On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.3 stars. In individual cases, consumers criticise the fact that the spiral can rust and is perceived as expensive. However, the ease of use and effectiveness in cleaning blocked pipes are emphasised as positive. A practical test confirmed that the ease of use and the efficiency of the spiral’s results met with a positive response from customers. Consumer criticism of the price and the risk of rust of the pipe cleaning spiral is only partially justified.
Prices of up to €69.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very cheap products are available from as little as €5.59 . The pipe cleaning spiral 7 from Meisterfaktur is therefore currently in the upper price segment with a price of €54.99. However, the price-performance ratio is still good for the quality and performance received.
