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 functionality of the zippers on the TRAVEL DUDE toiletries bag was impressive. The mechanism is designed to work without any damage or functional impairment. The movement was smooth and precise throughout , which is particularly advantageous when opening and closing frequently, as is common when traveling.
The hook’s load-bearing capacity is also flawless, both when filled to average and maximum capacity. There were no signs of deformation or material weakness. The integrity of the product remains completely intact, which is particularly important when used for long periods of time in a hanging position.
In addition, the stability of the seams proved to be flawless even under heavy tensile stress and maximum load. No damage, loosening, or uneven seams were found during testing. This indicates very precise workmanship and high material quality.
Furthermore, the toiletries bag proved to be very practical and useful in the capacity test, as it allows quick and easy access to the usual travel essentials. Space for particularly large or unusual items is somewhat limited, but the well-thought-out interior organization allows for clear storage of items. In terms of ease of cleaning, dirt could be completely removed without much effort. In addition, the toiletries bag dried quickly in the air, so it was ready for use again in no time.

In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the workmanship, design, and overall suitability for everyday use are very impressive. The clever interior layout, removable liquid bag, and hook for hanging proved to be particularly useful for travel. However, we also confirmed the limited capacity for larger toiletries, meaning that the model is designed more for minimalist travel needs.

Overall, the TRAVEL DUDE toiletries bag impressed us with its high functionality, durability, and ease of care.
