Packaging
The fan heater from MetaSun arrived for our test in the typical shipping box. This was undamaged on arrival, but had to be opened using a tool (scissors, knife, etc.) . In the product box, the fan heater was wrapped in plastic foil. This packaging method optimally protects the product from external influences. Product protection was therefore fully guaranteed and the fan heater was delivered in perfect condition .
The packaging is partially recyclable. In contrast, the plastic film cannot be recycled. Notwithstanding this, the presentation of the product makes a very good impression.
