Amazon reviews are becoming useless. I see so many now that say "I was given the product to try in return for my honest review". Mmm hmmm, honest review. At least it's being stated in the review. But I'm seeing this all over the place now, even on mundane stuff like nutritional supplements. Really, the best one can do is just look at the aggregate review score of all the of the reviews for a given product, and hope you know someone IRL who has experience with it. For a 10 dollar travel mug, who cares, but for a TV or a bike, it's hard to find "real" reviews...
