The NEUSTANLO® berry comb is supplied in a sturdy cardboard box that offers sufficient protection against damage. However, one point of criticism is the additional use of plastic film, which is not absolutely necessary for product protection and impairs the sustainability of the packaging.
The package contents are complete and include the berry comb in perfect condition. Instructions for use are not necessary as the handling of the product is self-explanatory. The careful packaging ensures safe despatch, even if the use of unnecessary plastic could be dispensed with.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.3 stars. In individual cases, there are complaints that the berry comb is less effective with smaller berries or that softer berries are crushed. The fast delivery and efficiency of use are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that picking berries with the product is very efficient. The criticism from customers is justified in that very small and soft berries are often damaged. However, these berries are then no longer edible.
Prices of up to €32.97 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as € 4.99 . The berry comb from NEUSTANLO® is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €14.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
