    3 Analysis. reviews: how to distinguish truth from advertising

    Reviews on Ozon are a key tool for checking the quality of a refrigerator. However, up to 30% of them can be custom-made or irrelevant. Here's how to filter the information:

    What to look for in reviews:

    • 📸 Photos/videos from customers: check if the real one matches. color, sizes and equipment with a description.
    • 🔊 Mentions of noise: if several people complain about the hum of the compressor, this is not an accident.
    • ❄️ Comments about the freezer: some models do not maintain temperature well below -18°C.
    • 🛠️ Stories about warranty repairs: if there are a lot of complaints about breakdowns in the first year, this is an alarming sign.

    Red flags:

    • ⚠️ Reviews with the same writing style (for example, everything is “you” or with template phrases like “super product, I recommend it to everyone”).
    • ⚠️ A sharp surge in positive reviews in 1-2 days (possibly custom-made).
    • ⚠️ No negative reviews for the new model (suspicious for technology).

    How to check the authenticity of the review?

    Click on the name of the review author → "All reviews". If a person left only positive reviews on different products in one day, there is a high probability that this is a “cheat.”
