I was just on Amazon.com searching for a good foot spa at a reasonable price. I found one for $17.99, by: Dr. Scholls. I was curious to know why he was able to sell it so much cheaper than the others, so I read a few of the 27 reviews. Then I happened upon a video demonstration. At first it was promising, then he turned the massage part on high and he even admitted that it sounded like a vacuum cleaner. My first thought was, oh, that's not so bad. But then I found myself navigating away from the page to search some more. I hate loud noises. I just recently purchased a new vacuum cleaner and I need to wear ear covers to run it. I am so glad that someone came up with the idea of video reviews. Have you ever taken advantage of this new feature, how was your experience with it? coding=UTF8&coliid=&showViewpoints=1&colid=&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending

I have never used video reviews. I did not even know of such a thing.

It is an excellent way to get a good idea of what you are buying, before purchasing it.

I hvae read some of the reviews when shopping online. I haven't checked out any video ones yet. I can see where it would be helpful specially with something electrical. Reading reviews have influenced my decision whether to buy something or not. I have done some shopping on KBToys.com, things I saw looked god, the price was good. then I read the reviews and decided not to buy the item.

Reviews are such a blessing online. Lately, I have purchased some things without reading the reviews and I regret it, so I am trying to remember to stay in the habit of reading/watching a review before making a purchase.
