Price and load capacity compared

Among the 51 narrow vacuum lifters in this comparison, it ranks in the cheapest quarter. Its load capacity matches the typical value for this design (100 kg) almost exactly. That works out at 270 kg of capacity per €100 spent; the median is 148 kg.

Drive and operation

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