Why would so many 5 star reviews be posted today and within a few days of today? Seems bogus to me since reviewers would not have had a chance 2know

I purchased 2 of these in November of 2014, but only did my review 2/13/15 based on a question that someone else had asked. It is possible that all of the reviews are legitimate based on the date difference between when the item was bought and when the review was written.

I have 3 bought in 2014 (Jan 17, May and September) one for the main floor, one for the ground floor which includes the garage I liked them so well I ordered another as a gift. Today I'm going to buy another as one of the handles is a little loose and I don't want to go without so I can have it if this one dies. Excellent aid for sure. If I was to review it the day it came it would be based on the others.

All I know is I can pick up a dime off the floor with this thing. It really is a great item.

Amazon doesn't proactively police its reviews (that I know of), but you can. Click the "Report Abuse" button next to the review and express your concern. That should get a moderator's attention.

I saw that too, and I think it was just an accident by the Reviewer. BUT - Anyone who reads the review will SEE that it is an error because the customer was quite pleased and very enthusiastic about buying more. Sometimes mistakes happen - and I think that's the situation here. But the overwhelming positive opinions will prevail. This is a popular item.

You can believe both. Some items have more than one seller and all of the reviews are lumped under the product, even if there are 20 sellers. You have to look and see who you are buying from. Some sellers are honest, others not so much.

If you go under "reviews", you can select the 1-star section and read the reviews of those who hate the game there. Otherwise, you'll probably be tricked by the 8,000 other reviews from people who love the game.

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.

They're eBay feedback rating is pretty good too. I believe it was 98% out of around 20,000 ratings. It really is strange that there is such a drastic difference between their reseller ratings vs. amazon

Thanks. Now it also shows reviews again. Strange. It did not show any reviews nor the link to write a review when I posted here 5 days ago. Maybe it was a glitch in the Amazon.com website or something. Cheers!

I am wondering the same thing. This camera has been for sale on amazon since the beginning of the month and there were 3 reviews as of last Thursday.

I am very confused by Amazon's new program to supply their top reviewers with free product in an attempt to help other Amazon shoppers. This program seems to be put in place to quickly propel sales of a particular item and in the case of this trimmer, which has not been on the market for very long, it has a very large number of reviews over a short period of time. And I always make my decision to purchase an item based on the number of reviews and the quality of the content of those reviews. So, this Vine program seems to lend itself to bias and misuse which really does not help the Amazon community! Maybe we should simply make the decision to not purchase Vine reviewed products? Just a thought!!!

I agree. I was just going through all the reviews and the majority got it for free or were not Verified Purchases. With that in mind, I am now skeptical of all of their products. Companies should realize that this whole paid review process can backfire.

Fake reviews will happen, but that doesn't mean they are all fake. I just popped on didn't see this earlier. Can't say for everyone but certainly working for me, helping to lower my appetite.

This is a VERY new product, one which only a week ago was 'pre-order only', so as of 12/02, it's very unlikely that anyone has 'direct experience' with it, save for having found a 'tester' in Macy's or some other upscale department stores. Accordingly, it may be necessary to wait a while to read any bona-fide reviews. For now, we'll just have to put up with a lot of witty Star Trek bon-mots!

I agree with Rick V.'s post. Many of the one star reviews appear to be written by users ranting about technical issues they know little about. Their "see my other reviews" often indicates they knew very little about the other products they reviewed. If a negitive review can't be supported by facts, and readers do not find the review helpful, Amazon should not use it. Some of the reviews are rather humorous excuses for not knowing what they ordered or how to use it.

I haven't seen the "under review" item. I just see that it's out of stock. I got mine yesterday. No problems I can see.

I don't remember how I came across these reviews, but I agree they are the most inventive reviews on Amazon. After reading a few hundred, I had to compose my own. I still check the site for new reviews.

They're even jumping on other products and trying to hijack the review section. They've tried to take over the top spot on P90X3 twice (unsuccessfully so far, but they've certainly got us dug in tight over there). They managed to displace the top review that had held its ground on a fitness app for almost 3 years. And right around 150 is the magic number they seem to be able to pull. Amazon has been made aware of this and are looking into it. After their second attack on P90X3 Amazon has been corresponding with us more and are taking the more seriously than other complaints I've had with campaign voting. While I can't say for sure, hopefully there are some conclusions to be drawn here.
