Do any of you have one? I've heard they were great to use to clean the bobbin area. Does anyone have one? which one and what is your opinion of them.

none of them that I have ever tried had enough suction. I went to Lowe's and bought the mini attachment for a shop vac hose and use it on a regular vacuum. That and a pipe cleaner will help keep your machine in tip top shape.

i have a wonderful little attachment kit that i can use with my regular vacuum- has little brushes, wands- works great on my sewing machines and on the computer! i bought my (attachment kit) from Clotilde's--i think i've seen them in the Nancy's Notions catalog too.

Just get a small electronics or computer kit attachment for a shop vac, they work great.

Canned air to blow off the needle/foot area, pipe cleaners and q-tips to clean the bobbin/needle plate area works for me.

I have the little attachments that fit onto my regular vacuum. They work great,
