If you go look at the 2020 model of this there are 630 separate different customer reviews. I Highly doubt all of them were bogus. 420 of those gave this product a 4 star rating or higher. That's good enough for me.

Can someone tell me how much voltage the 110V charger puts out to the battery on the BG2020 ? My charger is bad and I can't find a replacement so I am hoping to find a generic charger to use instead. The voltage should be listed on the charger itself, but mine was accidently tossed out. Thanks for any help...

T., I just searched on amazon and found the charger for you: Norelco Philips BG2020 & BG2030 Bodygroom Charging Cord

I really appreciate you finding one for me but I went ahead and bought the complete unit again. I now have a spare shaver......

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).

are you speaking in general, or did you have issues with this particular Philips BG2030 Body Groomer ?

Good question - I tried to write an even stronger review warning against this vendor, but the that kind of content is apparently inappropriate for a review - I'm supposed to leave that kind of feedback in another place (one that I haven't yet found). All I could do is review the product, so that's what I did.

I must confess it is a bit disturbing to have the company president tracking down bad reviewers in the company database! Rather chilling and kind of Orwellian, don't you think? Also, your statement that OMyGarden has a near perfect record of customer satisfaction is wildly incorrect - on eBay, you have only a 97.2% rating (even mine is 99.2) and on Amazon a whopping 11% left negative feedback, with another 6% leaving only neutral feedback. This does not reflect an acceptable level of customer satisfaction. Perhaps ypur time would be better specnt improving your product and shaping up your customer service department than trolling the web looking for bad reviews and seeking out the reviewers.

Well, it appears Amazon spammed past purchasers of a product all on the same day in what appears to be a staged question. I mean really, this question defies logic. If you own it, you would know from feeling it whether it would work or not and if you are wanting to buy it, why would you even consider buying a wash mitt for waxing? And what about the forums that are already there, where people comment about products. Were those not doing the job? No, I'm not believing that this is genuine.

LOL! My review was removed yet again! Haha! Get it through your heads price gougers! I can copy and paste with the best of them, understand I have no intention of letting it slide. In fact, your attempts to silence me have only strengthened my resolve. Suck it!

I am definitely thinking the same thing; I posted a not very positive review a couple of days ago, and within hours tons of 5 star reviews popped up and my two star review went back to page two or three. I think that somebody (or bodies) are playing us for stupid. lol

There is another marketing tactic going on here besides the fake, "certified, therapeutic grade," trademarked marketing ploy. "Now," and "Mountain Rose," brands had been recommended to me. So, I typed those into the search engine, and was even able to click on wanting only those brands, and I got sent to this brand, which likely paid Amazon for advertising. This is dishonest, as Amazon's search engine should let me know that they don't carry a particular product, and can recommend another (of their sponsored products) rather than taking me to a page so I might misunderstand that this is the brand I am looking for, carried by another company.

I had the same results when I sent them email; that's why I decided to call them. As far as lying, if I don't get my order in another week, I'll know who did the lying/misinforming. Amazon should realize they have alot of competition and I'm willing to pay a couple extra dollars for better service than this. I'm supposed to get my order by the 17th. I'll drop a line here to let you know what happen, if you like.

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 find this entire conversation to be incredibly sad because NEVER has amazon reacted to any of the reviews I've reported for being actual garbage. Yet they find the time to repeatedly remove your review. Obviously, the customer isn't as important to amazon as the reseller.

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!

Agree- price gouging and Amazon should take the high road and disallow it. Gouging is taking advantage of supply restraints by raising the price artificially. Doesn't have anything to do with if you actually buy or not to be gouging. It is gouging by definiton. Look it up. But don't give em the satisfaction. Wait, be patient and shortly they will be everywhere. You have survived all this time w/out one-you can wait another month or two. Trust me, by then they will be easy to get. Why? Cuz a whole bunch more are coming down the pike and the wow factor of this one will diminish. Wait til Amazon announces their own quad-core one here shortly or when Samsung's sweet tablet hits the street, etc etc. I too would like to try one of these, but after seeing more than one review mention the case quality being poor and the unit actually separating where the front and back meet, I am skeptical. Thus, why I want to buy from someone like Amazon who has a liberal return policy. Could have bought one today at newegg no problem, but with a nonrefundable return policy-no way. They are out there, but buyer beware is what I say. I'm babbling...out.

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.

I completely agree. Bad move Amazon. Stick the discussion button in the corner and put the comments in the more obvious location on the page. Or even have it in both places, but comments are FAR more relevant and usefu for a potential purchasel. I have no interest in discussing anything! Just want to read comments...

That's a dumb claim. What is a "fake review?" I get offered free products to review and no one has ever said they would only give me a free test item if I gave them a high rating. I am also a real person who tries out products just like any person who buys them. I rate and review both products I buy and ones I get for free. I was offered this product to try and in no way did the person who sent it to me ask that I rate it in any particular way, they asked if I could provide an unbiased review.

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.
