Price and capacity
USAIsrael
Ten gripsters from US brands meet nine models from the Israeli brand GRABO. Both origins are priced above the database average but follow different concepts: on one side a mix of hand-pump and cordless units, on the other a purely cordless range with oval suction plates.
Prices
The median price is €122 for US brands and €266 for GRABO. The averages are €133 versus €286. US models cost €31 to €258, GRABO models €72 to €500. The most expensive US listing is therefore below the GRABO median.
Load capacity and features
US models carry a median of 120 kg within a range of 57 to 150 kg. At GRABO, only the Grabo H states a load capacity, 170 kg. Per €100 of purchase price, the figures are 148 kg for US brands and 75 kg for GRABO.
All GRABO models are electric, compared with 60% among US brands. Among electric units, GRABO more often has a removable battery (67% versus 33%) and an automatic re-pump (67% versus 50%). Only US brands offer USB-C, on a third of their electric units. A digital display is found on 56% of GRABO and 30% of US models. In shape, the US brands' 80% round suction pads contrast with 100% oval ones at GRABO. Foam seals appear only at GRABO, on a third of the models.
Manufacturing
Four of the ten US listings name the USA as the country of manufacture, and three name China. All nine GRABO listings state China as the country of manufacture.
Verdict
US brands are cheaper by median, offer more load capacity per euro and, alone of the two sides, hand-pump models and manufacturing in the home country. GRABO scores on automatic re-pump, removable battery and foam seal. If you are looking for a gripster for rough surfaces, you will find advice under Rubber vs. foam. More on both sides: USA and Israel.
