In any case, they recommend buying a special "anti-static vacuum". This feels a bit like a scam, as I doubt the special vacuum cleaner itself is any different from a regular vacuum cleaner. Only the nozzle is different.

Bottom line? Keep using your regular vacuum around your PC, TV and hifi. They simply don't care what nozzle you've got on it.

The thing with static shocks is that you very briefly get a very high amount of current. Older components didn't really care about this too much, because they were chunky and they could ride out the sudden surge. But as components got smaller, they got more vulnerable. (Think of the difference in thickness between mains wiring and fuse wire.) We also started using CMOS which is inherently more vulnerable.

It's not only the nozzle. The whole housing is made out of ESD materials, which are electrically conductive and have antistatic properties.

Highly unlikely, as long as the board is unpowered. This is probably an extension of the "blown gate" phenomenon, where sensitive MOSFET gates can literally be blown apart by a static spark. But this is on a microscopic scale, and certainly doesn't cause any noticeable explosion. If there are any claims of components blowing apart (from static electricity typical for a vacuum cleaner), these are likely fake or omitting the fact that the device was powered on. The damage is permanent and irreversible, though, whether catastrophic failure or invisible.

Compressed air (clean and dry) is also relatively safe. I recommend blowing the dust off using compressed air (outside) as opposed to vacuuming. The aerosol cans are convenient for this, but an air compressor is usually more effective. If it must be done inside, blow the dust and use the vacuum nearby to get most of the airborne particulates; careful not to get too close with the vacuum cleaner. For extra protection you could wear an anti-static wrist strap and connect this to whatever ground the board(s) are connected to.

Note, this is assuming the device is off and unplugged while cleaning. Never attempt cleaning on anything powered, even from batteries.

ESD vacuum cleaners aren't a scam. Static discharge from a regular vacuum cleaner can definitively damage sensitive electronics.

This is very much a "yes, but..." situation. Could you be eaten by a shark? Yes, but probably not in a lake in Kansas. :) You are absolutely right to think that this is a scam, and here's why.

Manufacturers recognized this, and started putting protection on component inputs, but that's really a last-ditch effort. The electronics industry started taking ESD (electrostatic discharge) seriously, and yields dramatically improved. If you're working on electronics assembly, you absolutely will want an anti-static vacuum nozzle.

any expert out there can confirm or deny if simply changing the plastic nozzle for a rubber nozzle is enough to make a regular vacuum cleaner "anti-statical"

Well, what kind of rubber? If this rubber is conductive and is effectively grounded somehow (external grounding wire?), then the nozzle is probably safe... until you touch the body of the vacuum cleaner, or the hose, transferring charge to yourself, then touch a sensitive component, and poof - device doesn't work anymore.

Could electronic devices exist which can't deal with it? Sure (although you'd almost have to intentionally try to make it so). But then they're faulty by design, and by definition if they can't deal with it then they're a PoS which you should return and get a refund on if you can. And practically speaking, this means you bought some cheap rubbish from a dodgy Far East company via an equally dodgy seller. No reputable electronics manufacturer would ever sell anything that can't deal with something as basic as this.

I heard that vacuum cleaners are dangerous to use near electronic components because they build up static, and apparently, even modern components are so extremely vulnerable to static that merely sucking a bit of dust off them with a vacuum cleaner for 5 seconds can cause them to violently explode. Or so the Internet tells me.

Electronic devices are designed to live in the real world with us. That means they must be designed to withstand any reasonable static shock which they could receive. That design can be overloaded by a severe event like a lightning strike, sure, but nearby vacuum cleaners aren't even close to doing it.

But this is just a guess. I wanted to know if any expert out there can confirm or deny if simply changing the plastic nozzle for a rubber nozzle is enough to make a regular vacuum cleaner "anti-statical". If not, then what else makes such a vacuum cleaner?

That said, more electronic components recently are including ESD protection built-in. If the board you happen to be cleaning contains all ESD-safe components (and design) then it would likely be just fine using a regular vacuum cleaner. Still, there is a risk of damage (ESD protection can only do so much), so it's not 100% safe.

In addition to Seir's answer, the triboelectric effect comes into play when dealing with a moving vacuum-cleaner attachment and brush. Both of these can cause triboelectric-induced static fields to be created, potentially zapping sensitive components.

The bottom line is, if you want 100% guarantee of no static-electric damage, then a purpose-built anti-static vacuum cleaner is the only way to go.
