About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

Quest
PVC soft skirting board

The PVC soft skirting board from Quest is a useful PVC material for installation in both damp and dry rooms. Installation is simple and can be carried out by gluing or screwing, as with any other PVC material. Despite its high flexibility, the product is very stable and therefore easy to work with. It is sold by the metre, so the required length can be ordered. The tested product had a length of 4 metres and arrived undamaged. The function of the product is guaranteed. It may be necessary for two people to assemble it, but this is criticism on a high level.

  • Simple assembly
  • Self-explanatory function
  • Stable and yet flexible
  • Installation may require two people

The first impression

Packaging and contents

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 guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The PVC soft skirting board is supplied in a sturdy cardboard box. This provides adequate protection against falling or the effects of force. The material arrived undamaged and neatly packaged, so that the function was guaranteed. Instructions for use for the product are not required due to self-assembly. The product is supplied without film packaging.

The workmanship of the product is very good. The product showed no damage or dents when opened and unrolled. The product is very flexible yet stable and can be used in dry and damp rooms without any problems. No information is provided on the sustainability of the product, but a long service life can be assumed due to the high material quality.

This is what our practical test showed

Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?

Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

In the practical test, the dimensions of the product were checked first. It was found that the product is approx. 4 metres long. The flexibility and pliability of the product is very good, but this does not affect its usability. No chemical or foreign odour could be detected. Colour fastness was also fully guaranteed in a water test lasting several hours. Cleaning was easy with both water and standard household cleaning agents.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

Finally, we analyse 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?

Price / performance ratio

Very good performance in the lower price segment

Points

Weighting: 15%
*Themaximum score is 100 points

At the time of testing, the product had not been listed on Amazon for long enough. Therefore, the existing reviews do not sufficiently reflect the advantages and disadvantages of the product, so this point is neglected in the evaluation.

Prices of up to €39.99 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €13.00 . The PVC soft skirting board from Quest® is therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €16.80. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is good.
