Overview

Price and load capacity compared

Among the 200 round vacuum grippers in this comparison, it ranks in the most expensive quarter. Its load capacity matches the typical value for this design (200 kg) almost exactly. That works out at 247 kg of capacity per €100 spent; the median is 347 kg.

Drive and operation

A swappable battery powers the pump. With a second battery you can keep working without interruption. Battery capacity is 2,400 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 glass and tiles.
