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 Body & Mind® Balance Board was well packaged and adapted to the product size. The product arrived without scratches or soiling, so product protection was guaranteed. Unfortunately, plastic film was used for the packaging , which should be viewed critically from a sustainability perspective. The contents of the packaging consisted of the balance board and an e-book. There was no instruction manual, but the intuitive operation of the board is simple.

Using the Body & Mind® Balance Board proved to be intuitive and also suitable for beginners. The design of the board was found to be appealing. The non-slip surfaceensures a secure footing, but can make cleaning difficult due to its roughness. We recommend cleaning with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The board is available in two versions: plastic and wood.

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.

*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the balance board from Body & Mind® with an average of 4.3 stars. Positive customer reviews emphasize the high quality of the board and the appealing design. However, some customers found the slippery and rough surface unpleasant and criticized the difficulty of training for inexperienced users or people with restricted mobility.

Prices of up to €50 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €20 . The Body & Mind® balance board is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €22.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
