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.

ArtiTree
Artificial Christmas tree

The artificial Christmas tree from Artitree® creates a magical atmosphere during Christmas. Its dense branches and injection-molded PE needles create a unique ambience. The product is sustainable and durable, does not lose needles and retains its fresh appearance year after year. In addition to stress-free assembly, the simple structure also allows for individual design. Safety is guaranteed as it is made of flame-retardant materials and is firmly anchored in its wooden stand. With a height of 185 cm, it blends harmoniously into any home. After the holidays, it can be stowed away in the storage bag to save space .

Advantages

✅ Realistic appearance
✅ sustainable
✅ Simple construction
✅ Safe and stable
✅ Storage bag included

Disadvantages

❌ Numbering is misleading

The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ 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 maximum score is 100 points

The artificial Christmas tree is carefully packaged. The sturdy cardboard box offers sufficient protection during transportation. The packaging is sustainable, as unnecessary packaging waste has been avoided and plastic has not been used. The product packaging contains the three parts of the artificial Christmas tree, a wooden stand and a storage bag. An illustrated instruction manual in German is also included, which also contains a video tutorial via a QR code. To get you in the mood for the Christmas season, the packaging plays “We wish you a Merry Christmas” after opening.

Unboxing

The artificial Christmas tree is characterized by an appealing, timeless design. Its needles are made of PE and the stand is made of fsc-certified wood. The workmanship is very good and there are no visible defects such as bends, breaks or unclean transitions. The material used appears stable and makes a robust impression. The manufacturer has also thought about sustainability: the product is characterized by longevity due to the high-quality materials. There is also a 30-day money-back guarantee.

This is what our practical test showed

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.

CriterionRemarkScore achieved*
Price / performance ratioVery good performance in the mid-price segment80 points
Rating cut4.8 out of 5.0 on Amazon90 points
Total85 points
Weighting: 15%
*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.
