I don't understand all the good reviews for this product

I don't understand all the good reviews for this product. The brushes for acrylic do not hold a point and it's impossible to paint any details with accuracy. They split and are no better than kids brushes from the craft store. The water color brushes are sloppy and the hairs fall out. I'm disappointed with this purchase.

thought i paid a bargain price, because of the 50% off pricing with the good reviews on the product.
but, it turns out, the product is not all it was cracked up to be.
i really don't see too much differnce in quality of the sound or the convenience for the money that i paid for.
my recommendation, just get a decent regular, or, even sticking with the original ear phone that comes with most of the product that requires earphone(i-pod, mp3 players, or computers...), you are not missing anything.
bottom lime, it's not worth the money to pay too much money for a set of high end in-ear phone.

I read the reviews for this product before I purchased it.  It worked great for the first 10 oranges, then it started going forward and reversing very quickly, like it was stuck or something.  I let it rest and tried it again, I got 4 oranges done before it started that back and forth craziness.  Anyway, this is not a good product for someone who would use it all the time.  It is okay for occasional citrus juicing.

I just do not see why people think this is such a good product.  We can have thunderstorms all around us and all this thing does is sit there  -- LISTENING.

We had a SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING the other day and it showed NO STRIKES even though I personally witnessed several nearby

I would return this item if the window were still open.

I'm pretty amazed at all the high reviews for this product. I don't think these are that great. I can't trust reviews as much anymore.

They kind of suck. Like, they sound cheap. I have a pair of sportapros that sound WAY better can cost less than these. You can feel the music and hear all the highnotes clearly.

I'm just going to save up and buy a pair of bose headphones next time.

It turns out this product isn't as good as I initially thought, and for this reason: the longer one uses it, the less practical it is. Specifically, it is difficult to turn the knob and open a can. Seems the gears are not sharp enough or else wear out quickly over time, and I hardly ever use it because I don't have too many cans to open. I have been unable to sharpen the main wheel that cuts into the can, and, therefore, what good is a product of this magnitude and cost if the blade can't be sharpened or improved? I think the product developer needs to have another think on this can opener, and suggest a better and longer-lasting metal component for the part that opens the can.

I was excited to see so many good reviews for this product, in my mind I was going : "can ~1000 people saying it's a good product be all wrong ?"
Sadly the answer for me is "yes" - it sounded horrible , it felt cheap and I did not like the sound.
Shipping it back.

I expected/wanted this product to live up to the moderate 'hype' that I had seen generated towards it (this is only because I had looked at the company's evaluations/commercials for the product as well as several video reviews online.)  Sadly it does not seem to meet my expectations.  The device itself is somewhat bulky and difficult to work with in small areas.  This would not be such a big deal but the whole purpose of the product was to make working in such areas easier. The point was to avoid the tedious task of manually closing the wrench with one hand while holding it in place with the other, all the while in a very confining space.  Black and Decker cleverly eliminated this problem by making the device too bulky to even fit into such a restricted space.  If you have enough room to use this 'automatically adjusting wrench' then you probably have enough room to fit your other hand to the swivel and manually adjust it.

However, it is a neat and sturdy item that helps make a two hand task a one hand task. Just don't expect to use it on those spaces that a regular wrench is tough to fit in.

My Personal Disclaimer: My opinions may be tainted by the manner in which I received this product. I ordered it as a Christmas present with plenty of time to arrive; it never did.  I then contacted Amazon and the supplier in reference to my order and they told me that they had none in stock (some information that should have been supplied to me during the ordering process).  They told me that they would ship one as soon as they received their next shipment.  That time came and went and I received no notice from the supplier. After contacting them again I was told that the shipment they had received was damaged.  I requested a shipping upgrade as I was told the product would be here by Christmas and it was already well into January; I did not even get a reply, much less any sort of compensation or upgrade.  When the product did finally arrive, it was in obviously insufficient packaging (large padded envelope) and the internal product packaging was mangled and falling apart.  I would not order from the Amazon seller 'acehardwareoutlet' again.

I bought this can opener after seeing a friends side cut can opener. I do a lot of DIY things around the house and can teach myself how to do something without instructions, however, with this product, I was only able to get it to work properly on 2 cans. All other times I have tried to use it, it just won't cut properly. Even with it set and locked in place properly it will cut in some areas and then just stop cutting, while still spinning the can around. The reviews of other side cutters on Amazon are spotty, and when I purchased this, there were only 12 reviews, but all decent. There are now over 100 reviews and most of them still decent. With that said, I'm going to assume I received a defective product and I'll be going back to a generic top cutter for now.

