Points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. In some cases, the price and the lack of accessories are criticised. On the other hand, the high effective power, robustness and good size are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the cooling effect and easy handling of the shade net were well received by customers. However, consumer criticism of the price of the net was not justified.
Prices of up to €250 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as € 77.99 . The Schattenentz from Rosi’s Barf-Glück is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of € 99.00. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
