On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.5 stars. In some cases, the distributor is criticised for not being leak-proof. On the other hand, the compact and functional design as well as the high quality are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the simple installation and good quality of the 2-way distributor were well received by customers. However, the consumers’ criticism of the tightness of the connection of the manifold was not justified.
Prices of up to €26.98 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €9.59 . The 2-way distributor from Bächlein is therefore currently one of the cheapest with a price of €9.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
