| Criterion | BLACK+DECKER dustbuster AdvancedClean+ 20V | Fanttik Slim V8 Apex |
|---|---|---|
| Scores | ||
| Overall | 3.9/5 | 4.0/5 |
| Spec strength | 4.0 35 AW is the only air-watt figure published here apart from Fanttik's 45 AW, and the 750 mL bin is 6x the Fanttik/Bissell 0.1 L cups; runtime is short at 10 min. | 4.5 45 AW / 19 kPa beats the B+D's 35 AW, and 40 min Eco runtime is 4x the B+D's 10 min; the 120 mL cup is tiny next to 750 mL. |
| Build quality | 4.0 Household-grade build with a washable filter and 2-year limited warranty; at 3.5 lb it is the heaviest unit in the group. | 4.0 Brushless 80,000 RPM motor and HEPA filter with a spare in the box; Fanttik publishes no noise figure or drop rating. |
| Fit & compatibility | 3.5 Bulky 15.9 in body is awkward under seats and it charges only from a wall outlet — no 12 V or USB-C. | 4.5 USB-C charging means it tops up from the car's own port — no wall dock like the Shark or B+D — and the blower doubles as a duster. |
| Warranty & support | 4.5 2-year limited warranty — double the 1 year on Shark, Bissell and Fanttik. | 3.0 12 months, vs 2 years on B+D; US support through fanttik.com. |
| Value | 3.5 $99.99 list sits with the Fanttik ($109.99) and below Shark ($129.99); you get bin size and power, not portability. | 4.0 $109.99 list buys the highest published suction here, but it is $10 above the B+D and more than double the Bissell. |
