What can the real estate app do?

Here are 3 small recommendations and frequently used real estate calculators in the app:

Yield check: This is what a property brings in

One of the most popular features of the app is the yield calculator, which helps you evaluate the profitability of your real estate investments. The yield check calculator allows you to quickly and easily check whether a planned real estate investment is profitable. This way you can find out if the investment is worthwhile and if the return meets your expectations. The quick yield check is particularly useful for capital investments and helps you to make well-founded decisions.

For your smartphone

Calculate net yield: Exact return

The app also includes a net yield calculator, which you can use to calculate the net yield of your property. You can enter the gross return as well as the applicable taxes and costs (e.g. maintenance costs) to determine the net return. This way, you get a detailed analysis that helps you make informed decisions regarding your investments.

Calculate brokerage costs

If you want to know how high the brokerage costs are for buying a property, you can also use the corresponding calculator in the app. Simply enter the purchase price and the app automatically calculates the brokerage costs. This way, you always have an overview of all costs incurred and can plan your finances optimally.

8 Varieties Mio: Number 7 blows us away

We’ve tasted our way through all eight Mio Mio drink varieties and picked our test winner for the fresh summer. If you’re still looking for the right drinks for the garden or your picnic in the park, you’re in good hands with these varieties.

Coke

Everyone knows Coke: whether it’s Pepsi, Coke or River Cola from the discount store, the black carbonated drink is probably one of the best known and most popular soft drinks on the market. Mio Mio also offers an in-house cola variant. The taste of the variety convinced us, it is roughly comparable to Fritz Kola.

Coke Zero

Mio Mio has added another sugar-free drink to its range with Coke Zero. For anyone who wants to experience the taste of delicious Mio Mio Cola and still watch their sugar intake with a clear conscience.

Guarana + Pomegranate

For a refreshment in the summer, the Guarana with Pomegranate variety is definitely the right choice. The decent amount of carbonic acid makes you feel really invigorated, only a little more fruity could be the drink to our taste.

Mate + banana

We vastly underestimated this Mio Mio drink before our tasting – mate with banana is surprisingly high up in our rankings. The variety scores with good taste and just a hint of banana. Just the right amount of carbonation and perfect amount of banana.

Mate Original

Of course, you could say that the Original Mate is still the best Mate, but from the delicious 8 varieties of the Mio Mio range, it’s hard to choose a winner! One thing is for sure, the Original Mate has been the most convincing for the longest time with the right proportion of all ingredients. Refreshes and invigorates.

Mate Zero

Who can not do without the full Mate taste and still want to take zero percent sugar, is in the right place with the Mate Zero. However, the zero sugar variant does not taste exactly the same. We find the Mate Zero has a slightly weakened mate flavor.

Mate + Ginger

Refreshing, invigorating and delicious, Mate + Ginger blew us away taste-wise. Among the Mio Mio varieties, this is without question one of the strongest. The extra shot of ginger gives you the right kick for the summer and still remains true to the mate. Mate + Ginger is also best enjoyed cold.

Lapacho + Lemongrass

A pleasantly cool change is the variety Lapacho with Lemongrass. If the original mate is too strong, you can try this lemongrass lemonade. The citrus flavor gives you the right summer feeling!

Mio Mio: Our test winner

Of course, it was not easy to decide among eight delicious and different varieties of Mio Mio – but one must be declared the test winner in the end. While the Mate with Ginger convinced us taste-wise and the Mate with Banana was a really positive surprise, nothing beats the good old Original Mate. We love new, especially the fresh varieties Mio Mio, but Mate Original is and remains the best!

Why Merklinger? Meat, fish, pizza, bread – all in 1

Before we get to the details in the comparison of grill manufacturers, first the test winner, Merklinger.

Grills need to be solid, they need heat and temperature and they should be able to make the whole family happy! Models from the hardware store wobble quickly, are poorly “ventilated” (heat is missing) or the space is not enough. If you want to grill more than just sausages, you need a solid grill. When looking at premium grills in comparison, there are many good alternatives to the DIY store, for example also Napoleon, Weber, Big Green Egg or the Broil King, but at some point you have to choose!

