We have taken a closer look at the above-mentioned product and subjected it to a practical test. Below, we provide detailed insights and impressions resulting from this evaluation. From the packaging to the materials and quality, as well as the range of functions and handling, this product is put through our THO testing procedure. For a quick overview, we use a point system. The maximum achievable score per category is 100 points. The overall rating is calculated at the end as the average of all tested features, considering their respective weighting.
First impression of the packaging
In the first step of our THO testing process, the packaging is examined. Does it provide adequate protection for the product? Are the necessary manufacturer contact details and a service hotline printed on it?

The cleaners arrived in a larger package. Since none of the products are made of glass, a simple cardboard box without additional protection is sufficient and also environmentally friendly, which we want to note as a positive aspect.
