Manufacturer’s product description
This product is primarily intended for the hygienic and orderly storage of returnable bottles, PET bottles, cans, empty containers, and waste glass. The empty container allows for neat organization thanks to two removableXXL carrier bags and a lid that minimizes odors.
Advantages such as easy cleaning with a damp cloth and convenient transportability make it a real kitchen recycling container.
However, we noticed one negative aspect: loose threads at the seams.
Overall, the deposit collector container offers a solid solution for the household, but could be more precise in its workmanship.
Advantages
- Hygienic storage
- Easy transport
- Efficient separation
- Sturdy material
Disadvantages
- Loose threads

At Prüfengel GmbH, we attach great importance to a thorough evaluation from the very first contact with the product. The Rebelnomading deposit bottle collection container arrived in packaging that provided optimum product protection: the product was adequately protected and suffered no damage during transport. The sustainability of the packaging was particularly impressive—unnecessary packaging waste was largely avoided, and the plastic film used served specifically to protect the deposit collector without creating unnecessary waste. This underscores an environmentally conscious approach that is highly welcome in times of growing awareness of sustainability. The package contents were complete and included all advertised components, including the twoXXL carrier bags and the lid, allowing for immediate use. The enclosed instructions for use were impressive in their simple and understandable wording, allowing even laypeople without specialist knowledge to get started quickly. Overall, the packaging conveys a professional and well-thought-out impression that meets expectations for a kitchen accessory and makes it easy to start using the deposit collector.

From the perspective of Prüfengel GmbH, the first physical contact with a product is crucial for the overall assessment. The Rebelnomading deposit bottle collection container has a simple and unobtrusive appearance, which allows it to integrate seamlessly into various kitchens and households – a design that prioritizes functionality over aesthetics. However, loose threads were visible at the seams, indicating potential for improvement in manufacturing quality. Despite these visual flaws, the workmanship showed no structural deficiencies; the empties container appears solid and reliable. Its stability is impressively high, as the basket for deposit bottles can withstand the weight of deposit bottles, cans, or PET bottles without wobbling or tearing. Overall, the deposit bottle organizer feels robust and meets the requirements of a bottle deposit container, although the visible threads detract somewhat from the premium look.

In our practical test, we put the Rebelnomading deposit bottle collection container through its paces to check whether it lives up to the manufacturer’s advertising promises. The material stability proved to be solid, although minor defects such as loose threads were noticeable – however, these do not impair the overall function of the deposit collector container. The accessibility of the compartments is exemplary: they can be opened and closed easily and without any effort, which makes everyday use as a recycling container much easier. The comfort of the handles was convincing in most scenarios, as they allow for convenient transport of filled carrier bags, ideal for trips to the supermarket. There were no problems in terms of compatibility with deposit bottles; standard bottles, cans, and PET bottles fit easily into the compartments of the collector. The base is generally stable, although slight movements occurred under the test conditions, which should be taken into account when the container is full of empties or waste glass. Overall, the manufacturer largely delivers on its promises, especially when it comes to hygienic deposit bottle storage, making the deposit collection container a recommended addition to any household.
