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.

*The maximum score is 100 points

On the manufacturer’s website, the Susara bath mixer from Bächlein receives an average of 4.6 stars in customer reviews. One point of criticism is that some customers criticise the volume of the water jet. However, many consumers appreciate the reliable function of the single-lever mixer tap, which enables silky-smooth opening and closing thanks to the built-in ceramic cartridge. The innovative aerator is also praised for its aerated spray quality and optimised limescale protection. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that installation is straightforward thanks to the installation set supplied. The quality of the materials and the accuracy of fit of the components were particularly good.

Prices of up to €150 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products of this quality and scope of delivery. Very affordable products are available from as little as €72. With a price of € 74.95, the Susara bath mixer is therefore currently in the lower price segment. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
