The packaging made a stable and well thought-out impression during the test. The shipping carton was made of recyclable material and was designed to save space in order to avoid unnecessary waste. The container itself was securely folded and packed in a shock-resistant manner, effectively preventing damage during transport. As additional protection, the collection container was supplied in a thin plastic sleeve – functional, but a more environmentally friendly solution could be sought here. Instructions for use were not included, which was found to be completely sufficient due to the intuitive handling of the product.

In practical testing, the Dimono bottle collector proved to be extremely user-friendly and stable. Assembly was quick and uncomplicated: The container was easy to unfold and set up. Thanks to the reinforced base, it remained stable even when fully loaded and did not tip over, which was particularly positive in the test. With a volume of 70 litres, the bottle collector offers enough space for deposit bottles, cans, used glass or smaller household items such as toys or laundry. Thanks to its compact design, the container can be stored in a corner, in a cupboard or behind a piece of furniture to save space . This makes it particularly suitable for households with limited storage space. The padded handles make it easy to transport even when heavily loaded. The handles distribute the weight evenly and thus increase carrying comfort. Cleaning is also easy: the water-repellent material held dirt well in the test and could be quickly wiped off with a damp cloth. Even after repeated use, the collector showed no signs of wear, which speaks in favour of the good quality of the material. Overall, the bottle collector offers a functional solution for recycling and household organisation. Its simple handling and ease of care make it a useful companion for every household.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.
Prices of up to €54.90 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €9.95 . The bottle collector from Dimono® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €14.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
