Test: AIR PURIFIERS
Whether you’re allergic or not, the quality of indoor air is becoming increasingly important. An air purifier can make a major difference, but the manufacturers’ measures of capacity are often hard to interpret and it’s not easy to compare different manufacturers.
LABEL CATEGORY: VERIFIED
The aim of Testfakta’s Verified Quality & Performance™ labelling is to highlight high-quality beds with good comfort characteristics. The requirements for the quality labelling are strict.
TEST: CAR ROOF BOXES
Several popular roof boxes fail Testfakta’s crash test. Skis and boots fly like projectiles, or the whole box comes off.
TEST: LIQUID DETERGENTS
Almost every brand has had to give up on removing at least one type of stain, as is shown by the results of an extensive laboratory test of liquid detergents carried out by Testfakta Research on behalf of the manufacturer Unilever.
TEST: PAINT BRUSHES
With a good brush, you get a better end result, dip the brush fewer times and avoid getting loose bristles in the paintwork. So show the results of Testfakta Research’s extensive laboratory test of brushes.
TEST: BICYCLE HELMETS
The right bicycle helmet can provide up to four times more protection against concussion, Testfakta’s tests show. A method for measuring the stresses the brain is subject to in accidents was used in the tests.
TEST: INCINERATING TOILETS
The incinerating toilets from Cinderella incinerate excrement both best and safest in Testfakta's test. Three competing toilets more or less fail on the safety side.
TEST OF CONTINENTAL BEDS
A good bed provides a consistently high level of comfort, irrespective of sleeping position or body type. This is the summarised result of Testfakta Research’s tests of continental beds, which were commissioned by retailer Sova.
TEST: AA BATTERIES
A laboratory test conducted by Testfakta Research has compared the capacity and lifespan of the most common AA batteries on the market. The test shows that the better makes have 20 to 40 per cent more capacity, depending on the application.
DISHWASHER DETERGENTS
Many dishwasher tablets clean well. But ideally glasses and cutlery should also shine when you remove them from the machine. The ability to retain shine turned out to be decisive in Testfakta's major Nordic laboratory test of different dishwasher detergents.
