Why all the bad reviews on homedepot.com?
1884872
I haven't seen the "bad reviews" on the HD site. However, I am very happy with my Makita track saw. Have used it mostly for cutting plywood sheets, but also to straighten edges on various types of wood. It has done a great job for me.

I don't have any idea why the poor reviews on the HD site. I really like mine. I've used it to break down cabinet grade ply wood. I got as good an edge as I would have on my table saw. I've used it to get a true edge on some 5/4 rough heart pine. it cut beautifully. I see a number of the HD reviews are complaining about the track. It seems like several of the reviewers did not realize there are some adjustments to make sure that the saw is tight in the track. As far as shipping, mine shipped from Amazon and it was well packaged. No problem with the track. I don't have experience with other track saws, but I can't imagine them being significantly better than my Makita. I don't have any idea why the poor reviews on the HD site. I really like mine.

I can't speak to that, but at the risk of sounding like a Makita shill, my satisfaction with this saw will tilt my future power tool purchase decisions in their direction.

some are legit. The saw is poorly packaged and easily damaged in shipping as a result. I'll agree to that. One said there is latteral play. Yah, if you don't adjust the two cams that take up the play, dah! Some are about damage in shipping. But! And this is a big but, this is a fantastic tool for the money. Straight true cuts in sheet goods are possible and chip free cuts in melamine and laminate are a delight. If you can afford a Festool by it. If not, this is the next best thing.

Because Home Depot doesn't care how the product gets to the customer. All the bad reviews I have read are from bent rails and damaged product. I used the saw at the JLC show and have used Festool and Mafele and the makita is as good if not better and easier on the wallet. I am a cabinet maker and finish carpenter and love this saw.

I can't answer this but can only speculate. I understand manufacturing flaws but I think most users are not reading the book and properly setting up the saw the first time. I've used mine multiple times and have never had a problem. I love it!

I personally don't think Amazon should let people review a product unless they bought it from them. The fake reviews can really skew a product's ratings. To second what Matt said, look for a trend in the ratings from verified purchasers vs. ratings from random people. :-)

Please visit SPT website for more information. http://www.sunpentown.com/ This company has been in the small home appliances business for many years. The quality and customer support are above average. Many products have very good reviews on Amazon. However, this window AC is a new product and only has one review on Amazon so far.

I believe you are correct. The positive reviews are junk, all extremely similar with the 'talking points', many end with the same "In conclusion..", all the same length - poor job by the company in faking this makes me think the product is shady. I will not be ordering now.

These are bogus reviews. It did nothing for me. I would say 90% of these reviews are from a circle of false reviewers. Check all their other product reviews and you will see that they are reviewing the same circle of products

You will get many different answers. Read the reviews and decide on your own. I call it just right and wished they had it 10 yrs ago

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.

I did check out PriceMad after I posted and there are way too many negative comments. I did buy the KDL 52W3000 from Amazon, thru their dealer, J&R-----.; I checked J&R; out and comments/reviews are great. I got it for $2199 with free s&H.; and it has been shipped, so they say.Whoopee!

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.

Feeling lucky the snow joe was backordered... There are quite a few reviews on the QVC site, and nearly half say the thing didn't work for more than a few minutes. Trying to cancel my order by getting a hold of True Value/Home & Beyond has also been a nightmare. I'd say the reputation of Toro with the peace of mind from ordering directly from Amazon is the way to go.

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! !

Thanks for pointing this out. I checked on most of the reviewers, they have reviews on a lot of products so I'm skeptical and will try a different product.

Amazon sent me a refund and I went and bought one at a local retailer. These guys are probably the worst online sellers ive ever dealt with. Ventech has a website too.

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.

You might get good seeds, but you might not. What you will get if you have an issue it ridiculed by the seller! I was looking to buy several of these kits for family. After reading all the low reviews, which I always do, I wouldn't buy from them just because of their arse-hole responses to people who had issues with them! It's one thing to stand by your product it's another to be total jerks to customers.

Because the site you have referenced does not look legitimate. The site is poorly built and the pricing on the items is very inconsistent. I would say this is probably a scam.
