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.

The Mole distributor from GRUNDIG offers comprehensive product protection thanks to its compact packaging . The cardboard is recyclable and contributes to sustainability. Unfortunately, the box was additionally protected with a plastic film, which would not have been necessary. The mole repellers themselves are shrink-wrapped for protection. This serves to protect the product, but is unfortunately not recyclable.
The packaging contains two solar mole repellers and operating instructions in German and 6 other languages. It would be desirable if more detailed installation modalities were noted in the instructions. These can only be found on the Amazon page.
Overall, the mole repeller offers an environmentally friendly and effective solution for controlling moles, voles or meerkats outdoors.

The mole repeller from GRUNDIG is a high-quality solution for repelling moles, made from robust ABS material. Thanks to its IP56 certification, it is waterproof and highly resistant to corrosion compared to conventional metal sleeve solutions. The product is powered by an efficient solar panel that charges and feeds a high-quality 1.2 Volt Ni-MH battery with 160 mAh. This combination ensures a reliable power supply and enables sustainable use of the mole repeller. Due to its high quality and reusability, it can be assumed that the product has a long service life and is therefore a long-term solution for mole control. The combination of durable materials, efficient energy supply and reliable performance makes the mole repeller from GRUNDIG a reliable and effective option for protection against moles in the garden or on the property.

Our practical test of the GRUNDIG mole repeller demonstrated the performance and versatility of this product. Starting with the installation, which proved to be very easy even for inexperienced users, we found that setting up the distributor is child’s play. If the floor is hard, you only need to pre-drill a hole to be able to place the product without any problems.
The sound frequency of around 400 Hz proved to be very effective as it is emitted at regular intervals. This intensity is high enough to be perceived by the human ear. Despite the controversial effects of ultrasound devices, many users have positive experiences with these devices. Particularly impressive is the fact that the mole repeller successfully repels both moles and voles , which underlines its versatility.
The product’s weather resistance is certified to IP56 thanks to its sturdy ABS design, which means that it is particularly waterproof and corrosion-resistant. This guarantees the customer long-term enjoyment of the effective mole repellent.
In addition, the mole repeller’s environmental compatibility is particularly high, as no chemicals are used and the device is charged via a solar panel , making the use of batteries superfluous.
The robustness of the product is also commendable, although care should be taken not to handle the ground spike improperly in order to avoid damaging the solar panel. Nevertheless, the robustness of the product is in keeping with its purpose and ensures reliable use.
Due to the short time available, we are unable to make any statements about a long-term test.
Overall, the GRUNDIG mole repeller impressed us in our test with its ease of use, impressive sound frequency, weather resistance and simple operation

On the Amazon platform, the GRUNDIG mole repeller receives an average of 3.5 stars. Customers particularly praise the effectiveness of the product, especially with regard to the volume and the long-lasting battery. On the negative side, it is occasionally mentioned that the animals could get used to the sounds. In our test, we were able to confirm that the repeller performs well, but placement and regular relocation should be taken into account to optimize effectiveness.

Prices of up to €24.98 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €5 . The mole distributor from GRUNDIG is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €11.50/unit. The price-performance ratio is reasonable for the quality and performance received.
