How many of the reviews are bought and fake, I notice a pattern when It comes to other not so common products they reviewed?

Justin....I don't know....However I have bragged about this light to all my friends, and I purchased another one, because I liked it so much.

I can assure you that my review was not fake, or bought. The light was so poorly made that it would not even allow the battery to be inserted. Amazon, however, and as always, stood behind the product, and a refund was issued promptly. That is why I do not hesitate at all when buying from Amazon. :)

Not sure, but this product really deserves loads of good feedback. I have this package and I am more than happy with what you get for the money.

It's a good question but if you look at this seller's reviews, you'll quickly see that reviews which were given in exchange for an honest review (like the person below) give the required Amazon disclosure. First of all reviewers are not required give reviews in exchange for the product they receive. Their account, and the merchants' account can be banned for this. It's good to remember that Amazon's top Vine reviewers are all given free products in exchange for their honest reviews.

I wonder the same thing, especially when I see the product was given free for a review. However, I bought mine and love it. I carry it on our morning walk at 4:30 AM and it's virtually as light as a feather. I use the longest range to look down the street for skunks. I definitely am a fan.

I can assure you, sir, that mine is real. Yes, I received the flashlight in exchange for an HONEST review, but it was an honest review. This is a beyond great flashlight and I stated that in my review.

I can't speak to what other reviewers received but I can tell you the item I received a was a Doan's. My advice is to stay away from sellers that are way below the price that other sellers have the item listed at. If the deal seems too good to be true than it probably is and you should look elsewhere. Good luck to you and I hope you find what you're looking for!

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.

Personally, The one I have looks exactly like the picture. I don't know much about fakes, but as for me, I check product and reviews before buying any product.

There are some that are not real, but some that are. It just depends on who the seller is. When I purchased mine from amazon, the seller was a hair salon so it was authentic. I would stay away from private sellers or sellers you don't know.

I thought the exact same thing - such reviews are a destroyer of the forum's credibility. Send me one and I'll give an honest review - oh, except I don't have to pay $80. Well THAT is the part that makes me honest!

Why are you asking it? I think they don't sell fake products or people will negative the seller.

I have bought several, and most of these are fake. I did buy one that was the real thing. I can't find the seller,

They're real, not all products are sold in stores. Plus if you try any of their products and don't like them they will refund your money.

We're just helping each other out one comment at a time. The best place to find out about the products is from the people who use them. Comments have helped me decide on whether to buy or not, many times.

People might want to notice that the positive answers are all phrased similarly and were made within a day or two of the question being asked. Either the seller is posing as satisfied customers, or people who ordered this check Amazon on a daily basis to see if there are questions about it, or ... it's a coincidence. In general, watch for names that look similar, in the same tone, posted around the same time.

Because people are leaving negative reviews for a particular seller on a product page that is used for many sellers instead of leaving the negative reviews on the seller's page. Amazon is a marketplace with many different sellers selling the same items. This page describes the product, and gives you a list of sellers to choose from (though it does default to one seller, there is a list of others to the right of the page). I only buy from sellers that use Amazon to fulfill the order and I also check the reviews on the seller's page. Reviews on this page should only be the opinion of the actual lotion, not if they got fake lotion (that should go on the seller's feedback)...unless they give the seller's name here because that would be helpful.

You are right. The reviews here are very misleading. It sounds like paid advertisement to me. The one place I know that give honest reviews is overstock. You can tell these are real customers, reporting from real experiences.

Angela, We cannot explain opinions of other buyers. This product comes to us directly from the manufacturer and we price it based on rank and popularity of the listing. Therefore, prices are always fluctuating to stay competitive. Thanks, Jessica Super Duper Deals

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 just check and see if they have other reviews, especially different types of products, my reviews are really random, lots of different products and categories. So find the review you find most relevant then check their other reviews and if they seem legitimate, then your probably safe. In the case of this product, I found several 5 star reviews very legitimate, I just ordered and will definitely give a review.
