anyone else think its interesting that anyone who didn't give him five stars, was considered not helpful?

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.

I noticed that as well. I considered my review to be fair and pointed out some issues I had with it (the dinosaur mode really wasn't that good IMO), but I was marked unhelpful. I chalked it up to Grimlock fans or Transformer fan-boys, but the reseller theory is interesting.

I reviewed this and found several reviews with 5 stars that was not considered helpful. In my review I gave 5 stars, and was considered helpful. I'm not sure where you are going with this question?

Some people I think do use one. But I don't have one and I think it is great.

Hello Mr. Weller, no problem on assisting, I don't quite understand what you are asking me, please reframe.

What a kick I got out of reading the responses from a few well-meaning people who took your question seriously. Not everyone's a Tarantino fan (but I sure am).

My answer is that I am a little annoyed that just because I use these speakers Amazon thinks I am some kind of subject matter expert on their product and emails me whenever there is a question regarding it. This is a great way to give potential buyers the wrong info. I could say yes or no to this question and the Michael could make a decision based on my comment, truth is I don't know and lucky for Michael I am not the malicious type and come up with a BS answer.

My first reply about a month ago: "Whenever I see so many 5 star ratings I head over to Engadget, gizmodo, the wall street journal, etc. to see what they have to say. They like it. They think it's a game changer and that seems to fit in well with the reviews here." After a Month with the Dash Express my revised feelings: The poster above couldn't have been more right. It was a total buzz campaign at first. I was really let down by the Dash Express and any 5 star reviews are grossly exaggerating the positives and ignoring some serious flaws. Sorry for doubting you Michael.

Why do people bother answering if they "don't know" and, so, cannot be of any help at all? Weird.

Wow, what a helpful response (not). How about just answer the question and don't throw in useless comments.

I was repeating the recipients response who was very pleased with the gift. He is not an authority on the science of the product, nor am I. Grant

It may have been true when you wrote it that none of the five-star reviewers had done any other reviews before, but that's certainly not now, though it's less than two weeks later. But that was never evidence that the 5-star reviews were fake, anyway. I understand why someone would be skeptical of such an iinexpensive product, but I do wonder how you could be so confident that this is a scam without having any direct experience with the product.

Do people realize they don't _ have _ to _ answer a question?? I just ... mind blown... Here is my answer - I bought this but have not received it yet so I don't know. :)

Yes, but he should be instructed alot in its use. It is not hard to use but there arecertain adjustments that must be learned, to use us effectively.

Same feeling here. I have never seen a product with 93 5-star reviews and only 1 one negative, 1-star. Nothing in-between. Seriously??? Plus a number of people have mainly Ozeri reviews. Plus all these reviews are extremely frequent: one every few days. What are the chances???

oh really? it sounded pretty overall positive to me.. what part of the review moved it down a notch for you?

I'm not familiar with the five star. This is an amazing clipper. I'm very satisfied.

@BMX---that's what I thought he was asking, but perhaps he didn't pay attention to the pictures which is why I directed his attention to them....but I wasn't sure.
