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?

Product processing and appearance

ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the workmanship of the products. How high quality are the materials used? Are the look and feel satisfactory?

Remove the laser sword from the packaging

The laser sword impresses with its good looks and acceptable workmanship. However, the transitions from the handle to the blade could be a little smoother. There are two places where the transitions are somewhat angular. However, the overall stability of the sword is satisfactory. It is made of 100 % plastic.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points

After the practical test with the laser sword from Goods+Gadgets®, we found the following.
The light effects and the sound of the sword are not entirely convincing. In particular, the flickering of the sword instead of a constant glow is very irritating. The sound quality is not good, it sounds very tinny and mechanical.
The vibration function of the sword, on the other hand, is very good as it conveys an authentic feeling of laser power transmission.
The weight and balance of the saber was found to be comfortable, especially when used with both hands. This contributes to the fact that the sword fits well in the hand and conveys a realistic fighting feeling.
The handle of the sword is generally comfortable, but could be a little unwieldy for younger players due to its thickness, which could make optimal handling difficult.
The lighting effects and sound of the sword cannot be customized, but this contributes to ease of use as no complex settings are required.
The lack of additional functions may appear to be a disadvantage at first glance. However, this simplicity makes the saber easier to use and allows the user to concentrate on the basic experience.
Our practical test has shown that the laser sword from Goods+Gadgets® fulfills some of the manufacturer’s advertising promises to a certain extent. At the same time, however, there is room for improvement, particularly in the lighting effects, sound and customization options. The evaluation of these aspects – lighting effects, sound, vibration and handling – varies depending on the individual preferences and requirements of potential users.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ 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.

CriterionRemarkScore achieved*
Price / performance ratioAppropriate80 points
Rating cut3.9 out of 5.0 on Amazon45 points

Weighting: 15%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 3.9 stars. They appreciate the solid workmanship and the ability to recreate movie scenes. Some customers criticized the lighting effects and sound quality. Our test confirmed that the laser sword is convincing in many respects, while there is room for improvement in other aspects.

Prices of up to €129.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €12.49. The laser sword from GOODS+GADGETS® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €17.90. The price-performance ratio is reasonable for the quality and performance received.
