*The maximum score is 100 points
The Brendo meat tenderizer arrived in a typical shipping box. The box was undamaged and could be opened easily without a sharp object. The box contained the meat tenderizer and an e-book with schnitzel recipes.
In this case, the product was fully protected and the meat tenderizer was therefore in perfect condition. Overall, the meat tenderizer is very well protected against transport damage thanks to the extensive packaging. Unfortunately, this results in a lot of waste, which is why, in our opinion, the film around the meat tenderizer could have been dispensed with. Overall, the Brendo meat tenderizer makes a very good impression.

Our test included the Brendo meat tenderizer and an e-book for the various recipes.
These schnitzel recipes are very well described and can be cooked in no time at all. Unfortunately, no operating instructions are included, but this is not necessary as the operation is very intuitive.
The contact details are on the packaging, but there is no customer hotline.
Nevertheless, we consider the product dispatch to be very good.

We tested it on beef, pork and turkey and achieved excellent results in all cases. The two different beating surfaces enable perfect processing of the meat and transform it into a tender and juicy cutlet.
The meat tenderizer was also convincing when it came to cleaning. Thanks to the dishwasher-safe design, cleaning was child’s play and we were able to clean the meat tenderizer quickly and easily.
In terms of design, we can say that the meat tenderizer is high quality and robust. Made from 304L stainless steel , it offers a durable finish and noticeable quality. With a length of 27 cm and a width of 5.7 cm, it sits comfortably in the hand and is easy to use.
Another practical advantage is the hanging hook supplied, which allows the meat tenderizer to be stored within easy reach. We find it particularly practical that the meat tenderizer also comes with an e-book containing delicious schnitzel recipes.
All in all, we are very satisfied with the meat tenderizer and can recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, durable and practical tool for preparing meat.
Price/performance ratio

| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Good price-performance ratio | 90 points |

| Total | 93 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.9 stars. Unfortunately, the negative reviews did not provide any information as to why customers did not like it, as the reviews were sent without comments. Many customers like the quality, the appropriate weight and the appealing design. We were able to confirm these points in our practical test.
Prices of up to €39 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €9. The Brendo meat tenderizer is currently in the lower price segment with a price of €15.95. The price ratio is good for the quality and the range of services you get.