Test winner and the Premium Grills

If we add up the experience of those involved here alone, then we have over 100 years of barbecue experience in the room. A garden grill for meat, vegetables, fish, pizza and bread in one and then also Made in Germany – Merklinger has convinced us the most and so it stands:

Our barbecue test winner for the garden: Merklinger

Just the quality of workmanship, the material and the extremely good heat development, as well as their distribution ensure that Merklinger is a nose ahead in our comparison. So if you do not want to buy a grill 0815 from the hardware store, but want to buy something good, stable for your garden and family, this premium grill is the recommendation.

Not only we say that, but also grill world champion and meat sommelier Oliver Sievers!

Grill world champion Oliver Sievers about Merklinger

The decisive impetus then brought the opinion of the barbecue world champion himself. Because, even more convincing than the opinion of our editors, is the solid test by a professional. So, in the end, the verdict of the reigning barbecue world champion and meat sommelier Oliver Sievers was also convincing.

This grill can do it all!

Merklinger: German craftsmanship that convinces

Compact, mobile and robust: With these attributes, the award-winning design from Merklinger is convincing. A special feature of the outdoor kitchens with wood fire is their quality seal and the fact that they are all produced in Germany. Thanks to a sophisticated concept, the Merklinger allows the preparation of grilled food or dough and baked goods, such as pizza, pies or pastries m pizza or wood-fired oven.

But also with us you can dive into the world of the Bavarian manufacturer and learn a lot about the compact outdoor kitchen that is fired with wood. Thanks to the compact outdoor kitchen, cooking outdoors has never been so easy. Baking, grilling, cooking, smocking, smoking and gentle braising are all possible without much effort. A special highlight is the possibility of parallel use of the options, by separating the fire chamber and baking chamber.

Effective and energy-efficient firing

The outdoor kitchen is powered by the most natural kind of fire, namely the wood fire. The burning of the wood not only releases inimitable aromas, but also gives the eye something to look at when the flames blazing devour the wood. Another plus point is the effective heat distribution and the low wood consumption.

Honest and robust craftsmanship

The extreme weather and corrosion resistance are one of the hallmarks of the brand. Only robust and high-quality materials are used, such as 6mm solid steel, solid wood legs made of larch or highly stable industrial castors, which ensure that the outdoor kitchen is ready for use in any season. The hand-welded workmanship of the materials allows for immense precision, coupled with the highest quality in every detail. In addition, all materials come from local suppliers.

Optimum air circulation despite uncomplicated handling

A big plus is the ease of use of the Merklinger. To get it going, a fire has to be lit in the combustion chamber and after just 20 to 30 minutes of heating up, the outdoor kitchen is ready for use. Due to the fancy air circulation technology, a precise temperature regulation between 70 and 400° Celsius is possible, so that almost every dish can be prepared without great stress. In order to grill and bake at the same time, the temperature can be regulated differently, so that different heat ranges are created.

Cleaning is also easy and is carried out by pyrolysis, which ensures that baking, roasting and grilling residues decay into ash at high temperatures of up to 500 °C. This can simply be removed with a cloth once the oven has cooled down, making chemical cleaning agents that attack materials superfluous. Pictures say more than 1,000 words. A happy grill world champion!

Even the barbecue world champion grills with Merklinger!

The Shop: Models, accessories and cooking courses

Depending on the preferred method of preparation, it is advisable to buy different models of the Merklinger family. The range can therefore be divided into models for grilling and baking. But also accessories such as fire plates, bread sliders, stainless steel roasters, baking sets, mobile side tables made of wood or vouchers can be purchased in the shop. Grill or baking enthusiasts can also book cooking courses directly on the manufacturer’s website.

E-scooter: Rent an electric scooter always and get started

Cars and bicycles for rent have become extremely popular in city centres. Here come the e-scooters! They are already the absolute trend in many large cities around the world. Whether it’s a quick trip to friends, from one part of town to another, or a quick business appointment just before lunch. E-scooters take us quickly from A to B over long distances.

