After unpacking
The package contents and instructions
ℹ️ The first impression after unpacking sticks in most people's minds. Are the package contents complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product directly?

Only the shoe scraper is supplied, which has hard bristles for cleaning the soles and sides of the shoes. A container for the removed dirt would still be desirable. Three attached rubber strips are designed to prevent the product from slipping during use. There are no instructions for use for the Zenventure shoe scraper, but this is not absolutely necessary, as the use is self-explanatory. The contact information such as company name, address and email address is on the back of the packaging carton. We still had to deduct ten points in the "Customer information" category, since a telephone number for customer service would have been desirable. Particularly noteworthy is the packaging box, which can be reused, for example to temporarily store the shoe scraper.
First time in hand
Product processing and appearance
ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the product processing. How high-quality are the materials used? Are the haptics & optics satisfactory?
Criterion | Remark | Points scored* |
---|---|---|
Visual Appearance | high quality, visually appealing | 99 points |
application | very well made, rubber strips could be attached tighter | 90 points |
stability | very stable | 98 points |
sustainability of the product | Due to the very good quality, it can be assumed that the product will be durable | 96 points |
Other | Materials are water resistant | 99 points |
Total | 96 points |
*The maximum number of points is 100 points
First of all, it should be mentioned that the shoe scraper is made of high-quality wood and high-quality bristles. The materials are therefore water-resistant and withstand rain. The color combination of yellow and black bristles and the natural wooden frame is also visually very appealing. A final conclusion on the “sustainability” category can only be drawn after a long period of use. Due to the very good quality of the shoe scraper, however, it can be assumed that the product will be durable. However, it should be noted that the rubber strips sag slightly and could be attached a little tighter.
That was the result of our practical test
Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore the most weight. Here the product has to undergo a wide variety of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.
Criterion | Remark | Points scored* |
---|---|---|
robust processing | screwed wooden struts, rubber strips could be tighter | 90 points |
firm treading bristles | Bristles are firmly attached and hard | 99 points |
non-slip, safe stand | Rubber strips on the back, when cleaning just one shoe, the scraper can slip | 85 points |
suitable for inside and outside | Dirt falls on the floor, especially impractical for interiors | 60 points |
suitable for all common surfaces | tested on tiles, stone and wooden floors | 100 points |
Total | 87 points |
*The maximum number of points is 100 points
In our test, we tested the shoe scraper on tiles, stone and wooden floors both inside and outside the house. The screwed wooden struts made a very stable and high-quality impression. The tread bristles responsible for cleaning were also firmly and stably attached to our product. However, the rubber strips on the back could have been tighter. These sagged a bit in our test.
With regard to cleaning, we noticed that the shoe scraper is particularly suitable for removing coarse dirt (see image). The shoe scraper is not really suitable for removing very fine dirt. In addition, the removed dirt falls onto the floor below and must be swept away after use. A container for collecting dirt would therefore be desirable.
In our practical test, it was also noticeable that the shoe wiper can slip when used with just one foot. When operated with two feet, however, the scraper guarantees a secure footing. Accordingly, the shoe scraper is only non-slip if it is used with both feet.
Price-performance ratio
and consumer reviews
ℹ️ Finally, let's talk about how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend a purchase? We also examine consumer reviews and verify that the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
