Amazon reviews

Product buyer feedback

Amazon reviews are user-submitted ratings and written assessments of products sold on Amazon's marketplace.

They range from thoughtful evaluations to barely coherent rants, and their authenticity varies—some are genuine, others paid or incentivized.

Shoppers rely on them while remaining skeptical: I always check the one-star Amazon reviews first.

The phrase sometimes describes any online review culture where quality is inconsistent.
