is it possible that this product has it's reviews 'loaded' with glowing reports by the manufacturer or distributor? I have found it to be worthless.

Nope... I'm not a manufacturer or distributor and it's fulfilled my needs perfectly - maybe you're putting too heavy a load on it or something...

I don't know. I purchased it as a gift for a friend who is starting to get more serious about photography, but hikes a lot. She wanted a fairly lightweight tripod. I will be checking up on how she likes it, and reporting back. I thought of it as a "first" tripod.

I would say that if you find it worthless, you must very high expectations for the price.I know that there are better tripods out there but not for that price.I have no connection or nothing to gain, I work in construction not photography.I wonder what your motive is?

Well I think it's quite a good product for the money and gave it 5 stars, and I have nothing at all to do with the manufacturer or any distributors.

Amazon verifies purchases. So you can just read the reviews that say "Amazon verified purchase" (this is at the top of the review), which means the reviewer bought the item if you are really that concerned. This works for anything on amazon, not just this tripod.

Check out the 1-star ratings of this and other products by Everpure. Many shoppers have caught them redhanded at writing bogus reviews! Integrity is clearly not this company's strongest suit. Therefore, I wouldn't be surprised if they re-sell used products that have been returned. I personally will steer clear of buying anything that affects my health from such a shady seller.

Thank you, Travis. Many reviews do look fake -- how can a no name brand get 75 reviews in only 2 months of product launch? Anyway, since I've already bought it, I'll keep trying. Appreciate your tips, though.

Your own negative review of this product is visible. That should prove there's no vast conspiracy to quash negative reviews.

Marketing strategies...perhaps, but possibly because the product isnt any better than something from RadioShack at a lot less. I returned mine...still havent been credited back. Bad news, Bro.

Hi Rebecca, I am not advertising anything. I just gave a review. It's been month but I think I bought it for someone else. From other reviews online, it's just a gimmick. So it does not work as advertise, it's for gullible people and I was one.

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 pasted a group of exercises in my review of this product. Click on 4 star reviews. My moniker is By JLSMD "LaughingAllTheWay" . Right now, it appears my review is the second in the list of 4 star reviews. Good luck to you.

Hi, I'm a part of the Fluenz team. Thanks for taking an interest in our software and for your concern over Amazon remaining a valuable place for people looking to get objective reviews. We've been selling at Amazon for about a year and a half now. Over the course of that time, Amazon has contacted thousands of our users directly, and hundreds of them have responded by posting Seller Reviews. I bring this up because the Seller Reviews--4.8 stars from nearly 300 people--mirror the general feelings of the product reviews. There are a few negative ones in there (one person hated that he had to use the DVD, another experienced a shipping mistake, others had some usability issues), but overall they're very positive. And the only way anyone can submit a Seller Review is if they actually buy a Fluenz program at Amazon, and Amazon contacts them directly asking for their comments. Of course all the reviews on our product pages are real, but I think pointing you to these Seller Reviews is the easiest way to show this. You can read these reviews here:

This company is a scam. Interested in the details? Google the company and you'll find your answers on the first page of results. In fact, it's enough to have a thorough look at their reviews. The positive ones are mainly biased / bought reviews. Check the unfavorable ones for a real taste of what's happening. You're welcome.

I bought it too but didn't open it yet, looking for non bogus reviews...if these reviews are bogus i'd like to know what the quams are with this product (2030).

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.

No idea. I wonder also when I browse and read reviews. I only take those with "verified amazon purchase" reviews seriously. Not much I am aware of unless others can chip in.

I would just read the seller reviews--if customers are unhappy with what they receive from that seller, look for one with better reviews.

I cannot say from experience but did a Google on the company and the comments were not at all encouraging so I cancelled my purchase. The old adage, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is not true.

Thanks for the info. It really helps to get feedback from another consumer as opposed to the company. I appreciate your taking the time. KV

I am VERY sceptical of the reviews of this product. Rarely does ANY product receive a 4.9 rating (and NO 1, 2, or 3 star reviews) with as many reviews (73 as of 1 Jan 14), and wrist monitors are NOTORIOUSLY INNACURATE. It took me 3 minutes to scan all 73 "reviews," and I found that NOT ONE had an "Amazon Verified Purchase" tagline on it, further reinforcing my belief that these are phony reviews probably mostly done by Ozeri employees (many of them even say their review is in exchange for the device, i.e., they got it FREE). I say AVOID the thing and save the grief.