Now with road registration and simple apps for rent and payment, they are indispensable for many. But the hype is only at the beginning. Until now, there has been no simple, uncomplicated means of transportation that does not rely on the classic combustion engine or on strenuous pedaling, or on bicycles or classic kickboards with kicks. At last – ideally – you can travel quickly and comfortably through the city centre with ecological electricity. With ranges of up to 15 miles (25 km), and a top speed of 15 mph (25 km/h), the scooters are easy for anyone to drive. Tip: If you want to drive faster, you need insurance in some countries, as well as in Germany. More about this later in the “Frequently Asked Questions and Answers”. But back to the fun and the E-Scooter.

How about the transport? Are the scooters small and handy or awkward to carry? E-scooters are small and handy, weigh between 8 and 12 kilograms and can therefore be transported quickly and easily through the stairwell. The charging time is currently between one and three hours, depending on the model and manufacturer. Many advantages, few disadvantages.

E-scooter rental: This is how it works

If you are already active in car sharing or occasionally rent a bike in the city, you already know how to handle the rental of e-scooters.

1. Registration in the app
2. Deposit paid data
3. Start rental

Registration – With these 3 simple steps, the fun can begin. First you have to download the app of the desired provider from the Google Play Store or the Apple Store. The registration is very fast, because you don’t need a driver’s license compared to a car. In addition, the control of identity cards by a human person is therefore no longer necessary. So you are registered in a few seconds and can start renting the scooter.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwj2BvxnkJk/

Find an E-Scooter – In all apps you will find a clearly arranged map of your city with all streets and districts, where you can quickly zoom in on your location and choose a scooter in your area. If you see a scooter, you can also write down the individual number and start the rental directly. Simply enter the number of the scooter into your smartphone. After the app has connected to the control panel, you can start driving within four to five seconds.

Payment – Rent and payment are relatively uncomplicated. Since the payment data is already stored in the app (registration), the payment works with two simple clicks. The rent is, as described above, quickly started and you are ready to go.

Advantages

The advantages at a glance:

Quickly foldable to wear on the go, quickly recharged with electricity instead of petrol, cheap to buy.

Disadvantages

There are also drawbacks:

Favorable for adults, relatively expensive for children. Also dangerous in case of carelessness in road traffic.

Disposal of old scooters?

Broken or new model? Disposal of the old only in the recycling centre! You’ll find one in your town, too. Disposal is free of charge for private individuals.

Technical equipment and cleanliness

The technical equipment of the scooters is very simple. As a rule, the scooters for rent offer only the essentials: the associated light for road traffic, as well as an energy and km/h indicator. Luxury and comfort, such as car rental, must be renounced. No, the rolls have no handle heating (not yet) and there is no extra storage for bags and backpacks. The material processing of the rollers is very stable at all manufacturers. A large part of the scooters is made of metal, so please ensure high stability even with bumpy cobblestone pavement. All in all, practical and quick to drive.

Price and cost of scooter rental

Since the big hype around the scooters is new and the first providers will start in a few days, there are no concrete price models yet. But if you compare the E-Scooter with the price for a car or bicycle, you will see that one hour will certainly cost between 4 and 6 Euros, half an hour between 2 and 3 Euros. Here are a few standard prices for comparison, this is how the E-Scooter price might look like:

• car rental price per minute – between 23-40 Cent; 30 minutes about 9 Euro
• Bicycle rental price per 30 minutes approx. 1 Euro
• Scooter rental price per 30 minutes estimated 2-3 Euro

Frequently asked questions and answers

Where do I find e-scooters used?

If you want to buy your first used e-scooter, then you will find the best offers on the relevant platforms such as eBay classifieds. Here you can buy used scooters at reasonable prices. It is important that the E-Scooter is bought by a private person, of course you do not have the same rights as with certified dealers. On the one hand, there is no possibility of exchange or return, provided that the goods were not damaged and this was concealed, on the other hand, there is no guarantee from the private person.

