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 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?

The salt and pepper mills arrive in an attractively designed box. Although the product is basically self-explanatory, important product information, customer support contact details and a voucher code are printed directly on the box, which not only looks good but also saves resources. Extra protection for the glass is provided by bubble wrap. This is sensible and necessary due to the material. Overall, the packaging looks high-quality and well thought-out, which makes for a very good first impression.

Once all the grinders have been unpacked, we will take a closer look at them.
The grinders all look visually appealing and flawless .
The workmanship also appears to be of high quality and flawless, so that no defects can be found. The grinders are also surprisingly solid and therefore also make a very good impression in terms of quality, but the manufacturer is particularly impressive when it comes to sustainability. The manufacturer advertises a 100-day money-back guarantee, so that a bad purchase can be ruled out in case of doubt. It also advertises the “Climate Partner” program, which distinguishes the grinders as a climate-neutral product . This means that the grinders achieve full marks in all categories, which underlines our very good first impression.

For our practical test, we examined the grinders available to us for all relevant features – each of the products completely convinced us in almost all respects.
Visually, the manufacturer offers a variety of different colors and materials. For our test, we have various stainless steel, wood (dark beech and natural beech) and plastic grinders (concrete gray, snow white, aquamarine). The manufacturer also offers other variants, but these are not included in our test. We are pleasantly surprised by the variety. There is a suitable look for almost every taste – regardless of whether you want a timeless and elegant stainless steel look or a more rustic wooden look. The only thing that changes between the different versions is the head section of the grinder. Both the grinder and the glass container are identical.
We find the general product design modern and appealing. The product sits comfortably in the hand and is pleasant to use.
We also find the workmanship to be of high quality. At no point during our test did we have the impression that the grinder was yielding or wobbly. The only point of criticism is the lid of the product. We found this to be a little too loose on one of the grinders – a slight and bearable limitation in our opinion. Both the glass container and the grinder appear stable and robust. The functionality of the latter was also impressive in our test. The grinder is smooth-running and easy to turn, which makes it very convenient to use. The degree of grinding can be adjusted using a small screw, as shown in the picture. The grinding result is satisfactory and reliable.
Cleaning the product is also very simple and well thought out. The product is dishwasher-safe and the grinder can be disassembled into its individual parts relatively easily in case you really need to clean every nook and cranny of the grinder. The very good overall rating in this product test is therefore more than justified.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

Finally, we examine 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.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. In individual cases, there are complaints that the grinder lids sometimes come off too easily and that the grinder is too large. On the other hand, the timeless and functional design and the reliable grinder are praised. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the manufacturer has the right design for every customer. We share some of the criticism from consumers. We consider the grinder to be very easy to use.

Prices of up to €24.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €8.99 . The salt and pepper mills from Hannah’s Homebrand are therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €11.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
