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.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the fascia roll from Body & Mind® with an average of 4.4 stars. Positive customer reviews emphasize the price-performance ratio and the high quality of the roller. However, some customers criticized the firmness of the roller and the slight indentation of the nubs. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the roller has many positive effects, but that individual preferences regarding firmness should also be taken into account.

Prices of up to €60 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products . Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €13. The fascia roll from Body & Mind® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €21.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is good.
