Default Product Reviews

How important are product reviews when you are due to make a purchase?

I love a good read through reviews about stuff I'm interested in and tbh they do sway my decision a lot of the time

Also do you ever post reviews about stuff you've bought?

Very important, I always read through the reviews. I only ever review anything if it's really good or really bad

if there is a consistent number of reviews saying that something is crap, i will move on and look for an alternative. I've only ever left 1 review and that was because i was super happy with what i purchased

I don't leave reviews, but I do like to read them.

On Amazon for example I'll be happy if a product gets 3 stars because you'd be surprised at how many products on Amazon can't achieve that score.

same as Mock


we got a online store called Bol here, very good quality products this one has, also very diverse in what you can buy there and gets delivered to you via delivery service (usually PostNL here, or DHL depending on what distribution centre it is from)



i usually look at between 3 and 5 star reviews, since if something gets crap reviews i do not even think twice about buying it, although some games do not receive reviews or star ratings and i then decide on buying if i know it myself or not

Yeah, I look at the reviews on sites like Amazon. I bought an item once in a DIY shop and it was faulty and then when you look at the reviews of the same thing on Amazon they all complained of the same fault.

I knew someone who got washing machines , fridge/freezers and tons of other stuff by doing reviews so you do have to be wary.

Some reviews are useful others are nonsense. If you're buying anything "techy" it's always worth having a look through for someone who knows what they're talking about and is giving a balanced review.

You'll get a lot of "IT DOZNT WORK!!" from people who didn't know how to use it, and likewise, a lot of "It is the best thing ever super great" from people who don't really know what they're looking at.
