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 maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 3.8 stars. Some customers complain that it is difficult to dismantle the hoop. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the quality of the hula hoop is good and the material gives a high-quality impression. However, we also found that disassembling the hoop can be somewhat difficult, which is in line with the negative customer reviews.

Prices of up to €26 .90 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as € 9.90. The Hula Hoop from Body & Mind® is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of € 14.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
