After Using the Products and Providing Feedback, Consumers Nationwide Select Top Products in Hundreds of Categories
Buzzillions.com (www.Buzzillions.com), the most comprehensive customer reviews site on the Web, today announces the winners of the 2010 Buzzillions Reviewers' Choice™ Awards. The Buzzillions Reviewers' Choice™ Awards, which are now in their second year, are based on ratings, reviews and real life feedback from consumers who have purchased and extensively used the product. Buzzillions Reviewers' Choice™ Awards are given to "Best Overall" and "Best by User Personality." User Personality awards are based on reviews from people with similar interests and product criteria (e.g. first time parents or budget shoppers).
This year's big winners include well known consumer brands such as: Canon, Step2, Logitech, The North Face, New Balance and UGG, each receiving over a dozen awards. Several smaller brands, such as LUSH, Joovy, Calphalon and Tom's of Maine also received many awards, showing that consumers rely on product quality over brand name.
"We are thrilled that consumers can look to the Reviewers' Choice™ Awards to provide the valuable feedback they need to help them choose the products that fit their lifestyles," said Jim Morris, GM of Buzzillions. "In its second year, this award recognizes outstanding products judged by the everyday consumer, making the Reviewers' Choice™ Awards one of the most unique honors in the industry."
Buzzillions Reviewers' Choice™ Awards are determined via an extensive survey calculation process. Buzzillions sends out hundreds of thousands of surveys per day to people who are verified to have purchased a product. Products in each category are then ranked using a special algorithm that incorporates star ratings, number of reviews and the reliability of the reviewers (reviews by "Verified Buyers" are given more weight). The #1-ranked product is recognized as the "Reviewers' Choice Winner" and the 2nd through 5th ranked products are recognized as "Reviewers' Choice Finalists." Awards by "User Personality" are determined using the same algorithm, but are based on feedback from the reviewers who specifically identified themselves with that user personality group.
