I do occasionally read product reviews while shopping online because I think they are actually helpful in figuring out if a product worth the price and if I'm getting good value for my dollars, reviews will tell you the pros, and cons, so yeah I read em. How about you fellow shoppers do you take time to read product reviews when you shop?

yes, all the time. i usually go to reviewstream and read those reviews. i read reviews as people tell you weaknesses about the product not told in the descriptions. i find the descriptions to be misleading as anyone can make those cliams. its a different situation when you actually read about the real situation about product.

I do read those consumer reviews once in a while. To get to know a certain product I am looking for is actually worth the price they listed. I just don't want to waste my money on some products that is not live up to its reputation, so, that is really important to me though. So, sit down and look through those reviews, and you might have a clear image of what you are getting into.

really depends on what I am shopping for my mom used to do it and I would generally follow her lead, but I'm more of an impulse buyer...

No. I really should though because I should know the quality of the product that I'm about to purchase

I have started to read product reviews more and more. I mean, you know how it is when you don't have much money. You want to make sure that you're not spending money on something that will turn out to be defective. I'm getting ready to find some product reviews of ZQuiet. I'm hoping people like it, because if it turns out it works, I'll try to buy one. It's expensive, but way less money than getting a mouth piece made by a dentist. All of the regular mouthpieces sold don't work for me, but the ZQuiet will hopefully do what the dentist's prodcut was supposed to. Only for way less money.

Sometimes I read reviews, but often I find that my opinion might be a little different than what is being said about a certain product or clothing product. It's all a matter of personal preference. My daughters like jeans that fit at the hips..while I prefer to have them come up higher....because I don't like my muffin top hanging over the top of my jeans! It's all subjective!

I almost always read online product reviews. Sometimes if it's an item that I am not spending much on then I may not read the reviews. If I'm spending anything over $20 then I most definitely will. I like to know whether or not I'm about to purchase a piece of junk. There have been multiple times that I have talked myself right out of an item because the reviews were awful.

If I'll buy online I sometimes do. I think it is very time consuming if I have to read all the reviews of a certain item, so it depends on what shall i buy and how important is it. If I really needed to , I have to.

I so especially if it is a high priced ticket item as sometimes the item seems great with the sites description. Then I will search the net to find, thank God I did not already purchase as it was a piece of junk. There have been times that I have seen an item in the store and wait until I get to research the item online as this way I am sure it is well worth it.

Yes. Seeing as some websites will steal other website's photos and match them with their lesser-quality product, it is always a good idea to read the reviews.
