Fanttik Slim V8 APEX cordless car vacuum

V8 APEX (not V8 Mate)

Quick car clean-ups without dragging the house vacuum outside

Car interiors get skipped because getting a vacuum and extension cord out is a hassle. A charged handheld kept nearby makes a quick tidy of crumbs, sand and pet hair easier to fit in.

It's a handheld: you do the vacuuming. Deep cleaning carpets and seats is a different job.

It's for dry debris only — never liquids or wet spills. If you wash the filter, let it dry completely before putting it back.
