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

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 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 makes a very good impression at first glance. The sustainability is particularly positive, as only recyclable and renewable materials such as paper and cardboard were used for the shipping carton. The compact design of the packaging helps to minimize waste and leaves no room for superfluous packaging material. The only thing that could be dispensed with is the plastic film inside. Although it protects the product, it could be replaced with recyclable material.
The scope of delivery includes 1 balance pad, 1 thank you card with tips for use and a money-back guarantee as well as 1 exercise plan.
The contents of the packaging are complete, in perfect condition and meet expectations.

The balance pad makes a good first impression

The Balance Pad not only impresses with its colorful design, but also with its good workmanship. There are no visible processing faults. Both the transitions and the surfaces are precise and very well finished. There are 2 color variants, whereby each product is unique, as thecolor gradients are different for each product.
Unfortunately, no specific information is available on the sustainability of the product. The material of the balance pad has been reworked to achieve greater softness and therefore better training results. A money-back guarantee is also offered. These factors underline the manufacturer’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
