Price and load capacity compared

Among the 200 round gripsters in this comparison, it is priced below the median of €60. Its load capacity matches the typical value for this design (200 kg) almost exactly. That works out at 333 kg of capacity per €100 spent; the median is 347 kg.

Drive and operation

The battery is built in. That saves weight and cost, but means a charging break when it runs flat. LEDs signal whether the vacuum is holding.

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.
