An ad that showed up as I was browsing through the news. Bloody ridiculous…

    My strategy is to skim the 1-2 star reviews to see if they have any legitimate complaints or if its just personal bullshit.

      Extra fun when the reviews are for some other product.

      Product: A sock

      Review; 4/5 this didn’t come with batteries like the description said it would, but the motor works great for my model car.

      Yeah like “flashlight is pretty bright but the switch quit after 2 months” and if I see several reviews talling about failed switches I kmow what’s up. A good product will have a 1 star review talking about “flashlight tastes terrible and hurt my teeth.”

        “USB Battery is very large, but takes very long to charge all the way.” on a battery that supports both USB-Micro and USB-C Fast Charging.

            Could be any number of things from the charger not being USB-C PD to the sun overheating your phone and causing the safeties to stop or slow down the charging. I haven’t actually found a car charger with a buckboost converter in it to provide higher voltages even when the circuit board is available online for hobby projects.

        “SENT ME TO ER, and denied return. I don’t know why guys enjoy flashlights so much for “playtime”, but this one ain’t it, had to go to er when gf got a little too rough with it.”

      Awesome product, but delivery took too long so now I can’t gift it to my kid for his birthday. 1 star.
