Don't believe the bad reviews!

I am so glad I bought this DVD, I almost didn't buy it because of a couple of bad reviews. This is NOT hard to follow and it really was a great "burn". I loved it because it flew by and I cant wait to do the 55 minute workout tomorrow!

I can't understand the negative reviews. I was skeptical but needed to fill this order as inexpensively as I could. I purchased this feeling that I would no doubt have to replace it soon after purchasing. But, at this price I considered it "disposable" and didn't worry to much.

Without going into unnecessary details, my unit takes fearsome abuse. It is regularly checked against two analogue standards and is working much better than expected! It has never failed to deliver rock solid performance on all four channels. Given all four probes are identical, each reading from the same location is the same (given the units stated tolerances)

It could be that quality control is lacking, that I got a lucky break and the others maybe more unlucky. However, I now have need for a second unit and will be purchasing another. We'll see how I do.

Edit:

Second unit purchased. In use for six months, perfect just like the first. Keep in mind, the second unit was purchased more than a year after the first. If there were a quality control problem, odds are good I would have seen a problem with one of the two units. This leads to me believe the negative reviews on this item are not be taken seriously.

Almost didn't purchased because of all the bad reviews!!! So glad I did!!! It's exactly what I thought! It had more red then expected but because the other reviews said it wasn't red at all!! Fits perfectly in my bathroom!!

When I bought this, I was definitely very skeptical about it. After reading so many mixed reviews on this and the other variations of this (swimming shark, clownfish, etc) I didn't know what to think. However, I decided to go for it. At around $9, what do I have to lose?

I had a Prime trial at the time so delivery was lightening fast - at my house, for free, in 2 days!

When it arrived, I actually couldn't use it right away because I was saving it for a Christmas gift (for my brother, so I got to play with it too :P). After Christmas, we took it down to Food Lion to get it filled with helium. I didn't know what to expect here, either... Some people paid $10, some paid $5, and so on. But I only had to pay 79 cents! Food Lion does any size balloon for 79 cents! But when the old lady is filling up your balloon, be careful - DO NOT let her tie a string to it! The string is unnecesary because of the auto-sealing valve on the back of the balloon. The lady unfortunately tied one to mine before I could stop her, and when I tried to cut it off, I accidentally popped the ballon. (I ordered a new one, so let's pick up on the store here with the new one.)

We took it home and began the assembly process. It wasn't too difficult; you've just got to be careful with the fragile parts (and make sure you don't let the balloon float up to the ceiling while you're putting it together!). Assembly took maybe 15-20 minutes total - not bad at all.

Next up - FLIGHT! The bird will hover in the air wherever you put it before you begin flying, due to the helium's pull force and the weight of the clay on the track (used to balance the bird to a hovering point). After that, you can use the controller to let her go! It was pretty easy to get adjusted to the controls, especially since an "auto-fly" feature is built in. The auto-fly will automatically flap the bird's tail to get it to move forward so you can concentrate on steering it and changing the elevation.

Surprisingly, the bird actually flies pretty well. It goes forward at a decent speed (not too fast) so it's suitable for indoor use without the fear of running into a lamp or something. Steering it is easy too, and it works nicely. The bird is incredible and extremely entreating to watch while it's flying around. It's unexpectedly graceful :P

Overall, this is an awesome toy for both my brother (9 years old) and myself (nearly 16 years old), and even my mom and dad (36 and 43 years old) loved it! I would give this 5 stars if not for the fragile parts and the learning curve it takes to go from a regular R/C helicopter to a flying bird. Other than that, I love this Air Swimmer!

I found these sheets for a great price but due to a few negative reviews, I almost did not buy them. But I took the chance and I am so glad I did, these are by far the best sheets I have ever bought. Right out of the package, I could tell how soft they were and even after I washed them and put them on the bed, they are still soft and luxurious. If you are doubting whether to buy these just because a few people wrote negative reviews, do your homework and try to price a similar set. I paid $30.29 for a king set and I could not find anything with this quality for less than $200.

I was afraid to buy this, based on so many bad reviews here and on other websites. I bought it from Amazon, but it was actually sold and shipped by Wayfair. It arrived a day earlier than promised and with only one little tear in the box, which later revealed no damage to the parts inside. I was quite concerned about getting it to the playroom upstairs, as my husband said 2 men struggled to get it off the truck, up our walk, and into our foyer.

A few days later my son and I tackled the box. It was well packaged, and the whole top came off, which was great, as the table itself would have been too heavy to slide out. Once we removed the top of the box, we found the pool table felt board lifted up and revealed all the other parts packed inside. JACKPOT! Once we removed the parts and carried those upstairs, the table itself was easy enough for my 13 year old and I to manage.

After reading the reviews I was afraid of putting it together. The only "non-pre-drilled" holes problem I encountered was on the pool table side where you put the plastic bumpers on. 3 of them screwed in easily, and the other 3 I ended up hammering the screws in. Problem solved.

Although the directions say it takes 2 adults to put it together, the only thing I needed another for was to lift the table onto the stand. Other than that, I would say an average-ly mechanical person could put it together in about 4 or 5 hours. (I spread that over 2 days). I was missing 2 screws and 1 washer, but was able to make do without them. And sometimes the directions told you the right things to do and sometimes it was the pictures, so just be patient and use both.

