I always read the reveiws. And not just on the Q site either. I scan the web for the same product & read the reviews.

I also check out the reviews on YouTube. One video is worth a thousand words.

A review can be a opinion, so I look for similarities. I recently considered buying the Phone Soap item Laurie Granier sells. I think I'm going to pass for now although most of the poor reviews seemed like operator error. I'll stick with my microfiber cloth with a light shot of Windex with ammonia.

I'm not real handy or coordinated. If that many people can't operate it, maybe I can't either. On the other hand, I purchased the Power Perch Shelf, even though the reviews were not very favorable. I could tell the people posting had higher expectations than me. I still use it and like it. I've had it a year.

I look at recent reviews. If there are 5 or 6 reviews that mention the same issue, I likely won't buy.

I'm really glad this subject came up.

Just an hour or so ago, I was checking out reviews for a Fly London shoe

I really like. I noticed only a couple of reviews with a poor average.

My complaint: one of the few reviews was from someone who wanted the shoe

in a size 12 which was not available. No purchase had been

made, but the review was poor.

What I wish: The moderators would cancel reviews that clearly have nothing to do

with evaluating an item purchased and tried out!!!

Excellent advice, I once read a poor review on a dress because the woman's husband didn't like it..

I read reviews obsessively. Although never of books. I think so many are petty and cruel. But on the Q site, yes, all the time. I find the majority do make valid points worth considering when evaluating a potential purchase. I read the reviews starting with the ones that give the lowest ratings. And you know what? They often dissuade me from purchasing, which is a good thing! And I haven't returned anything to QVC in years, which is also a good thing. I've been happy with my purchases, clothing included, and I think the reviews have been helpful in determining which products will work for me.

Yes, I read the reviews. I like the ones that are specific, and include relevant info. A review that says, "I love this!!" is absolutely no help at all, and I wonder why people even bother.

I find the reviews on QVC laughable. Too big - too small.Fabulous quality - cheap etc etc.Before I buy I look at them for anything consistantly bad but usually I really take them with a grain of salt.

I do not read the reviews but I do sometimes write them. I like to try an item for myself and if it is defective I know that I can return it at no charge.
