About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

Hotlikeme
Door draught excluder

The door draught excluder from Hotlikeme impressed in the test with its reliable function and simple installation. At 104.1 cm long and 5.1 cm wide, it effectively closes door gaps of up to 2.5 cm. The strong adhesion was particularly positive: it remained securely attached even when opened and closed frequently. As well as protecting against draughts, the stopper noticeably reduced noise and helped to keep the room temperature constant – an advantage in terms of energy savings. Installation was completed in two minutes, and briefly heating the adhesive with a hairdryer further improved adhesion. The non-toxic, heat- and cold-resistant silicone is safe for children and pets. Available in black, grey, white and brown, the stopper also offers light protection.

Overall, the door draught excluder scored highly thanks to its robust workmanship, simple installation and noticeable increase in living comfort – a practical solution against draughts, noise and energy loss.

  • Reliable hold
  • Reduction in energy costs
  • Easy assembly
  • Noise reduction
  • Very airtight

Packaging and contents

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 guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The packaging impressed in the test with its solid workmanship and effective protective function. The stopper was securely packed in a sturdy cardboard box and additionally protected from transport damage with a plastic film. This packaging offered sufficient protection, but could be optimised by dispensing with the plastic film and using more environmentally friendly materials. The contents of the packaging were complete and the enclosed installation instructions were helpful, although they were only available in English. However, thanks to the illustrated instructions and a supporting instruction video, the assembly was self-explanatory and easy to carry out. Even people without manual experience can install the door draft stopper quickly.

The first impression of the door access is consistently positive. The simple, modern design blends in well with various room configurations and the colours white, black, grey and brown create a restrained yet functional effect. The matt surface of the silicone conveys a high-quality look and also ensures durability. The stopper is precisely finished, with no visible defects or flaws in the material. The strong adhesive layer on the back ensures reliable adhesion. There is no specific information on sustainability, but the silicone used is non-toxic and durable, which speaks in favour of sustainable use. Overall, the draught excluder impresses with its well thought-out design, solid workmanship and high suitability for everyday use.

Hotlikeme’s draught excluder was tested in practice for its performance and handling – with convincing results. Thanks to the strong adhesive, it could be fitted quickly and precisely without additional tools. The airtightness proved to be excellent: even in strong draughts or low temperatures, the room remained noticeably warmer, which emphasises the high effectiveness of the seal. The fit also proved to be flexible – the stopper could be easily adapted to different door sizes and cut to size if required. In terms of stability, the product also proved itself with frequent use. The stopper remained firmly in place and did not slip. The non-slip properties were particularly positive: Whether carpet, tiles or wood – the stopper stuck reliably and remained stable. The product was also impressive in terms of noise reduction. Wind and outside noises were significantly minimised, which led to a noticeable improvement in the indoor climate. In addition, there were no disturbing rattling noises or material movements even during intensive use, which emphasises the high quality of workmanship. To summarise, the door draught excluder offers an effective, stable and simple solution for reducing draughts, noise and energy losses.

*Themaximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.3 stars (as of 29/01/2025). Some people criticise the fact that the stopper does not adhere optimally and comes loose over time. On the other hand, the high quality and ease of installation are positively emphasised. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the thermal insulation was clearly noticeable after installation. The criticism of the adhesion, on the other hand, could not be substantiated.

Prices of up to €34.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €5.99 . The door draft stopper from Hotlikeme is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of just under €7.00. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
