The 5-star reviews and 1-star reviews are almost the same amount. Should I get this? Counterfeit? I'd like to see what the responses are.

It works for me. It does tend to get hot, but I just use it as my backup at work.

Hard to explain. Maybe there are different products from different sellers. Mine have all been fine.

I believe you are correct. The positive reviews are junk, all extremely similar with the 'talking points', many end with the same "In conclusion..", all the same length - poor job by the company in faking this makes me think the product is shady. I will not be ordering now.

Has the counterfeit/knockoff issue been resolved? I too received one in this condition but didn't think much of it until I read this and the buttons started losing their luster. Would like to re-order for genuine if the issue has been resolved. Thank you.

One way to tell if a review is fake, is if it says amazon verified purchase on it. If they at least purchased the product from Amazon it is less likely to be a fake. Another way to tell is by reading them, most of the fake reviews are the sorts you would hear on the infomercials. Like, This product is great, i have tried many weight loss supplements with no effect. But once i tried "product" i just couldn't believe the difference. They usually talk about how this is the only product for them, and try to discourage you from buying other products. Or just plain and simple leave a simple review not explaining their experience with the product, and just claiming it works. People get paid to leave fake reviews, so just because they have prior reviews doesn't always mean they are real reviews. Maybe the previous ones were fake as well. Or maybe they were a previous member who shopped on amazon and now is doing fake reviews for companies. All of those are possibilities. So just pay close attention to the reviews, check to see if they are verified purchases, and if they sound too good to be true. Usually your gut instincts will kick in and tell you that a review is fake.

The one I ordered on here is legitimate. My fianc loved it, read the review prior to purchase, that may help. &#128522;

No, and with a product that has nearly as many 1 star ratings as 4 star, I would think long and hard about it before buying. This is the link to my review..

I have the same opinion of other buyers. If it is a copy or not, bottomline I have achieved excellent results using these products. No regrets!!!

I think it is very important to know this. I have lately received products that were seconds. I probably would have bought them anyway because they were defective in ways that I was willing to accept for the lower price, but there are other defects or substitutions that are not acceptable. Certainly fake or counterfeit products are not acceptable. This is important information to share in order make sellers responsible for their wares --whether or not the deception is intentional.

If you are paying less then full price you are more than likely going to receive a bogus copy. Mine was scratched and 50% off with no indication it was a bootleg. Good luck.

I have also read those reviews. The details to determine if it is counterfeit or not lay in the details of the writing on the body and materials in the prop assembly. The Syma I received proved not to be counterfeit. I don't know if they all are legitimate, but I know for sure the one I received absolutely was. I hope this helps!

This makes me suspicious that they are fake reviews.When a product has so many positive reviews like this and they are simple reviews, 99% of the time if not 100% they are faked.

No. my received item is not genuine and official product. i think, it is one of imitaions. If you have a plan to buy this item, i'm completely opposed to do it. Thanks.

Hi, you may be looking at an OEM version or a counterfeit version, which is very likely with an unusually low price like that.

I, too, bought it based on the rave reviews. Add me to the list of those who question the veracity of many of them. For such a simple product, it's one of the most disappointing purchases I've made. I can't see it scoring so high. It wouldn't surprise me if many of the 5 star reviews are fake. All I know is I would never, ever, buy it again.

I have no answer for this, but took a look at the products that a lot of the 5 star reviewers reviewed. It appears as if a lot of them reviewed the same supplements, books, wire hangers, and LED lights. Smells like paid reviewers to me. The likelihood that all of those people happened to purchase and love all of the same products is almost impossible.

The Clarasonic that I purchased was unopened, in original packaging and verified as real? I read the reviews regarding counterfeits which made me very reluctant to make a purchase. I decided to make the purchase and as soon as I received it, I immediately contacted Clarasonic to register my Mia2 and spoke to thenm about counterfeit units. they went thru a series of identifier for counterfeit units. i gave them the serial numbers and they registered it with no problem. My sister also purchased a Mia 2 and had no problem registering her Mia2.

No no, I'm sure all these people just happened to buy the exact same chalk board paper, rubber bracelets, spiral cutter, diet supplements, and swimming cap. Right. To anyone not in the know, there are companies out there that issue a refund in exchange for 5 star ratings, and that looks like the case for nearly all 5 star reviews here (in other words, people leave good reviews to get stuff for free).
