Price and load capacity compared

Among the 200 round gripsters in this comparison, it ranks in the most expensive quarter. At 158 kg, its load capacity is 42 kg below the typical value for this design (200 kg). That works out at 98 kg of capacity per €100 spent; the median is 347 kg.

Drive and operation

The pump runs on a built-in battery: compact and affordable, but the tool has to pause to recharge. A digital display shows the vacuum level and battery charge.

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, large-format tiles and natural stone.