I feel that a lot of people are giving this product a favorable rating simply because it's matcha. Yes, this is matcha. Yes, matcha is amazing. However, when comparing this product to other brands of matcha, you'll find this undeserving of its current 4-5 star rating. For the price this is a reasonable product, but there is better matcha for the same price. It's for that reason that I don't recommend this product.

Most of these reviews are either fake or forced reviews. This isn't that great of a product. You have to turn it on and off manually via a switch every time you want it to work. Also, it is a pretty loud fan, even on low setting.

I read the some of reviews and some said it is not worth the money. They were right. Then again for the price, you know what they say
"you get what you pay for". Maybe the one I got was defective, but it had no tension to it and would not hold anything.
My advice, spend more and get a product that works.

I read all the reviews and found two common sentiments: 1 - people love it, 2 - in some cases, it was reported to not be very effective. I took the risk and purchased the 300w version to use in my 55gal tank. I can confirm that it is very weak and sometimes cannot maintain 72 degrees overnight in my main family room (2nd floor). Room temperature never goes lower than 16 degrees. I wanted to love this product, but I don't think I can recommend it, nor do I think I will repurchase it at a later date.

I got 3 of these to give to my boys, after I tried them out I just can not understand why people are giving such good reviews!
The focus lever is VERY stiff, I need one hand to hold the unit and one hand to operate the lever, maybe over time it will
become less stiff? They say it is 8x25 its more like 4x25, maybe CHINA rates things different then we do...lol
Its absolutely no good at all in low light conditions.
I guess this thing is ok for grandma to look out her window at a bird in the yard on a sunny day, but if you are a hunter and need
more then I would advise you to keep looking, Iam sure there is better out there for around the same price.
If this actually performed like a 8x25 instead of 4x25 I would have gave it a higher rating.

I think I bought too much into all the great reviews. It really isn't that special. In fact it kind of annoys me. My biggest problem is that if you put brushes in the holes to hold them unless you put in just the right size they will fall through when you try to move the tub. Also it makes it hard to put clean water in if you have a bunch of brushes sticking out around it. And if I am just going to use it to rinse brushes and not hold them then I can use any container. I don't know, it's not bad, but it's not great either.

I have mixed feelings about this product.  I have had it now for about a month.  The problem with it is you must have a very specific set of circumstances for it to work well.  And some of those are unknown until you actually have it in your house.  First of all, if you can actually get a picture, it is of very good quality for this type of product.  You will probably be happy if your TV is in the same room with your receiver.  You will only have one problem, which I will explain later.  If your signal will have to travel through walls and/or ceilings, good luck!  It's a crap shoot.  I tried connecting with my receiver and transmitter in the basement, in 2 separate rooms, going through one wall.  The signal was so bad no matter what I did, it was unwatchable.  So on a hunch, I tried putting the transmitter directly above the TV I wanted to watch, but TWO FLOORS UP on the second level.  Went through 2 ceilings.  By golly, it worked!  Picture was good.  Now, the bad.  If you don't watch the connected TV regularly, you will have to physically go to the unit and press the reset button, sometimes on the receiver AND the transmitter.  So, for example, I wanted to watch the receiving TV yesterday.  I had to run upstairs, press the button on the transmitter, then run back downstairs, press the button on the receiver, then it worked.  Yes, the units automatically turn themselves off after a period of non-use (not sure what this time is).  So, if you are willing to put up with all of this and you are lucky enough to have placement conditions that will provide a picture, you will be ok with the Nyrius.  This is the second unit of this product type I own.  The other is the X-10.  Easier to use, never have to reset, but picture quality not as good.

I'm not sure how this product gets the great reviews it does. In theory it's a good idea, but in reality it's downright frustrating to use. First, it's a little big on my son's head and it's a "one size" product. He just turned 4 and he's always had a larger than average head- something worth noting. He is often complaining that it won't stop slipping down over his eyes. We only use this product in the car and it's obviously neither safe not convenient to have to help him get it back up on his forehead. Secondly, there's no way to make the earbuds stay put. Every time he takes it off they shift, and then I have to try to guess where they fit on his head before handing it back to him from the front passenger seat. If they're not right over the ears you honestly can't hear anything coming out of them. I could probably adjust it on him after I've buckled him into his seat and before I get up front, but because it slips I don't even know if this would help. I'm currently looking for another product. Not sorry I tried these, but they're not what we need.
