On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. One negative aspect is the use of plastic film for the packaging.

Prices of up to €52.66 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €14.25 . The roller shutter belt from BELLUX is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €26.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