Some reviews said the air hockey fan wasn't strong enough. We haven't had that issue.

All in all, I would recommend this. I only gave it the 4 stars instead of 5 because of the 3 missing fasteners and the few missing holes.

Ok so despite all the negative reviews on this product, I thought I would give it a whirl, glad I took a chance.  My daughter thinks it is so fun!  Some of the ingredient boxs are cheap cardboard that lasted about 3 minutes, but that wasn't the main allure of this product anyhow.  She had been "baking" the cupcakes since we put it together.  It isn't the highest quality toy I have ever bought but it was 20 bucks and the shipping was free with Prime. I have bought much more disappointing things for 20.00 and I didn't see any "poor craftmanship" or "flimsy" pieces that some reviews had mentioned. All and all I don't regret the buy and would recommend this to anyone.

Really was hesitant to buy due to so many bad reviews but did it anyway and was really pleased with this purchase. I have it installed in an 45 foot RV and it really looks good and sounds great. I do agree with the posts that are not happy with remote or FM station storage but everything else is great. I use the MP3 plug a lot and has been working great with no failures. I would not hesitate to buy another one if this one fails in the future and the price is right for what you get. Also very easy to hook up speakers also. Great deal!!

I'm honestly surprised to see so many negative reviews of this wonderful novel. I admit it took me while to get INTO the story but after I did, I couldn't get out of it! It's briliantly written and all the characters are intriguing.
I got my copy from the library but I'll be buying my own soon!

I have to say I am very surprised to read the bad reviews of this album. I buy lots of CDs, lots and lots of them, and this is one of the very best I have bought lately. This album rocks and moves from the beginning until the end. There is no bad song on here. I have to wonder what people were wanting or expecting from it. Are they taking the title too literally and expecting a boring album with Flo Rida talking about the bad things of "overcoming the struggle" instead of realizing that maybe he is speaking of another "route to overcoming the struggle?" There are after all different routes available. I expect that more good reviews will come in as more people hear it. I for one highly recommend it. I have listened to it all the way through several times now and I expect to listen to it several more times.  That is not true of many of the CDs I have in my large collection of various types of music.  Also while the song "Right Round" is a takeoff of the old song by Dead or Alive I don't think the two need to be compared. They are different songs and if you want the Dead or Alive song, then go buy the Dead or Alive CD. Hey, I have it. Don't buy Flo Rida so you can make a comparison where there is none. The main thing I have learned from the reviews of this album so far is to not depend on these reviews for my purchases of CDs in the future.

After reading the negative reviews I bought a pair of these pajamas with some trepidation.  Now I've had them for over 6 months, I think the negative reviewers must have gotten a bad batch.  I have washed and machine dried my pair once a week with no shrinking or color fading, or any of the other problems some have reported.  It's a great buy!

Even though I'm a huge Anker fan, I was somewhat skeptical of getting one because of the many bad reviews on this product. I decided to give it a shot since Anker has not failed once yet and I was not disappointed. My unit worked perfectly with all 5 ports working in High Speed.

I've seen some of the issues others have and maybe they have voltage issues on their cars which cause it. My car is brand new so Voltage levels are peak and it works A++. If you're thinking about getting this, buy it. You won't be disappointed.

After seeing some of the other reviews which rank it low, I can only imagine they had a bad batch. Mine works flawlessly, aquires a GPS signal within about 1-2 minutes, and I have no problems with magnetic interferance.  In terms of battery life, I've used it for about an average of an hour over 5 different nights and I am still on my first set of batteries (regular AA Alkalines).  The product is well made, sturdy, and has a solid feel.

My 9 year old daughter has invented a new verb "skyscouting", and we have been "skyscouting" almost every night we've had clear skies and learning more about the night sky more quickly than ever before!  She loves the "Identify" mode and enjoys targetting stars.  I especially like the constellation image feature and Tonight's Highlights.  I did notice that the audio and text descriptions differ slightly so listen/look at both.

I'm leaving a review because I read all the other reviews after I had bought this, and I got so scared that my table would be broken or fall apart or be made poorly.
So I received my table... ITS NOTHING LIKE THE REVIEWERS SAID. my table was not broken or chipped or scratched at all. It was in excellent condition. No parts were missing, and the instructions were included and clear to read. The table is sturdy. And people who said "it fell apart when you sat on it, or it's not for heavy people," are idiots. I feel like half of the people leaving bad reviews just REALLY suck at putting stuff together. Or they plop on their furniture.
It's a good table for a small family, and it's worth the buy! Don't listen to the lazy complainers that say other wise.

Well, I had this coffee maker for a couple weeks now and I have to say that most of the reviews I have seen on here are simply RIDICULOUS!  A little common sense goes a LONG way people! Don't let user inabilities keep you from buying this coffee maker!

Hard to fill reservoir?? How much room you need to pour the water? The area is huge!
Using the tank to fill, you simply pour out the water using the corner and BAM, easily done!

I haven't noticed any 'plastic' taste.

No leaks.

Brews really quiet compared to other makers I've had.

Coffee is nice and hot and the warmer doesn't appear to burn coffee either.

I will update if any of the 'mentioned problems by others' surface, but as of right now I love this thing and its SO nice not having to deal with a carafe!
