ATHELON®
Fire bowl

The testing institute Prüfengel has tested the ATHELON® fire bowl in several categories and found positive results. The attractive design blends harmoniously into various environments, while the workmanship was rated as very high quality. The stability is particularly noteworthy, as the fire bowl remained completely stable in all simulated wind conditions and neither wobbled nor tilted. It also performed excellently in terms of heat resistance: there were no deformations or cracks and the temperature remained evenly distributed. Although cleaning is easy, minimal discolouration was noted. Another plus point is that the ATHELON® fire bowl is supplied fully assembled, which makes assembly unnecessary. The package contents are extensive, as in addition to the fire bowl, a poker, an ash tray, a firewood grate, a rain cover and extendable campfire skewers are included. The instructions for use are in German and are easy to understand. Although there is no precise information on the sustainability of the product, high-quality materials have been used, suggesting a long service life. In addition, the fire bowl worked perfectly with all tested fuels without leaving any residue or damage.

The first impression

Packaging and contents

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?

We thoroughly tested the ATHELON® fire bowl. The box proved to be sturdy and the product was adequately protected. We would particularly like to emphasise that no unnecessary packaging waste was used. The plastic film effectively protects the product components, but more environmentally friendly packaging would be desirable. The contents of the package are extensive and, in addition to the fire bowl, also include a poker, an ash tray, a firewood grate, a rain cover and extendable campfire skewers. The instructions for use are in German and are clearly explained so that nothing stands in the way of easy handling. Overall, the fire bowl from ATHELON® receives a positive rating in all areas.

The ATHELON® fire bowl impresses with its attractive design, which blends in perfectly with various outdoor areas. The workmanship is of high quality and shows no defects. The stability, which we found to be extremely robust in the test, is particularly noteworthy. Although we do not have any precise information on the sustainability of the product, attention was paid to the use of high-quality materials, which indicates a long service life. The fire bowl from ATHELON® also scores highly in these categories and therefore receives a positive rating in terms of appearance, workmanship and stability.

The ATHELON® fire bowl proved to be extremely wind-resistant in our tests. It remained completely stable in all simulated wind conditions, without any signs of wobbling, tipping or damage.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

Finally, we analyse 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.

*Themaximum score is 100 points

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, no other reviews are available, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.

Prices of up to €500 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €80 . The ATHELON® fire bowl is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of € 119.95. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
