Price and load capacity compared

Among the 265 oval gripsters in this comparison, it ranks in the cheapest quarter. At 200 kg, its load capacity is 60 kg below the typical value for this design (260 kg). That works out at 571 kg of capacity per €100 spent; the median is 341 kg.

Drive and operation

Power comes from a removable battery. When it runs flat, you simply insert a charged one and keep working without a charging break. Battery capacity is 3,000 mAh, and 2 batteries are included.

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, tiles, metal and furniture.
