Price and load capacity compared

Drive and operation

The pump runs on a built-in battery: compact and affordable, but the tool has to pause to recharge.

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 and glass.
