Reviews on kidney puncher website screened

[Ben Armstrong]

I ordered from Kidney Puncher. Delivery was quick and I received everything. One of the RBA I received was an AGA-T7 Kayfun clone. I used it and noticed issues with it, so I wrote a review and gave it two stars, upon submitting it said the review was under review. About 2-3 hours later I did a review on the Russian 91% which I really liked and gave it 5 stars. Again it said review was under review. Well I went back a few hours later to see if my reviews had posted yet and what I discovered was my 5 star review was posted, but the 2 star was not. The AGA-T7 still (two day laters) has only 3 reviews (each was either 4 or 5 stars).

So long story short Kidney Puncher looks at all reviews and appears to only post the ones that are favorable. I looked around the site a little bit and did not find one thing that had lower than 4 stars overall rating and I did find one 3 star rated review.

I am trying to get the word out so people realize not to trust the websites review ratings. As far as delivery and getting what I ordered like I said no problem there.

I know they received my review because i received an email from someone that works there, suggesting that the issues i was having were my fault. Well they weren't, this thing leaks like a sieve, build deck IMO is designed wrong and the air flow is so tight it cant be adjusted by hand (had to use a jewelers screwdriver like a wedge to adjust. I think people should understand that about the device before paying $40 on it. I went to the site because PBasardo has it as a link on his "taste your juice" website. Makes me trust PBasardo a little less after seeing how this company manipulates reviews.

Innovape does the same thing. I don't post reviews anymore on websites, no point.

You can figure that out pretty quick at any given web site.

You have some places like Mt. Baker where they don't censor anything, so the reviews are kinda "raw." That doesn't necessarily give you better input either as a one star rating that only says "This flavor tastes like crap" doesn't provide any meaningful information either. Positive or negative you need to read between the lines to see who knows what they are talking about anyway.

But the places that only post 5 star reviews? Yeah, makes you want to run to several other places that have more genuine info to know what's what about a product.

A way round it is to give the review a 5 star rating and then do a truthful write-up. I do it all the time and as yet no-one has picked up the discrepancy. Goes to show that a lot of web sites don't even read the write-up, they just look at the 'score'.
