Whether you're shopping for electronics, cosmetics, clothing, or something else, more and more women are turning to product reviews to help in their purchasing decisions. Some are looking up reviews before heading to the store, while others are looking up reviews while already in the store!

I agree with most.. but sometimes, depending, on the product, I will just weigh the pros and cons myself.
I'm slowly working my way into paying attention to these. I used to never care.
I completely agree with these results. I ALWAYS look at reviews before making large purchases. So important!
I don't trust my instincts and have no mechanical knowledge so I am one of the 96% that checks product reviews before making a major purchase of an appliance, lawnmower, etc.
I agree with the above results but I feel like most women look at reviews and then make their own decisions. Reviews help but are probably not the final deciding factors for most women.
Agree! I typically research things before purchasing & reading the reviews is a part of that process for me.
Some of those numbers seem very high. I disagree with the percentages. I agree with the concepts.
I agree with pretty much all of them!
I completely agree with all of these.
I like to read reviews as well.
I agree with consulting product reviews before purchase, I rarely purchase anything without at least reading reviews on it.
I mostly agree, but I tend to listen to friends/family more so that reviewers. I want to really know the person actually used the product/service.
I'm surprised that so many people trust reviews on blogs. I don't trust/believe them because I feel like the blogger has been paid to write the review and therefore it's biased. I would trust a friend's review on a social network much more or the review of someone I don't know on Amazon, etc
Yes, I check out product reviews and the ultimate decision is based on that along with research.
I agree with all of it, I always research whatever I am buying and there are times I will stay away from a product if the product has consistently negative reviews.
