question about fakespot.com

[esquared]

So my dentist recommended I buy a Waterpik.
I checked into Amazon and I found this one with nearly 12K reviews.
https://www.amazon.com/Waterpik-Accepted-WP-660-Aquarius-Flosser/dp/B00HFQQ0VU?th=1

On the same page, I scrolled down there was a Chinese version (H2ofloss.com) of a Waterpik for less than half the price, and 3K reviews
https://www.amazon.com/H2ofloss-Capacity-Multifunctional-Countertop-Irrigator/dp/B010NNIZQE

I plugged each product into fakespot to see what they thought of the reviews.
To my surprise, the Chinese Waterpik knockoff was given an A for +90% high quality reviews.

The waterpik was given an F rating for 86% low quality reviews.

Now this company H20floos, had another waterpik-type product:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010NPLDPW/?

Fakespot gave a C rating with 35% low quality reviews on this. But Fakespot said the ratings were quite old so it asked if i wanted it analyzed again.
I clicked yes and it reanalyzed, then gave it a A with +90% high quality ratings.
https://www.fakespot.com/product/h2...pose-cellphone-size-oral-irrigatorhf-3premium

The re-analysis said this:
Our engine has detected that Amazon has altered and removed reviews from this listing. We approximate total reviews removed to be 436.
Previous analysis of this listing was an C grade

So essentially it says that nearly 1/2 of the reviews were removed by Amazon and it now has an A rating.

Do you guys really trust fakespot?

I would tend to agree with you on that 5K Amazon requirement but fakespot is saying 9976 (11,600 x 86%), reviews are suspect.
And this is from a company that's been in business for 56 years.

fakespot doesn't work so well anymore ever since Amazon's "crack down" on incentivized/free-item reviews. Those sellers just found ways to get around it and and fake reviews seem to be more abundant than ever.

Why was the waterpik advised in the first place?
