On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the PATTLER® car marten deterrent with flashing light predominantly positively. The performance and robust design of the product are particularly emphasised. Customers appreciate the ease of use, especially the operation with AA batteries or the car battery. In our practical test, we confirmed the reliability of the LED lights and signal tones, which effectively keep martens away. On the negative side, however, the volume of the device was perceived as annoying. Despite this point of criticism, the marten repeller reliably fulfils its purpose and is often recommended.

Prices of up to €42.90 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €18.99 . The PATTLER® marten repellent car with flashing light is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €25.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
