I find it highly amusing that you think some posts might be plants because they are "for the most part, properly spelled." As a teacher, I find that very very sad. By the way, I've been using this product at least once or twice a week for over a year with absolutely no problems. I continue to stand by my original review.

Well I, for one, am definitely not a company plant and this is the first time I have ever reviewed a product even though I shop quite often on Amazon. It might seem suspicious and "rehearsed" but maybe we might just be that enthusiastic about the product...... also food for thought.

The reviews are oddly and consistently enthusiastic, to the point where they mention the brand name waaay too often. Real customers are often less "rehearsed" sounding in their write-ups. Definitely food for thought.

I am not a company plant either. In fact, I had never even heard of this company before I wrote my review. I only write reviews if I really DON'T like a product or I really DO like a product. Could it be that the reviews are consistently enthusiastic because this is a good product? Should I hide the fact that I am an educated consumer so as to sound "less rehearsed" in my write-up? This product is the real thing. Give this company some credit for all their hard work on making a good product and caring about their customers.

It helps if you pick "verified purchaser" when you look at the reviews, and also compare the 1-star reviews (and how many are verified purchasers) to the higher ones... if there are a lot of low ranking reviews from verified purchasers, beware...

No no, I'm sure all these people just happened to buy the exact same chalk board paper, rubber bracelets, spiral cutter, diet supplements, and swimming cap. Right. To anyone not in the know, there are companies out there that issue a refund in exchange for 5 star ratings, and that looks like the case for nearly all 5 star reviews here (in other words, people leave good reviews to get stuff for free).

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.

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.

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.

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.

No idea. I wonder also when I browse and read reviews. I only take those with "verified amazon purchase" reviews seriously. Not much I am aware of unless others can chip in.

Other customers is all you're going to get answers from here. I have never seen any company reps chime in on this forum; this is strictly peer group responses.

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.

If Amazon doesn't start to police the gaming of their reviewing system (which is rampant, IMHO) being done by authors and third party sellers, they may as well stop with the reviews. I've been burned a couple of times by products that have 5 star reviews that ended up in my trash bin upon delivery. Sure, there are good 3rd party sellers out there, but how can I tell the good from the bad? I'm done with 3rd party sellers. It's either Amazon selling it or I don't buy it.

I have no answer for this, but took a look at the products that a lot of the 5 star reviewers reviewed. It appears as if a lot of them reviewed the same supplements, books, wire hangers, and LED lights. Smells like paid reviewers to me. The likelihood that all of those people happened to purchase and love all of the same products is almost impossible.

Don't worry Oscar...some (who?) will claim the comparison was doctored by a Creative employee. Things have gotten so out of hand here....sadly...Rather than an educated helpful discussion from which we can all benefit...we get accusations that are beyond acceptable and total nonsense. It's the old silly attack the messenger tactic. Sad. We need to learn from each other and help each other make informed unbiased decisions no matter which unit we buy.

I'd like Amazon to take a look at this. These reviews are definitely fake, and this is completely unfair. It's probably a moot point since no one buys this product, but seriously - check this out!First of all, every single 5-star review - each person has ONLY REVIEWED THIS PRODUCT.Secondly, each five star review has NOTHING bad to say about the product. Usually, reviews have positive things to say, and at least one negative thing to say.

I agree. I was just going through all the reviews and the majority got it for free or were not Verified Purchases. With that in mind, I am now skeptical of all of their products. Companies should realize that this whole paid review process can backfire.

That's a dumb claim. What is a "fake review?" I get offered free products to review and no one has ever said they would only give me a free test item if I gave them a high rating. I am also a real person who tries out products just like any person who buys them. I rate and review both products I buy and ones I get for free. I was offered this product to try and in no way did the person who sent it to me ask that I rate it in any particular way, they asked if I could provide an unbiased review. Its dumb to claim that these are "fake" reviews. Who do you think is writing them, robots? That's a dumb claim. What is a "fake review?"

One way to tell if a review is fake, is if it says amazon verified purchase on it. If they at least purchased the product from Amazon it is less likely to be a fake. Another way to tell is by reading them, most of the fake reviews are the sorts you would hear on the infomercials. Like, This product is great, i have tried many weight loss supplements with no effect. But once i tried "product" i just couldn't believe the difference. They usually talk about how this is the only product for them, and try to discourage you from buying other products. Or just plain and simple leave a simple review not explaining their experience with the product, and just claiming it works. People get paid to leave fake reviews, so just because they have prior reviews doesn't always mean they are real reviews. Maybe the previous ones were fake as well. Or maybe they were a previous member who shopped on amazon and now is doing fake reviews for companies. All of those are possibilities. So just pay close attention to the reviews, check to see if they are verified purchases, and if they sound too good to be true. Usually your gut instincts will kick in and tell you that a review is fake.
