I think that these results are pretty accurate and even if someone just looks at reviews for an overall positive or negative outlook on the specific product rather than in depth, review by review reading, they are still referring to product reviews.. because sometimes I just look for an overall "do most people like it or dislike it?" And sometimes I look more intp detail and read each individual review.
I agree! I also trust what others say when they have reviewed verified purchases
I definitely look at reviews. And I think I can weed out the ones that are just posting for a free/discounted item, etc. Not that those aren't legit, but some people will write only positive or even without actually trying the product.
Yes, I agree! I look at product reviews to determine if product is right for me.
They can be helpful, absolutely! Although you have to take it with a grain of salt. You know what they say "Different strokes for different folks.
Yes, I agree. I look up reviews when I am searching for things.
I agree mostly. I trust reviews even when I do not know the person.
I definitely read reviews, but only really go to blogs for makeup, etc. I might check out videos for electronics. I don't really see my friends post reviews unless I ask for recommendations.
I agree with most.. but sometimes, depending, on the product, I will just weigh the pros and cons myself.
I'm slowly working my way into paying attention to these. I used to never care.
I completely agree with these results. I ALWAYS look at reviews before making large purchases. So important!
I don't trust my instincts and have no mechanical knowledge so I am one of the 96% that checks product reviews before making a major purchase of an appliance, lawnmower, etc.
I agree with the above results but I feel like most women look at reviews and then make their own decisions. Reviews help but are probably not the final deciding factors for most women.
Agree! I typically research things before purchasing & reading the reviews is a part of that process for me.
Some of those numbers seem very high. I disagree with the percentages. I agree with the concepts.
