Do you wait to see what other people think of a product before trying it out yourself?

I rarely buy anything without at least one review. EF sends products to reviewers prior to releasing them for sale - so the wait isn't too bad.

My favorite things to buy are vibrators and the way to know the vroom rating is to read the reviews. By reading many reviews I have found several reviewers who I trust to review the strength of the vibrations in a vibe accurately. And I note those reviewers who over rate the strength of the vibrations. I wish that there was a way to have a more standardized power rating! Since rating is subjective I do like to get get more than one opinion.

If the item is expensive I'll wait on a review, but usually an item having no reviews doesn't deter me from purchasing it.

I usually wait to read a few reviews, but occasionally I will pick something without reviews or even buy something without looking at any existing reviews. It just depends on the product, price, and my mood at the moment.

I'm not afraid to buy a new product if I'm interested, even if there are no reviews. However, I don't necessarily write reviews on everything either.

If it is really expensive, yes. Otherwise, it doesn't matter as much, but I definitely look at existing reviews.

It really depends on the item, its similarity to one I have tried and how much I want it!!

It depends. If I'm iffy on it, I'll read a couple reviews, but most of the time I just take the chance and hope it's good.

For us it depends a lot on the price. If it's under $50 we might take a chance, but for anything over $50 we usually wait for some reviews before buying.

I'm usually good at doing my homework for a product which includes reading several reviews - I pay particular attention the reviews by the people I follow

I generally want to read several reviews before making a purchase, but sometimes if I really want the product, I'll go ahead and buy it even without any reviews.

I sincerely value good and helpful reviews on EF. I am willing to wait for them, especially on high priced items. It is a feature that makes EF the only place I shop now.

We used to do that, but got burned. We wait for reviews now. One of the best features of EF.

Most of the time I will go ahead and buy it if I think I'll really like it. If it is high priced or I can't make up my mind then I'll wish list it and wait for reviews.

Based on previous experiences I've had with products that I did no research on before buying, I definitely make sure to read reviews now.

I voted for a few of these. It absolutely depends. I sometimes wait, but sometimes I just want the item now now now!!

Most of the time I just go and get an item. There is one item I wanted and read each review and have all the alerts for it. But I still haven't gotten it yet. I'm on the fence. But I think I'm going to take the chance and get it.

I would go ahead and get it if I'm really interested in it. =] It depends on the price too.

Not anymore. I've noticed that my reaction to products are usually the complete opposite of everyone else.
