Do you trust customer reviews on products?

Question

Most people do read reviews before they buy something, but do you think the reviews are trustworthy? For example, http://www.buzzillions.com aggregates reviews from all over the web, would you trust these reviews to know which vacuum cleaner or new fridge etc. to buy?

Answer 1

I used to be a butcher and I had a lot of reviws on the meat I sold.But what I have find out is not all is true.But now days go no your friends.

Answer 2

You can get a pretty good idea from the reviews on Amazon.  You just have to filter the blatant self-promotion and the anal types who freak when the delivery box is the wrong color.

Answer 3

You have to be discrimintating and use several sources.  For instance, if I was buying a camcorder, I would check professional as well as user reviews (Amazon, Cnet, Consumer Reports, Target, etc).
