On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.3 stars. In individual cases, there are complaints that the berry comb is less effective with smaller berries or that softer berries are crushed. The fast delivery and efficiency of use are emphasised positively. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that picking berries with the product is very efficient. The criticism from customers is justified in that very small and soft berries are often damaged. However, these berries are then no longer edible.
Prices of up to €21.83 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €9.99 . The berry picker from NEUSTANLO is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €16.90. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
