The glasses cleaner from Optik-Deluxe made a good impression in our test. The product offers excellent cleaning of glasses. The product can also be used to clean bathroom mirrors or televisions. The glasses cleaner also offers anti-static protection so that the glasses do not become statically charged. The spray bottle makes it very easy to use and can be used straight after unpacking. Nevertheless, better anti-fog protection would have been desirable.
Advantages
✅ Excellent cleaning
✅ Multiple areas of application
✅ Easy to use
Disadvantages
❌ Anti-fog protection does not work as described
The first impression
The packaging and labelling
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 ensured.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Product protection | Carton is sturdy, product well protected | 100 points |
| Sustainability Packaging | No unnecessary packaging was used | 100 points |
| Product labelling | Labelling available | 100 points |
| Miscellaneous | Not very visually appealing | 85 points |
| Total | 96 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The glasses cleaner from Optik-Deluxe arrived in a plain cardboard box. The box was undamaged and could be easily opened with a knife. The glasses cleaner bottle was unpacked in the box. Further packaging would not have been necessary, as this ensures full product protection. However, a little more thought could have been given to the scope of delivery. Enclosed instructions or information on returns would have been helpful.
On the whole, the Optik-Deluxe spectacle cleaner makes a very good impression.
After unpacking
Package contents and instructions
ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the pack complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?
| Criterion | Remark | Points achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Package contents & scope | Only the bottle | 90 points |
| Instructions for use | On bottle, not detailed | 85 points |
| Contact information | Printed on bottle | 100 points |
| Miscellaneous | Enclosure note for return missing | 70 points |
| Total | 86 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
After unpacking, all you have in your hand is the bottle of glasses cleaner. The instructions for the product are also printed on this bottle. Unfortunately, the instructions for use are not very detailed. In addition, an enclosed note with return information and instructions would have been helpful. The company’s contact information can be found on the bottle.
The first time in your hand
Product processing and appearance
ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the product processing. How high quality are the materials used? Is the look and feel satisfactory?
| Criterion | Remark | Points achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Visual appearance | Small text on the bottle | 90 points |
| Processing | No defects | 100 points |
| Sustainability of the product | Plastic bottle and plastic lid | 70 points |
| Miscellaneous | Precise injection seal | 100 points |
| Total | 90 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The cleaning bottle is very minimalist and unobtrusive. The text on it may be a little too small for older people to read. However, the quality is flawless and looks very sturdy. The clean finish and the cap make a very good impression. The spray cap is very precise so that the cleaner only lands where you want it to. Of course, it would have been desirable if the bottle and the cap were not made of plastic. Nevertheless, the glasses cleaner looks very high quality.
This is what our practical test showed
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
| Criterion | Remark | Points achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning | Removes even tough stains | 100 points |
| Anti-fog protection | Only minimally recognisable | 60 points |
| Variability | Can also be used for mirrors and screens | 100 points |
| Application | Can be used immediately after unpacking | 100 points |
| Total | 90 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
The glasses cleaner from Optik-Deluxe absolutely fulfils its purpose. Even heavy grease stains are removed from the lenses. However, the promised anti-fog protection is only minimally recognisable. As advertised, the glasses cleaner can also be used for other things, such as mirrors or screens. This works just as excellently. The glasses cleaner is very easy to use. After unpacking, you can immediately spray the glasses and wipe them with a cloth. In summary, the glasses cleaner fulfils its purpose, but the promised anti-fog protection does not work as advertised.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at 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 analyse consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Points achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Upper price segment / average performance | 75 points |
| Rating cut | 3.9 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 45 points |
| Total | 60 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 3.9 stars. One common criticism is that the anti-fog protection does not work. Many customers like the fact that cleaning is very thorough. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the cleaning was also very good in other areas of application and that the anti-fog protection was not as good.
Prices of up to €15 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €7. The glasses cleaner from Optik-Deluxe is currently in the upper price segment with a price of €13.90. For the quality and the scope of services you get, the price ratio is okay.
