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.

Juskys
Pipe cleaning pump

The pipe cleaning pump from Juskys proved to be a versatile and effective tool for clearing blockages in the kitchen, bathroom and toilet. With a capacity of 1.2 litres and a powerful pressure mechanism , it was able to clear even stubborn blockages quickly. The robust plastic construction means that a long service life can be expected even with regular use. The pump proved to be easy to use in the test. The mechanical operation made the use of chemicals superfluous, which protected both the environment and the pipework. The pump proved to be a reliable and environmentally friendly alternative to chemical cleaning agents. The attachments included in the set proved to be flexible for different drains and enabled versatile use. The gloves supplied supported hygienic use. The ergonomically adjustable handle contributed to comfortable handling even during prolonged use. A certain amount of force was required, especially for stubborn blockages. However, this was compensated for by the efficiency of the pump, which cleared the blockage quickly in most cases.

Overall, the pipe cleaning pump impresses with its powerful performance, versatility and durable design, making it a highly recommended household helper.

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 packaging of the pump makes a robust and well thought-out impression. The shipping carton was made of recyclable material and was compactly designed to avoid unnecessary waste. The contents consisted of the pipe cleaning pump itself, three different attachments and a pair of gloves. The enclosed QR code, which takes the user directly to detailed operating instructions, is particularly practical. These are in several languages and include clear pictures , which makes handling and using the pump even easier. One small point of criticism remains the use of plastic film inside the packaging – a more environmentally friendly alternative would be desirable here.

The pipe cleaning pump makes a positive first impression. The modern, functional design in yellow looks professional and inviting. The ergonomically shaped handle is adjustable and offers a secure grip with its non-slip surface. The workmanship is high quality and meticulous throughout. All parts fit together perfectly and there are no visible defects. The stability of the pump is also impressive: the robust plastic can easily withstand intensive use and the powerful pressure mechanism works smoothly. A sustainable plus point is the absence of chemical cleaning agents, as the pump only works mechanically. However, the manufacturer does not provide any specific information on sustainability. However, the use of high-quality materials suggests a long service life.

The Juskys pipe cleaning pump impressed in the practical test with its effective sealing and outstanding cleaning performance. The piston remained stable even under pressure, so that no air loss occurred and a constant cleaning performance was guaranteed. After repeated use, the pump proved to be very durable: it remained functional and showed no visible signs of wear. The ergonomically shaped handle sits comfortably in the hand and is easy to use. The non-slip surface ensures a secure grip even during intensive use, which is a particular advantage in wet conditions. However, the application can be strenuous in the long term with stubborn blockages, so a certain amount of stamina is required. Compatibility with different pipe diameters was very well fulfilled by the attachments supplied. Whether sink, shower or toilet – the pump worked without any problems in the various drains. Cleaning and maintaining the pump is also straightforward, as the smooth plastic material is easy to wipe clean and requires no special care.

Overall, the Juskys drain cleaning pump offers a successful combination of stability, user-friendliness and versatility, making it a recommended solution for blocked drains in the home.

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.

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.

Prices of up to €203.95 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €13.99 . The pipe cleaning pump from Juskys is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €49.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
