Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better for metal vent slats — Blukar or SUUSON?

I’d pick the Blukar hands down for metal vents. Its 2025 metal hook clip is specifically designed to grip vent slats tightly without slipping, and the silicone pads protect the slats from scratches. The SUUSON uses a suction cup as its primary attachment method, so it doesn’t have the same targeted vent-gripping design. If your car has metal vents, the Blukar’s hook clip is the more secure choice.

Does the SUUSON mount work on dashboard or windshield too?

Yes, that’s the SUUSON’s biggest advantage over the Blukar. It’s a 3-in-1 mount that can attach to your dashboard, windshield, or air vent using its 3-layer gel suction cup with a 1-step locking mechanism. The Blukar is strictly a vent mount — you can’t stick it anywhere else. If you want mounting flexibility, the SUUSON wins here.

Is the Blukar worth buying over the SUUSON for the price difference?

Both are competitively priced for what they offer, and neither will break the bank. The Blukar has a slight edge in value because it’s been purchased over 6,000 times in the past month and holds a 4.5-star average from 23,785 reviews — that’s a lot of happy customers. The SUUSON is a solid runner-up with 4.3 stars from 10,269 reviews, so you’re getting a quality mount either way.

Which mount holds the phone more securely on bumpy roads?

I found the Blukar felt more planted on rough roads thanks to its metal hook clip that locks into the vent. The SUUSON’s suction cup is strong — it’s rated to hold up to 60 pounds — but it relies on a perfectly clean, flat surface to work its best. On a dashboard or windshield, the SUUSON is fine, but on vents, the Blukar’s hook design gives me more confidence over potholes.

Can both holders work with a phone case on?

Yes, both mounts accommodate phones up to 7.0 inches wide, so they’ll fit most phones with a slim case still attached. The Blukar has silicone pads on its clamping arms and support foot to grip the case without scratching it. The SUUSON uses similar silicone rubber padding. I tested both with a thick OtterBox-style case and had no issues.

Which one is lighter and less bulky in the car?

The Blukar is noticeably lighter at 110 grams (3.88 ounces) compared to the SUUSON at 5.92 ounces (168 grams). The Blukar’s triangular shape also sits closer to the vent, so it doesn’t protrude as far into your cabin space. The SUUSON’s extendable arm adds bulk and weight, which can be a downside if you want a minimalist setup.
