Price and load capacity compared

Among the 265 oval vacuum lifters in this comparison, it is priced below the median of €71. At 300 kg, its load capacity is 40 kg above the typical value for this design (260 kg). That works out at 500 kg of capacity per €100 spent; the median is 341 kg.

Drive and operation

The battery is built in. That saves weight and cost, but means a charging break when it runs flat. Battery capacity is 4,000 mAh. A digital display shows the vacuum level and battery charge. If the vacuum drops, the tool automatically pumps back up.

Seal and applications

The sealing lip is rubber. On smooth surfaces such as glass, polished tiles and stone it seals very tightly and lasts a long time; on rough or textured surfaces it is at a disadvantage. According to the data sheet it is suitable for tiles, glass and natural stone.
