Although many PS4 owners have warned against the use of a vacuum to clean out the PS4 vents, the user manual itself states that this is viable and safe way.

No console is immune from poor ventilation and dust buildup, especially when they are used in less than favorable conditions. Feedback has been mostly favorable, though, with owners of these consoles reporting that the newer releases are whisper quiet compared to the original.
If fan noise is a deal-breaker to you, then you should be satisfied with either a Slim or a Pro. It is unclear how the noise reduction was achieved, but the fan of the CUH version had a noise level of only 44 to 48 dB. This is a massive drop from the 50 to 55 dB of the original release of the PS4 Pro.
The original PS4 was launched in It seems a little long in the tooth, but the marginally improved PS4 Slim or PS4 Pro versions have managed to keep the console fresh.
