Let’s be honest—cleaning your car isn’t exactly anyone’s favorite weekend activity. But if you’re anything like us, you’ve probably looked at those crumbs in the cupholders or pet hair in the backseat and thought, “I really need to vacuum this… eventually.” That’s where the Fanttik Slim V8 Apex Car Vacuum comes in—and when talking with a friend about this product, I really only had one thing to say about it: “That thing is f****** rad.”.
We got our hands on one recently, and after a few weeks of putting it through the wringer (aka kids in the backseat, road snacks, and a shedding Golden Retriever), here’s what we really think.
💨 Small Body, Big Power
The first thing that surprised us? This vacuum is tiny. Like, bottle-of-water tiny. It weighs just 1.1 lbs, making it incredibly easy to grab with one hand and get to work. But don’t let the size fool you—this little guy has a brushless motor that hits 80,000 RPM and delivers up to 19,000Pa of suction. That’s more than enough to lift dust, crumbs, pet hair, and the random bits of gravel your shoes drag in.
It comes with two suction modes: Eco Mode, which lasts up to 40 minutes, and Max Mode, which gives you 13 minutes of high-powered cleaning. We found ourselves using Eco Mode for quick blasts on high-traffic areas like floor mats and cup holders, and Max Mode when we needed a deeper clean.
🧰 Not Just a Vacuum—It’s a 4-in-1 Tool
What really makes the Fanttik V8 Apex stand out is the versatility. This isn’t just a vacuum—it’s a vacuum, blower, inflator, and pump all in one. We used the blower to clear dust from the AC vents and even tried inflating a small inflatable cushion. It worked surprisingly well.
The box comes packed with 10 accessories including:
- A crevice nozzle for those tight seat gaps,
- A flexible hose for reaching under the seats,
- A push-in brush for stubborn dust on textured surfaces,
- And even pet and multi-surface brushes—which worked great on the dog hair stuck to our cloth seats. As much as we love our doggies, they really do leave a hair trail of where they have been.
Everything fits neatly into the included storage bag, so you don’t end up with a pile of accessories rolling around your trunk.
⚡ Convenient Charging, Fast Results
Another feature we appreciated? The USB-C charging. No more hunting for a special adapter—just plug it into your car charger, laptop, or even a portable battery. A full charge takes around 2.5 hours, which isn’t bad at all considering the battery life and power output.
And when it’s time to empty the dustbin, there’s no awkward shaking or hands-in-the-dirt situations. The one-touch lid pops open with a button press, and the HEPA filter traps 95.99% of particles (or so the science people say)—so you’re not just moving dust around, you’re actually removing it.
🌟 Final Thoughts: Compact but Mighty
Here’s the bottom line: The Fanttik Slim V8 Apex isn’t meant to replace your full-size shop vac—but it’s not trying to. This is a detail-oriented, everyday vacuum that’s perfect for keeping your car tidy in between full cleans. It’s light, fast, incredibly easy to use, and genuinely fun to clean with (yes, we said it—fun).
We wouldn’t recommend it for cleaning your whole house or a seriously trashed vehicle interior, but for everyday upkeep, it’s a no-brainer. Toss it in your glove box or trunk and you’ll never look at your car’s dusty dashboard the same way again.
