Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points
Assembling the artificial Christmas tree is extremely easy and only takes around 45 minutes. The only point of criticism was the numbering of the tiers, as the section with the number 3 was designated as the first part in the instructions. The PE needles are injection-molded and give the product a very realistic appearance. The look of the trunk has also been carefully designed. The top of the tree has been reinforced with a thick wire so that Christmas tree decorations can be attached here as well as on the branches. The product itself is of high quality and is expected to last for many years. The dimensions(185 cm x 120 cm) allow for harmonious integration into any home. The wooden stand ensures stability. The artificial Christmas tree is also flame-retardant and odorless.

Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Very good performance in the mid-price segment | 80 points |
| Rating cut | 4.8 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 90 points |
| Total | 85 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, customers rate the product with an average of 4.8 stars. Many praise the natural look, ease of assembly and sustainability of the tree. Only a few complain that additional branches in the lower area would hide the hinges better. In our practical test, however, we were unable to detect this defect as our tree was sufficiently tight.
Prices of over €1,000 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €30 . The artificial Christmas tree from ArtiTree® is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €229.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
