Features

All 6 electric models have a digital display. No model is listed with a removable battery, and in 5 the battery is built in. 3 offers mention charging via USB-C. Foam dominates the seals with 4 models, 2 use rubber, and the M200 has a silicone suction cup. 1 model offers a vibration function.

Who are these lifters for?

The X3 is aimed at tile setters and DIYers who prefer a compact vacuum lifter, often called a gripster in the trade, with USB-C charging. The foam seal adapts well to lightly textured surfaces. If you also want to vibrate tiles into place, choose the variant with vibration. The guide Vibrating tiles into place with the vibration function has more on this. With a rated load capacity of 140 kg, the units suit common tile formats, while large, heavy slabs should be moved with two gripsters and two people. The M200 is a battery-free alternative for occasional use.
