*The maximum score is 100 points
We enjoyed testing the ROBBX hammock . We were able to attach the straps to two trees with the hammock in between without any problems and without outside help. A helping hand can speed up the process. Thanks to the integrated loops on the straps, the length can be adjusted flexibly . However, the fastening objects should be closer together and thinner (double wrapping) or slightly further apart. The hammock is made of hard-wearing nylon, which can support a weight of up to 300 kg or two people. Our tested 150 kg load capacity was maintained without any complaints. It should be mentioned that the space for two people is a little tight. At 970 g , the hammock is ultra-light and can be stowed away in the integrated storage bag to save space. The compact roll-up takes a little practice the first time. In addition to numerous benefits such as the double zipper, valuables bag, aluminum poles and net hooks, the mosquito net should be mentioned in particular, which offers reliable protection on warm summer evenings. Overall, the hammock is a quality product that meets the needs of the user.
Customers can currently choose from the colors olive, grey, red, black and green.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
---|---|---|
Price / performance ratio | Good | 85 points |
Rating cut | 4.6 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 80 points |
Total | 83 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.6 stars. Some complain that the hammock does not offer the specified space for two people and is too uncomfortable for a relaxing afternoon nap in the garden. On the other hand, other reviewers are impressed by the comfort offered, praise the stability and recommend the product without reservation. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the hammock is of high quality and offers sufficient stability . It was quick to set up, but it was important to pay attention to the distance between the trees. However, we can agree with the critical reviews that the space for two people is only suitable to a limited extent.
Prices of up to €92 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products, on the other hand, are available from as little as €18. This puts the ROBBX hammock in the middle price segment with a current price of €41.99. Consequently, the price ratio is good for the quality and scope of services you get.
