I cannot describe how frustrating it is to get a completely counterfeit product off amazon or to have to carefully comb through reviews to make sure a previously great product hasn't been replaced with an inferior one differing from the description and photos - and I doubt I have to, since it happens to everyone who uses amazon regularly now. I too am feeling fed up, and it's getting to the point where it's now convenient enough to just drive to the store since at least that way I know I'm getting what I pay for and not something literally different from what's depicted.
Case in point, I was looking for a motorcycle trickle charger and was pleased to find the same battery tender I remember my father using on Amazon[0]. However, a cursory look at the reviews shows it has been redesigned and is different and less reliable than the product in the photos and descriptions, and is available online for cheaper with the same shipping. The solution? I drove to walmart and bought the trickle charger I remember my dad having because it was on the shelf there.
