I don't know what percentage of reviewers would think. I believe they are a great product

I found it quite suitable for kids- clear, durable, handy, and still in good condition after being used for a long time.

Guess this question has to be put to a vote. Lovely. Heck of a lot of good this "ask people who've purchased the item" does when the two responders can't even agree about something objective! ("Do the eyes close?")

I have that question a lot when I buy things from online, I tend to look at the reviews and score, if it's high enough and good to me I'll buy it, and so far everything I've bought off here has not been defective or anything, not sure if this helps but it's a good tip to keep in mind when buying online

I didn't use enough features to give an informed opinion. Read reviews for the ones you find to be likely choices.

Actually if you've done any googling you would have found out that there are 1000s of Vine reviewers currently and you only need to have one or two reviews to get invited. There is also some analysis out there that looks at how Vine products rate versus these peoples normal reviews. Turns out about the same averages. Personally, I think most people are honest enough to try to do a good job. Then again, most people view the actions of others as they themselves would react. Thus I think they're honest, because I am. You think they are cheats because...

I always look at a reviewers profile. If they give a super amazing review, and they have only reviewed the 1 product, you can pretty safely assume the review is fake. Or they've only reviewed the 1 product plus a second other random product, (which seems to happen a lot to make them seem more "believeable") I assume those reviews are fake too. I think many companies pay people to write the reviews because it seems very common. I see alot of this on amazon especially with the health & beauty and cooking-type products. I wish there was a way to make people more aware of this.

I'm a Vine reviewer and have submitted plenty of negative and mediocre reviews. I think if a reviewer were to be "fired" for negative reviews, the public would hear about it loud & clear! Since Vine still uses my services, I think I am the proof that there is no grade-shopping going on! Unfortunately, I never saw this item offered to Vine participants, but I think I will purchase one today. I appreciate the Vine reviews and do not consider them artificially inflated.

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.

probably under the reviews, or you can do so at yahoo.com, people often look under there.

Depends on how good your eyes are. It does the job for me. It's a good product.

James you are correct. If you pay any attention at all to product reviews, it is blatantly obvious. An average customer doesn't use all the technical information that the companies will. Sad thing is now customer reviews are only helpful if they are bad. Those are the only ones I read and go from there.

It helps if you pick "verified purchaser" when you look at the reviews, and also compare the 1-star reviews (and how many are verified purchasers) to the higher ones... if there are a lot of low ranking reviews from verified purchasers, beware...

I'm glad Amazon has transparency factors, such as "verified purchase" and "see my other reviews" to help discern legitimate reviews from possible phony reviews. If you peek under the covers, many of these stellar reviews appear suspicious.

Simple answer: look at more than 130 complaints-customer reviews 3* and less.

It gets better (or worse, depending upon your perspective). Two days ago there were 13 reviews. Yesterday the number went up to 22. Now there are 3.

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.

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??
