For once, just once: trust the negative reviews.

I have never been so severely disappointed in a product before, in my entire history of purchasing products from SimpleHuman. It was beautiful and functional at first, but a few months later and it's pretty much useless. It outright refuses to dispense soap unless I manually hold the "+" button, the sensor just doesn't work, and there were several occasions where it would just spew dish soap into the sink wastefully.

Have you ever tried to fight a soap dispenser that keeps spewing dish detergent as you try to turn it off? It's not pleasant.

For a tool designed to make cleaning simpler, it just made an even bigger mess.

So I came here to purchase some new ones. Thanks to these reviews I won't make the same mistake again.

I was debating purchasing this item, because it's rated five stars and I thought my son might enjoy it. Then, I checked the reviews. Most of them seem to say the same things and none are critical of the product in any way. So, I checked out the reviewers - nearly all have either 1 or 2 reviews, giving five stars to each. I think there were only two actual people in the entire list. The odds of 50+ people only reviewing this one item seems pretty slim, and for all of them to give it five stars - call me skeptical, but I believe these reviews are either from fake or paid accounts.

It's a terrible practice, and I really hope that some day Amazon does something to drastically deter it.

Read the included instructions on use before giving a negative review. :)

When you see the bad reviews you will notice ONE thing, NONE of them come from people who own or have spent any amount of time on an URB-E to make a review. What they are doing is making opinions NOT reviews. There is a difference.

The simple definition of Review is as follows.
 "an act of carefully looking at or examining the quality or condition of something or someone : examination or inspection"

The simple definition of Opinion is as follows.
"a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

If this was Amazon OPINIONS section it would be different, but its not. So maybe look at both understanding the above and make your own educated decision. I think "Fact" overrules anything else, but thats just my opinion , below is my review =)

First off. I rarely make reviews. I should make more but Im very busy. I can say Ive made over 2000 purchases from Amazon. I don't get free things to review and if I get something thats bad Id send it back. I depend a lot on reviews and usually only get a 4.5 star or above product and Ive never gone wrong. That being said, Im honest about what I type.

$1699 is not cheap. It could be a lot cheaper if they decided to have this made in China with cheap parts that will fail in a few years just like the Chinese scooters that break down months after you get them. So Kudo's for it being made in the USA. It is VERY well made. This is going to last a long time for sure.

Im not the targeted demographic for this scooter but I still like it and think its worth every penny. Do I wish it was $500, sure. I also wish I could buy a Lambo for the same price as a Kia. You get what you pay for. I have this as something to have fun on at the beach and around the neighborhood.

PROS ---

Very well made

Great design. ( its clear a lot went into this design, its a simple motion to open and close this. )

Comfortable ride. ( I thought this would be REALLY bumpy with these small wheels, BUT with the spring under the seat its surprisingly comfortable  you don't feel the bumps )

Compact and convenient. ( very small foot print, can take it anywhere. )

Ill add more later Im sure.

CONS ---

It has 3 lights for the battery indicator. Full -  Half - Empty  ( I wish it had a more detailed battery indicator as I drive a mile or 2 away from my house and when its getting close to empty ( from previous use ) I have no idea how much longer I have and will I make it back home )

I won't lie I do wish it was less expensive, however I still think its worth it and probably a lot more worth it to anyone using this as their last mile commute.

***Note. I was not part of the fund raising for this and I was not offered any discount for my review. I saw it on Amazon Launchpad as I love new toys.

I am amazed at some reviews that appear on these pages.  A previous reviewer claims to have spotted numerous and repeated errors in this book.  If he knew that much before he read it why was he/she bothering? Plainly he had the measure of the exam already? Of course the review is virtually once again anonymous, I wonder why? The simple fact is that the claimed errors do not exist in such quantity although like in any technical book I have read there are some.  I can only conclude that once again by awarding one star and a few pithy remarks there is a clear effort to dump on a good book for reasons other than reality.  Don't be had, you can't do better at the price.  Five stars.

