Price and load capacity compared

Drive and operation

A swappable battery powers the pump. With a second battery you can keep working without interruption. LEDs signal whether the vacuum is holding.

The seal is made of foam. It adapts to grooves, textures and slight unevenness, but wears faster than rubber and should be available as a spare part.
