On the Goldbox deal page, this item lists 47 reviews that average 3-stars, but when you go to the player's page, it suddenly has 4 reviews and a near 5-star average rating...how did that happen?

Yeah I was wondering the same. When I clicked on the reviews link instead of the product link it took me to a review page for some Photography magazine. Maybe it is just something wrong with Goldbox page.

I see that now...I should have done more detective work! It wouldn't make sense that Amazon would want to display on the Goldbox page that the reviews are only average when they are actually high, so it must be a mistake. However, the other discussion does reveal that this model has been replaced with a much better wireless streaming model and that Blu-ray player systems must be upgraded from time to time; one reveiwer even commenting that their old one does not play newer discs...that is strange...

The only reviews I pay attention to are 1) Verified buyers or 2) Those who very obviously have bought the product and are reviewing it here for benefit of other users. If there is a questionable review, just check the "reviewer ranking" to see how often they review on Amazon. I usually tend to pay more attention to the top 10k reviewers (if someone is in the 15 million area and their review fishy... you can probably ignore them for the time being.) ; )

One of the one star reviews was not a review, but was somebody pointing out that the reviews must be "fixed" b/c they're part of the Vine program. This is the first I've heard of the program, but not that Amazon has not deleted this faux review which gave this sale product one star when the reviewer makes no mention of purchasing the TV. That kind of thing makes it hard to believe that Amazon is dealing in a shady way. At most, maybe they got this TV in the hands of reviewers who tend to give more positive reviews. Still, if it was a POS, they would have said so. Kind of hard to wade through the B.S. here and come to the correct conclusion. I'm still not certain.

Plenty of reviews on line, which I took with a grain of salt. I didn't find they reduced mine but they haven't progressed either. I remain optimistic.

Not a major deal for me, since I didn't pay anything for shipping and I grabbed this for the discount rather than any pressing need for storage. I'm now starting to wonder since it's been a few days and this still hasn't shipped. Seems like Amazon must have oversold this item when they made this a gold box special. Which is weird since they normally limit the number of items sold at the deal price to prevent this from happening. If you paid for expedited shipping it might be worthwhile to contact Amazon to see if you can get a refund for shipping without canceling your order. I don't know if they'd do it or not but it seems like a reasonable request for something that's been unexpectedly put on back order.

I am very confused by Amazon's new program to supply their top reviewers with free product in an attempt to help other Amazon shoppers. This program seems to be put in place to quickly propel sales of a particular item and in the case of this trimmer, which has not been on the market for very long, it has a very large number of reviews over a short period of time. And I always make my decision to purchase an item based on the number of reviews and the quality of the content of those reviews. So, this Vine program seems to lend itself to bias and misuse which really does not help the Amazon community!Maybe we should simply make the decision to not purchase Vine reviewed products?

Hi C., thanks for asking. We are new to Amazon but to the best of my knowledge the last review (4 stars) from Ronald Richman is. The others are from purchasers from our retail operation - we are asking every customer to give us reviews. Hope that helps.

This makes me suspicious that they are fake reviews.When a product has so many positive reviews like this and they are simple reviews, 99% of the time if not 100% they are faked.

It should say next to the price. Hit the link that says something like "show more offers new and used", it should list all the sellers, their prices, condition, and quantity. I think it's like 60$ for 3 cans. I only got a single though.

I can not address the 2 or 1 question. Seems to me I got my last 3 for about $50 each.

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.

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.

I think Consumer Reports review quality is getting worse. Too many products, they don't test like they used to, and their politics seem to affect a lot of their listings. I still subscribe and use their research, but find I need to use it as only one source. Watch their ratings vs. user ratings on various sites, and you will find lots of divergence.

Does this not scream sales pitch? This, along with the 9,591 reviews, has to make you wonder how they are getting away with this. I especially like the responder who says "I don't believe the review ...". Are you kidding? Who says that? When you review a product, you do not write sales pitches. Free samples should be noted next to each reviewer.

It could be a couple of things. Look at how many servings you are getting. A single box as box has 9. Are you looking at multiple boxes? Also, I have noticed that some sellers will post astronomical prices for items. I have no idea why or if they are really serious about selling an items.

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?
