Why are most of the 825 comments for this product made on December 9, 2013? Very suspicious...

I agree. I was foolish enough to fall for it and it was crap. They have obviously been hard at work trying sell this junk.

Hi E.H.! Many of the reviews were made during a promotion that was run in December.

Yes, I am wondering about that too. And it seems nearly all of those are 5 star reviews. With that said, I did order with a groupon, which made it pretty affordable. I have had 3 meals so far. So far the food is OK. Tastes like what you'd expect something from the freezer to taste like. It's not gourmet, and I do like the convenience. The jury is still out on this one. I am a little suspicious now of the rave reviews given.

I realize that I'm years late to comment on this, but that is exactly why you should use the forums for complaints about the company/fulfillment/etc. and use the ratings for the products. I didn't see your rating when skimming through, but I saw the effect of your two-star rating. Now, years after many people have had to wait for their units, production is not longer having trouble keeping up with demand, and your two-star rating is no longer relevant, but still affects the average rating.Regardless, Chris N. was a jerk in the way he/she addressed the misuse of the rating system.

Haha, It does seem a little high doesn't it? Most likely when someone created the item page on Amazon they fell prey to EBKAC, (error between keyboard and chair) and made a simple typing mistake. You run into these on occasion.

Most reviews are from 2013, I just bought it last week and I can assure you it is NOT real, smells different, does not last and label on bottom is different. Also look at the barcodes on the box, 1 has a lot of #'s the other have 4 #'s. Go to Dillards, Macy etc.. and look at the box.. they are different. Besides the price is a BIG RED FLAG

That's a very good question. I had purchased this a few years ago myself and had done a review for it way back then. Something must have happened with wiping out the previous reviews. I went to review a recent item a couple of days ago and this thing popped back up again, and, again, I knew that I had reviewed it at least a few years back. As for why...I couldn't tell you, but something definitely went goofy. I didn't mind reviewing it again, but it is definitely a strange situation.

I checked a few of the reviewers posting histories. While the ones who have only a single record of reviewing any product might be cause for suspicion, there are many other reviewers whose records appear to be legitimate. I'd suggest that this is not a case of a manufactured conspiracy, but simply a case of poor manufacturing quality control. The buyers who got good units were very satisfied. The buyers who got less-than-good-units were not very satisfied. BTW, this product is currently on sale at a daily-deal website for $69.99 delivered. Your review (and others complaining of poor quality) convinced me to purchase this product ONLY if covered by a "satisfaction guaranteed" warranty.

This product page is packed full of suspicious reviews. Whoever is doing this is even buying Google adwords which tout the great reviews that are now available to read on the Amazon page. What a shame. Especially since the product is pretty good and should sell quite well on its own, just through standard word-of-mouth. But the manufacturer has potentially buried all of the real, honest reviews with the hype. I can't trust them, and on principle I have to object.

This is a VERY new product, one which only a week ago was 'pre-order only', so as of 12/02, it's very unlikely that anyone has 'direct experience' with it, save for having found a 'tester' in Macy's or some other upscale department stores. Accordingly, it may be necessary to wait a while to read any bona-fide reviews. For now, we'll just have to put up with a lot of witty Star Trek bon-mots!

No, not at all. I have no idea why they would put that date on it except that it may be the date it was trademarked.

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.

really? you want to comment like that 9 months later? don't ask a question if you don't want replies. do your research on your own. did you make a comment back to the other reply you received. have a great day

I would imagine that by now (Dec. 1, 2008) you have seen these sets of review posts?

I contacted the company. There is a number on the end of the box that might look like "31413". The last two of these numbers are internal coding and can be ignored. The first two are the month and year of manufacturing. So these were made in 3/14 and according to the company they are good for two years from that date so in this example the product would be good until 3/16.

I agree with Rick V.'s post. Many of the one star reviews appear to be written by users ranting about technical issues they know little about. Their "see my other reviews" often indicates they knew very little about the other products they reviewed. If a negitive review can't be supported by facts, and readers do not find the review helpful, Amazon should not use it. Some of the reviews are rather humorous excuses for not knowing what they ordered or how to use it.
