Many reviewers have said they recieved a cheap knockoff, not a quality MSR product. How can I know if I will get the real thing?

Pocket Rocket comes in the original MSR packaging... I purchased the pocket rocket and a cheap $10 stove from China as a back up... You can tell the difference in quality and function. However, the cheap knockoff also worked well on my last few trips. Pocket rocket heats faster and opens up more for larger pots than the cheaper stove...

Nope. Mine was a fake. If you google "fake Shu Uemura curler" you'll find several blogs with photos comparing the real and the counterfeits (also YouTube videos), including the ways you can tell on the boxes they come in whether yours is real or fake... Hope you get a real one!

Hello Jungsu. I have purchased a number of items online and the best way to protect yourself is by looking at the feedback other's have left about the vendor. Also look at the reviews written about the product. I purchased mine and it is genuine.Good luck

Yes! I paid $10 more to buy this from amazon as the seller knowing that if something happened or it was a fake they would return it. I registered mine online and confirmed it was the real deal... Some reviewers had received fakes from other venders and could not register it because the product number didn't exisit

I just ordered one and will be inspecting it thoroughly and then reviewing it and the seller. If it's a knock off Amazon will hear about it and will be getting it back with complaint. I bought one day shipping so it will be here fast!

The first one I got was from some retailer and was a knock off. Returned it, got the one actually sold by Amazon and it was the real deal.

I'll just say that if it is a knock off I cannot tell at all. Mine has the same look and details on the bottle and even came in the seche vite box. The quality of the polish is the same so I'm inclined to believe it is real :)

I've heard there are knock-offs out there. So, buyer beware and purchase mfg products.

Mine was original and if it was counterfeit they did an amazing job. Works great as always.

I just received a knockoff that was sold by East River Inc and fulfilled by Amazon. I will be contacting Amazon for a proper replacement, and I have to say I am very disappointed with Amazon. Clearly I am not the first person to receive a knockoff, but I trusted I would receive a real one since I knew it was fullfilled by Amazon. When an item is fulfilled by Amazon, that means they are holding it in their warehouse and have the opportunity to inspect it, so it is inexcusable for them to be selling a counterfeit item.

I ordered one and it was not authentic. I called Amazon customer support and explained the problem. They said they "do not tolerate merchants selling knock offs" and sent me a new one overnight (and said that I should send back the first one). They said they would call to check if the replacement was authentic. The replacement arrived and it too was not authentic, so I ended up returning that one as well. I echo the "buyer beware." I don't care if this one is $100.00, if I'm going to pay $150+ for a hair dryer, it better be the real deal. I'm going elsewhere.

Make sure you purchased it from a trusted reseller. There are fake ones around.

No, the one I purchased was a cheap, knock off which I wrote in my negative review. I would not recommend it even though it looked and seemed fine. In price it was not cheap, just misrepresented. The only purchase I ever made on Amazon which I was disappointed.

Mine looks the same as yours.I think. I've used it, it seems great. I'm pretty sure it's authentic.

As far as I know, it's the genuine. I have one I bought from Amazon and it appears to be the "real" one.

The one Amazon sells directly is a fake, read the reviews on it! Hope this one is real.
