Dear Amazon,
[this late-night blog post brought to you by a blown transformer that took out power to my neighborhood for three hours tonight…]
There’s one thing you could add to your web site that would vastly increase my shopping satisfaction: a checkbox to exclude randomly-named Chinese knockoff products with obviously phony 5-star reviews.
Here are the “brands” of the top-rated (“4 Stars & Up”, with Prime!) handheld vacuum cleaners. In order:
- KITHELP
- MOOSOO
- HOKEKI
- Onshowy
- Holife
- Homasy
- WELIKERA
- Kimitech
- Kimitech
- GOOVI
- Dibea
- NOVETE
- Cofuture
- PHYSEN
- MECO
- ONSON
- VacLife
- LOZAYI
- Hikeren
- Dibea
- Holife
- NOVETE
- AUELEK
- Aiskki
- Kimitech
- zswell
- EMHFLYFN
- TopWolf
- Bissell
- Shark
- Shark
- (16”x13” Emoticon Drawstring Backpack 12-Pack)
- Janker
- Silipower
- VacLife
- DataVac
- NOVETE
- Shark
- Nayamo
- FUJIWAY
Seriously, the first actual recognizable brand you might find in a store other than Walmart was #29! Sure, they’re pretty much all made in the same three Chinese factories with different labels and quality-control standards, but I can’t even pronounce “EMHFLYFN”, much less get support or service from them.
To add insult to injury, take a good look at “Amazon’s Choice” box for the actual most-popular, best-selling product in this category:
