We enjoyed working with the rotating spatula during the test. It is child’s play to use and can remove soups, chopped vegetables, dough and much more from the pot without leaving any residue. The rubber lip, which runs directly along the rim and base of the pot, offers a clear advantage. Thanks to its high quality, it is very durable and therefore also sustainable.
Price/performance ratio
and ratings from consumers
ℹ️ Finally, we look at 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? We also analyse consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.
| Criterion | Remark | Score achieved* |
|---|---|---|
| Price / performance ratio | Good quality and performance at a largely reasonable price | 70 points |
| Rating cut | 4.2 out of 5.0 on Amazon | 60 points |
| Total | 65 points |
*The maximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers have given the product an average rating of 4.2 stars. The spatula is often criticised for being rather expensive . Many customers like the fact that it is very practical to use. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the flexible rubber lip adapts very well to the edge of the pot and that the spatula is of very high quality.
Prices of €24.95 to €27.95 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €19.95. With a price of €24.95, the Littfield rotary spatula is currently in the middle price segment. The price ratio is reasonable for the quality and scope of services offered.
