Price and load capacity compared

Drive and operation

The battery is built in. That saves weight and cost, but means a charging break when it runs flat.

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 glass and tiles.
