good reviews came from people that haven't made a claim and the bad reviews from people that attempted to make a claim, can you explain?

I have made a claim after having a couch for one month it was damaged they told me was normal wear and tear and would not replace the product!! Don't waste your money on it

Just because a product was offered at a discount doesn't mean the review is fake or influenced. It was provided at a discount to facilitate the review. This product happens to be effective hence the positive reviews from product testers. Hope this helps.

This question was answered in a review of the product that was written more than a year ago. Most askers of that question want to reject the product or give a low rating if the answer is "no". Check the one star reviews.

They had a special promotion, "selling" the item for $1 in hopes of good reviews. They remind recipients to review. They encourage only good reviews -- if you don't like it you are supposed to tell them, not put it on FB. I have done this for a number of products now. I think I can be objective even if the item is free, but I'm beginning to wonder if most reviewers can. I haven't tried this item yet, but I will review it fairly!This whole experience has taught me to be a little cautious about the trust I put in FB reviews.

Definitely the review system needs tweaking! I suggest they 'weight' the reviewers, so those with verifiable info, a track record of genuine reviews, and so forth, their reviews get more 'weight' (ie count for two or something). Yelp does something like that now. As far as this green coffee bean extract, the giveaway is that all the other suppliers for the same product have lowish reviews, wouldnt make sense that this one supplier would have such a superior product.

I just assumed it was because the re-sellers are trying to promote the "perfect five star reviews" over other reviews to help boost their sales. Don't worry about the helpful/not helpful thing, you won't please everyone. I figure some people are looking at my reviews from a parent's perspective, some are looking at it from a kid or fanboy perspective and some are just re-sellers trying to move their (overpriced) products. If it helps any, I thought your review was spot on and just marked your review as helpful.

I give vine reviews less weight than other reviews. Not only is there an inherent bias when you receive a "gift" of a free product but they also try the product and do a quick review. They don't do the review after having the product for a reasonable period of time. At least Amazon notes that they are vine reviews.

I don't understand the question. This question is not proper English. If you're asking why I have done several reviews, I am catching up on reviews I have been meaning to give for quite some time.

No Prob!!!! I like other peoples feed back as well! It helps to hear from people who have actually bought and used a product and what their take on it is.

I think Consumer Reports review quality is getting worse. Too many products, they don't test like they used to, and their politics seem to affect a lot of their listings. I still subscribe and use their research, but find I need to use it as only one source. Watch their ratings vs. user ratings on various sites, and you will find lots of divergence.

First, did you notice that ever since you posted this the FAKE reviewers started posting reviews of various stars because you pointed out a flaw in their obvious plan to flood this market with fake reviews?! Also, there is no mention of where the pan comes from but it seems like China with all the fake Asian reviewers on here. Why doesn't Amazon look into this and get rid of their products? I wouldn't trust their products or their company for anything!

That was our experience. The company on has a one month warranty and two month return. Rather than post a negative review, as I did, why not threaten them with a negative review? At that point, there will be two bad reviews, which means that no one who reads reviews will ever buy their product. Maybe they will give you a refund. Unfortunately, we are out our investment.

I depend a lot on the reviews here on Amazon. More and more, I am seeing bogus reviews being written. Not only do I want to see Amazon deleting these reviews, I want to see these liars punished for their attempts to mislead consumers. It is bad business for both the companies doing this, and it makes Amazon look careless for allowing it to continue.

They're likely not real. Many of the so-called results have photos clearly taken in different areas/lighting or even shopped. So many reviews are clearly one-sided and sound forced. Put more weight on the reviews that list pros/cons and don't use ostentatious vocabulary.

Thanks very much for your response. Since mine was "finally" delivered they kept emailing me and asking me to take the low rating off because it might affect their sales. I really didn't want to do so because that's really too long to wait for something but did just to make them leave me alone. Amazon really should make room for explanations about that--all I could give as a reason was "other" and that didn't quite seem fair to other buyers.

This makes me suspicious that they are fake reviews.When a product has so many positive reviews like this and they are simple reviews, 99% of the time if not 100% they are faked.

Wow, you seem really cynical. What if someone wrote a 5 star review and they actually really did honestly like the product, you just don't believe them? I tell EVERYONE at the gym to invest in a polar HRM b/c they are the best. I don't need to be paid to be honest about items I love, apparently you do??
