculous to me.
Have we forgotten the glossy console debacle of last gen?
On reflection (pun intended) that probably only applies to fusspots such as myself.
That stuff marks badly if you so much as blink near it.
I'd want to replace the glossy middle part with something more matte.
I plug the charge cable in the usb port on the back, for fear of marking the area around the one on the front.
