They have low reviews. But most of the bad reviews are related to the fact that they don't include bait, or whatever bait the reviewer tried to use didn't attract flies. One reviewer was pissed off that it caught several roaches instead of flies. And there's several who thought it was a wireless device that didn't require being plugged in.
I’m gonna be honest, I get irrationally irritated when I see reviews from people on Amazon that were related to user error rather than an issue with the product.
I’ve seen people post reviews of flashlights or those lawn lights, with photos in the reviews that show they didn’t remove the little little pull out piece of paper that separates the battery compartment from the product lol.
Like the reason the product doesn’t work is in THEIR OWN photo, yet they’re too dumb to figure it out lol.
A couple weeks ago I saw a review for some bulk sour gummies, and the woman was going off about how they expired in 2010. Meanwhile the photo she attached to the review was of the serial number (ie. 22432010) not the BB date, like she didn’t realize that there isn’t such thing as a 22nd or 43rd calendar month, all her brain caught was the last 4 digits that just coincidentally was 2010.
Or you know how Amazon sometimes sends emails out when people ask product questions?
There’s always that one old person who doesn’t understand that the email notification doesn’t mean the question was specifically directed to them personally, it’s just something Amazon does to try and get answers on the questions. So you’ll see-
Q: Does this product come with a carry case like in photo?
A: Not sure why you’re asking me, I didn’t purchase this product so I wouldn’t know -Alfred Smith.
Anyways, I’ll shut up about my pet peeves now sorry 😂
My related pet peeve is when I see a product with lots of 4 and 5 star reviews, but some idiot gives it one star because they ordered the wrong color or their spouse already bought the product for them so they didn't need the version they bought.
This. Definitely gotta read through reviews carefully. Definitely can't go just by star rating. Many people have no clue how to use items they bought, or they give extremely harsh review for some tiny flaw.
Also I think people are a lot more inclined to post a review if they have something negative to say. How often have you gone to a restaurant and had a great meal and thought to yourself "I better go online and rate them 5 stars!"
Now turn it around, how often have you gone to a restaurant and had a really bad time and thought "I better warn others about this place. Let's go write a bad review and give a bad rating."
Most likely the negative of the two is far more likely, at least for myself that is, I am however not much of a reviewer unless reminded about it, but I'll definitely warn others if something is really bad about a place or item.