When buying used scooters and you should therefore make sure that

• You buy your scooter on a known portal,
• that you ideally buy from a dealer,
• you should take a close look at the product photos, also make sure that there are several photos and not just one,
• neglected in the description possible damage and traces of use in the “small print”,
• if the purchase date is correct and the receipt is still included, you may still have a warranty if the E-Scooter should break down, therefore pay attention to the purchase date and existing receipts or purchase receipts

Which e-scooters have won the test?

As you can see above in our e-scooter comparison, there are already several good manufacturers that bring good reviews and many recommendations with them. Our absolute test winner so far, however, was the Segway-Ninebot with its features:

The scooter offers highest safety standards and is certified according to CE / UL / SAA Approved Certification. The scooter has a compact design (currently only available in black) and is quick to fold for the subway or staircase. With gear to 15 mph (25 km/h), for example on the straight cycle path.

What does a good E-scooter cost?

If you want to buy an E-scooter yourself, you can also choose between different models. Just as in most online shops, there are inexpensive models which in turn have disadvantages in terms of processing or range. At the same time there are the premium models, which have a little more power, e.g. create a longer range or accelerate faster, but the effect is not so big that a double or triple price is justified.

Current road-legal models currently cost between 200 and 400 euros in online shops, and between 500 and 1,000 euros in the low-cost segment and for premium models. As always, there are of course no upper limits! Who e.g. looks for an E-Scooter with seat or with inserted sound system, which finds naturally also Premium and luxury models. The prices in short:

• Beneficial models for everyday use: 200 – 400 Euro
• Premium models (e.g. from German manufacturers): 500 – 1,000 Euro

The low-cost models in the 200 to 400 Euro range are sufficient for everyday use. With a range of approx. 15 to 20 km and an approved maximum speed of 20 km/h, they offer what you need to get around downtown.

Are there electric scooters with seats?

If you are looking for an e-scooter with a seat, you will of course also find it. Various manufacturers also produce scooters with integrated seats. The integrated seat is very practical for people who cannot or do not want to stand for long. The ratings from all users are so bad for all scooters with seats that we can’t recommend any of the scooters today!

Idea? How about a fold-out seat! Unfortunately we couldn’t find a model in our test that allows the stand as well as an integrated but fold-out seat. So that you can decide if you want to start the ride or if you want to sit down – that would be brilliant!

Which E-Scooter Shop is recommended?

With online shops for e-scooters and scooters you should, as with all other online shops, pay attention to certain criteria. On the one hand, the online shop should have a valid imprint with company headquarters in your own country, which guarantees you rights that you often do not have with dealers from abroad. In the event of a dispute, this saves the need for difficult legal procedures. Also the shipping is faster, another advantage and also the return is less complicated, should you not like the scooter. The second tip when it comes to online shops is that the online shop is a member of a larger association, e.g. trusted shops. Here the online shops are checked by experts to ensure that you as a customer can fully exercise all your rights. Tip number 3: Pay attention to ratings. Not only in the online shop itself, they can easily be done by the webmaster. Check out other platforms as well, like some reviews on Google or Facebook. So pay attention:

• Existing imprint with national company headquarters (uncomplicated return and warranty)
• Ideally member of renowned association like Trusted Shops
• Please note customer reviews, also on Google or Facebook

If E-scooter gets the approval 2019?

This regulation applies only to buyers in Germany – Yes, finally it is so far! While the scooters in Paris or Hong Kong are already part of the normal cityscape, scooters in Germany have not yet been an issue, as politicians were still discussing the approval of road traffic. Now in a few days it is so far and is good get the approval for 2019. That is, in a few days of it quite officially and legally E-scooter drive.

May E-scooters drive 45 km/h – Driving licence yes or no?

Yes, e-scooters are allowed 45 km/h. However, they are subject to the same road traffic regulations and, at 45 km/h, to additional regulations that are already familiar from scooters. This provides that for a vehicle with a speed of 45 km/h, with two wheels, one needs at least the driving licence for scooters or a valid driving licence (B) for the car, because with this licence, the scooter is already included in most countries.

If you want to drive an electric scooter at 45 km/h, you have to wear a helmet, take out insurance and of course have a license plate on your vehicle, just like on a scooter with a combustion engine.
