Neem oil in the test 2023

The neem oil from WENDOWERK made a very good impression in our test.
The product is supplied in a sturdy 1 litre bottle with a high-quality 300 ml spray bottle and a 15 ml measuring cup . In addition to the atomiser and spray function, the spray bottle is characterised by good and stable workmanship. The neem oil is mixed with an emulsifier and can be used for spraying or watering immediately after mixing with water. The environmentally friendly and eco-friendly active ingredient is particularly impressive due to its ease of use in the home and garden. In addition, neem oil provides natural plant protection and natural pest control.
A product information sheet or additional instructions for use would be helpful to reduce the contents of the bottle to the essentials and thus make it easier to read.

We have looked at and tested the product in detail in a practical test. In the following, we take a closer look at the features and impressions. The product is subjected to our test procedure from the packaging, materials and quality to the range of functions and handling.
To give you a quick overview, we work with a points system. The maximum possible number of points per area is 100 points. The final overall score is calculated from the average of all tested features, taking into account the respective weightings.

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be ensured.

The neem oil from WENDOWERK was delivered in a perfectly fitting cardboard box. The box was undamaged and could be easily opened with a sharp object. The box contained the neem oil, the spray bottle and the measuring cup. The neem oil bottle and the spray bottle were undamaged, only the measuring cup had slight dents, but these did not impair its function. There was no further packaging for the individual items, but this would be useful as the measuring cup would be better protected during transport.
In terms of sustainability, it should be noted that the cardboard box is reusable and no plastic packaging was used. Overall, the neem oil from WENDOWERK makes a very good impression.

ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the pack complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The packaging contains a bottle of neem oil, a spray bottle and a measuring cup.
The product packaging of the neem oil contains information about the neem oil, the ingredients as well as dosage and application instructions in German.
An additional product information sheet would be desirable to improve readability. In addition, the information on the mixing ratio on Amazon and on the product differs. As an example of the mixing ratio, 1 litre of water is given, but as the spray bottle holds 300 ml, the user needs to convert this.
The contact details can be found on the product packaging in the form of an address and e-mail address. Amazon also states that customer service can be contacted by email.

ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the product processing. How high quality are the materials used? Is the look and feel satisfactory?

The neem oil is filled in a 1 litre bottle with an attractive design and high recognition value. In addition to the spray function, the spray bottle also has an atomiser function. The measuring cup is labelled with the units 2.5 ml, 5 ml, 10 ml and 15 ml. All items have a high-quality, sturdy finish and make a very good impression in terms of their durability. The natural, environmentally friendly and eco-friendly active ingredient of the product speaks in favour of its sustainability. The oil has a honey-like consistency and a characteristic odour. It should be emphasised that the 1-litre bottle promises a long product life due to the recommended dosage.

ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

Neem oil from WENDOWERK is an environmentally friendly and eco-friendly method of pest control and plant care for indoor and outdoor use. The application is simple and requires little time, as the neem oil can be used immediately after mixing with water.
It is recommended to spray the top and bottom of the leaves evenly once a week. If necessary, the interval can be shortened to every 48 hours. To avoid damage to the plant or ineffective application, the mixing ratio should not be exceeded and the application should not be carried out in strong sunlight or rain.
In this practical test, an ivy plant infested with spider mites was treated. As different recommendations for the mixing ratio could be found on Amazon and on the packaging, the mixing ratio of 5-10 ml to 1 litre of water was used as an example. This means that 2.5 ml of neem oil was used per 300 ml of water.
In order to obtain a meaningful result about the success of the pest control, the test was carried out over a period of 4 weeks. Spraying was carried out every 3 days. At the beginning, the plant lost some leaves due to the pest infestation. After just 2 weeks, the first successes became apparent. New, healthy leaves grew on the plant and the pest infestation was no longer present. To maintain the success, the application was changed from every 3 days to once a week.
Overall, it can be said that we liked the neem oil from WENDOWERK very much in the test and its effectiveness can be confirmed.

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 analyse consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. One criticism is that it must be used regularly and over a longer period of time to achieve lasting results and that spraying should be carried out in a well-ventilated room or outdoors due to the neem oil’s own odour. Many customers appreciate the simple application, the long-term purchase of a neem oil bottle, the natural, environmentally friendly active ingredient and the convincing effect against pests and for plant care. It is also recommended to spray the leaves of the plants on both sides. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that neem oil is a worthwhile investment and is easy and effective to use to care for plants and combat pests.

The neem oil from WENDOWERK is currently in the lower price segment with a price of €28.95. The price ratio is very good for the quality and scope of services that you receive.