I read all the reviews. It is curious that the negative reviews are all candid, clearly written by a buyer who had a poor experience, whereas the positive reviews sound like  PR firm wrote them, are mostly about 'give it time' and the machine will work for you. Who thinks like that? I believe the positives may be false reviews.

This is basically a balancing review.  A product should not be rated negatively unless you've actually used it. Since a couple of people unscrupulously decided to give this item 1 star based on nothing more than their outside opinion, I've decided to give it 5 stars based on mine.  I can certainly see this hitch being useful in several situations, particularly with older vehicles that don't have back-up cameras and when you want to easily access the cargo area of some SUVs.  A product review should be based on the item's ability to deliver on its promises, not the opinion of someone who has never used it.  Feel free to disregard my review, but you should also disregard the two stupid and ridiculous 1 star reviews.  If you do that, this is a 5 star product.

I am not here to review the book but to review the reviews so to speak as some of the reviews here seem personally motivated and/or are from admitted competitors.

Most who read the reviews are intelligent enough to see through this and discard some of them as agenda driven. It would seem the greater effort made to disparage the book and the author and the more time spent on building or promoting their "qualifications" in doing so the more personal the reasons.

My considered advice is to read through all the reviews and look for those that are not agenda driven or personally motivated then make your buying decision based on those.

As I am reviewing the reviews and not the book, and to remain neutral I gave the book four stars which is it's current average at the time of this posting.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

If it's such a great item, why all the fake reviews?  Sad that you have so little confidence in your product.  But then I guess if we stopped all being so gullible you wouldn't bother anymore.

I have not read the book yet, but I can save you some time in looking at other "reviews".

I have read all of the to date 5 1-Star reviews and the other 1 3-Star review.
They are not reviews, and I have complained to Amazon.

I hope this will save you some time, but if you doubt me, go ahead and read them yourself.

Great so far, but I just got it so I don't know how it will be long term.  Which is the problem.  They're giving away free replacement filters for "insightful reviews", and the reviewers probably notice nothing wrong with writing a review right away even though longevity is an issue.  Many of the reviews here have been bribed, so you can't trust the rating.  Try another product with more honest ratings before you gamble on bribed ratings.

Even putting aside longevity, there are cheaper systems with better ppm readings.  Will they last long enough to be worth it?  Dunno, read the reviews and check for fakes.  But the one thing I know is that you really can't trust the reviews on this one so it's right out.

Take a close look at the reviews for this book, and the reviewers who write them.

There has been a lot of author/"corporate literature machine"-bashing throughout these reviews (many of them are blistering, yet critically meritorious). I think what happened with this novel is simple: it got everybody's hopes up, and was read too immediately by too many people harboring way too much expectation.
  What readers need to remember is, this novel was written by a guy in his EARLY TWENTIES. Take a moment to think about that.
  JSF takes a lot of risks with narrative, style, etc., and yes, most of them don't payoff, it's true--but some of them do. The author, Foer, entreats us to something that few writers (few artists for that matter) have the courage to nowadays. It's called DARING. This novel ATTEMPTS uniqueness. Instead of labeling Foer a fraud, we should all be wondering at the sheer *#@*ing magnificence his fourth or fifth novels might contain, 10 or 12 years from now.
  Readers like myself who waited a year or so after its release to explore 'Everything is Illuminated' have benefited. For those who still haven't checked it out, a little advice. If you buy the paperback version, tear the front and back covers off the book and trash them as soon as you leave the store. If you buy the hardcover, do so with the jacket. Don't read the reviews. Be as flexible as you can regarding realism and historical facts. Skip around. Try your best to appreciate the pages for what they are.

TruthSeeker is right.  So many reviews from people who have only posted one review ever - looks like fake reviews.

If you are reading this you are probably not worthy of owning one. Typical purchasers of these products don't care what others think. They favor products they only have to buy once. In a lifetime.
