Reviews on this item: Am I the only one here who thinks it's peculiar about the reviewers on this item?

You made me suspicious, but after sampling 10 of the reviews, I found that 10/10 of the authors had multiple reviews posted for other unrelated items. I think it's legitimate.

I've notice that, too. Looking at buying a receiver and all of them seem to have this rate. Is it perhaps sample size? Most of them seem to have less than 100. Sometimes I wonder if the negative stories are real. But in one case I trust the person and the review is real.

I agree, most of the reviews seem to be spam. A dead giveaway is that for most of the reviewers, this is the only product they have reviewed on Amazon.

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.

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???

I have yet to encounter a single comment on mine that isn't positive. People are more curious or don't notice them at all, they are on the ceiling afterall. The ones that notice them end up wanting some.

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 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.

Not sure what you are talking about but your accussations are unappreciated, the prices are set on Amazon and we sell hundreds of items on Amazon every month, I am not sure what you are seeing but your comment is not true or appreciated.

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.

Hi Seth. I red some bad reviews about this computer too.But these are not about reviewed this computer. More like sellers. I guess I got lucky. Mine is all fine as I wrote my review about this computer. This computer is hard working machine! !

Hi Scott, I reviewed this product and if you look you can see I reviewed a wide variety of items I purchased through amazon including 3 different brands of this product. Some of the products I loved. Some I hated and some were just ok. I assure you I don`t work for this sellar or any of the others.

I think all the reviews and the fact they are posted answeres your question without your asking. You can make up your own mind. As with any company that has a reseller base why would Amazon want to antagonize their resellers? I am sure many have ignored your qustion as just not important. I thought you should read an answer from someone with an honest prospective who has never had your thought. Many of the pictures and videos are posted by customers.You seem to be focused on a picture of which you may not be familiar with its source. I rely on the revies more than what things look like.

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!

I agree that several reviews appear to overly positive and generic. It makes me suspicious that they might be fake reviews.

I am not the seller. I don't know why this came to me. Maybe you sent it to me as a reviewer rather than a seller. Try sending them a question again. Good luck
