General information

We have looked at and tested the product in detail in a practical test. In the following, we take a closer look at the features and impressions. The product is subjected to our test procedure from the packaging, materials and quality to the range of functions and handling.
To give you a quick overview, we work with a points system. The maximum possible number of points per area is 100 points. The final overall score is calculated from the average of all tested features, taking into account the respective weightings.

The first impression

Packaging and labeling

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 ensured.

Meat tenderizer packaging

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.

After unpacking

Package contents and instructions

ℹ️ Most people’s first impression after unpacking is immediately memorable. Are the contents of the package complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

*The maximum score is 100 points

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.

The unwrapped meat tenderizer

The meat tenderizer from Brendo makes a very good visual impression. In addition to its simple design, the meat tenderizer has no manufacturing flaws . The meat tenderizer is available in a stainless steel look and therefore fits into any household. The meat tenderizer is made of high-quality stainless steel.
Brendo is a small family business based in Germany, but the meat beaters are manufactured in China. The materials used are of a very high quality. Due to the high quality, a long service life can be expected.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

ℹ️ Our practical test is the most relevant and therefore the most important. 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

The meat tenderizer impressed us in our practical test. In terms of functionality, we found that the meat tenderizer is actually suitablefor all types of meat. 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

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we look at 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 examine consumer ratings and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

CriterionRemarkScore achieved*
Price / performance ratioGood price-performance ratio90 points
Rating cut4.9 out of 5.0 on Amazon95 points
Total93 points
Weighting: 20%
*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.
