I too see these comments as honest reviews of gadgets that haven't worked as expected. When I commented on one that had not worked for me, several members gave me suggestions of ways I might could make it work. If it had worked after I tried their suggestions, I would have been so happy. But it didn't. Also those of us who named a gadget that didn't work, we explained what we had expected it to do and all the steps we took to make it work for us. As Onalee said, when several people have had the same experience, good or bad, we can better judge whether we want to take a chance on it or not.
