Test result preview
The furniture lifter with transport castors proves to be an inexpensive yet high-quality tool that should be indispensable, especially when moving or relocating furniture. It is very easy to use and is easy to understand with the help of the operating instructions. The support during lifting and transport is very stable. The lifting effect is very strong and impressive for the size of the furniture lifter. However, it is noticeable that the castors are somewhat inflexible and need to be operated with sensitivity.
Advantages
- Easy to use
- Extremely stable hold
- Strong lifting effect
Disadvantages
- Inflexible castors

The workmanship of the furniture lifter, the castors supplied and the 9-piece attachment is high quality and sturdy. The tip of the furniture lifter is made of black steel and is very stable, as is the ergonomically shaped handle. The raisers have individual latches so that they remain stable even under load. The castors have a fully swivelling surface that is perfectly finished. No manufacturing defects or production residues were found.

In the practical test, the lifting technology of the furniture lifter was first tested on various objects with different weights. The very good lifting effect was already achieved with minimal effort, without having to work with your own body weight. Even objects weighing well over 70 kg were lifted effortlessly and there were no signs of instability under the test load that would suggest a risk of injury. Thanks to the ergonomically shaped handle, the furniture lifter can be held effortlessly even under load. The lifting surface is comparatively small. However, the force is distributed evenly, so that neither damage to the object nor severe deformation was detected in the practical test.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 3.9 stars. In some cases, the castors are criticised for being too inflexible . On the other hand, the stable and functional design and the high lifting capacity are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the sturdy and functional design of the furniture lifter is well received by customers. Consumer criticism of the inflexibility of the castors was partly justified.
Prices of up to €44.90 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €23.90 . The furniture lifter from Kinzo® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €24.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
