What is an Amazon review checker?
A second look at a product’s reviews, before you trust its star rating.
Some star ratings are pushed up by paid or copied reviews, or by reviews of a different product. From the page alone you can’t tell.
A review checker reads the reviews Amazon shows, points out the ones that look odd, and shows you the rating without them.

Quiet on sleep mode and fast on smoke. The filter light stays on after a reset, though.

Even better than my old Max 300, and the filter is cheaper.

Frequently asked questions
How do you check if Amazon reviews are fake?
Look at all the reviews together, not one at a time. Warning signs are many reviews in a few days, the same words from different people, lots of reviews from people Amazon can’t confirm bought it, and reviews of a different product. The checker looks for each one and shows the reviews behind it.
How accurate is a review checker?
No checker can prove a review is fake, this one included. It finds patterns common in paid reviews, but each can have an innocent cause, like a launch sale or a product going viral. Text that sounds AI-written isn't proof either. The report says how strong each sign is and how many reviews it rests on, so treat it as a reason to look closer, not a ruling.
What does “the rating from reviews that hold up” mean?
It is the star rating worked out again using only the reviews that showed no warning signs. A big gap between that and the rating on Amazon means the odd reviews are doing a lot of the work.
How many reviews does it read?
The reviews Amazon shows for the listing. That can be fewer than its total ratings, because many ratings have no written review. The report says how many it read and from which dates. When there are only a few, it says there are too few to judge.
What happened to Fakespot?
Fakespot, the best-known review checker, shut down in July 2025, and Firefox's Review Checker went with it. This does the same job: it reads the reviews Amazon shows, sets the odd ones aside and shows you the rating without them.
Is it illegal to post fake reviews?
In the US, yes. Since October 2024 the FTC can fine businesses that write, buy or sell fake reviews, including ones made up with AI. Amazon removes fake reviews too, and can suspend the seller's account.
