Buzzillions is the place to go to for the “Buzz” on “zillions” of products by compiling product reviews from real people just like you. Ok, maybe they only have 3,667, 981 reviews (and the number is going up every few seconds). This would be the perfect website to visit for doing research before any purchase. If you typically read the reviews on Amazon.com and are curious why Buzzillions is better, click on that link and read further. Basically their goal is to be an unbiased hub for product reviews (and they aren’t selling the products unlike Amazon.com).
What does Buzzillions want to give away on Freebies 4 Mom? Two lucky readers will win $25 CASH. I will be mailing that cash prize to you in the form of a money order for you to use on whatever you want.

A. Searched for Video camera. Going on vacation and would like to bring something small.B. Reviews were pretty good. Although I really didn’t see too many negatives.C. Too much stuff floating on the first page. Otherwise, it was good.D. Mary: maryshomesforyou@
A. I searched for Black and Decker Waffle so I could compare two different styles of Waffle irons.B. Yes the reviews were definately helpful and I have decided that either product will work well for me.C. Showing some similar products would be nice. I know there are other brands that offer the waffle combos and are more expensive but it would be nice to easily comparison shop.D. Katie Kat_Merle@
A. Green MachineB. yesC. When I typed in Green Machine, the first items that popped up were for Green Mountain Coffee items. I had to click on the Toys, Games, and Hobbies link in order to get the correct Green Machine toy items. It wasn’t difficult to find, but since I was specific about Green Machine I thought that items with the Green Machine name in them would come up first.D. April bioteachr2000@
A. stand mixerB. yesC. not sure if I would change anything, I like how you can search by price and brandD. Rachel-rhmaine
I searched for a digitial camera. A lot came up. I liked to reviews, it gave a lot of helpful information for me. I don’t think there is anything really that could be changed to make it better. I liked it as it was!Tabitha tabicat21@
searched for xbox 360well up comes 3 different consoles at the top of the results page, the elite, the silver and the plain old xbox 360. Reviews are great to have for consumers, I use them all of the time before purchases. From big screens to home entertainment systemthe one thing I would change is the compare feature, if it’s going to return results that confuse the hell out of ya, just leave it off. I compared the three different elite, silver, and regular xbox360, now these are essentially the exact same consoles, just different accessories, and the comparison was telling me the regular xbox360 outperforms the elite and silver in graphics, # of games available and speed when in actuality I know these should be equal amongst the three choicesRon Millerbarracudaron@
A) I searched for Power Wheels Harley DavidsonB) I thought the reviews were very helpful & set up very nicely. It gave me more info than I've seen on other sites I've searched.C) The thing I would change is to be able to figure out where to purchase the item easier. I had to search the page to figure out where the review came from.D) My name is Amie & my email is amiebarnes@
1. I searched “Nikon Digital Camera”2. Yes, the product reviews were helpful.3. The think I would change would be to actually have HAD the Nikon Digital cameras come up first when I searched. I had to scroll through several Nikon accessories before I got to an actual camera.4. My name is Amie and the beginning of my email is copperflats
A. I searched for a white noise machine to drown out the whistling sound (tea kettle style) my gas boiler furnace now makes in the middle of the night! B. Yes, I now know which one to buy and which ones NOT to buy!C. I sorted for top-ranked items first and it didn’t put them all in the correct order. That should be fixed.D. Melinda msmith220
1. I searched WII games.2. Feedback and comments helped me make a solid decision.3. The site was easy to get around. No changes.4. Jo-Ann,jjpelle@
1. I searched for the Swiffer Wet Jet. 2. I did find the reviews helpful. There were about 15 different reviews, so a lot of good comments to read.3. I think their search engine should be changed a little bit. It seems like it doesn’t always put the most relevant searches towards the top.4. Christy; cdneff
I searched for USA Map. I want to get a simple map for my grandaughter. I was suprised when Park Tool USA and National Geographic….were the first two items to show. Suggestion: I would have it hit on USA Map or Map USA for the first couple of listings. All of the reviews are very helpful. First name: Naomi First part of e-mail: Naomilove0413@ This is a great site to search on anything you are looking for. I will add Buzzillions to my favorites.
A. I searched for the Nikon S550 – it’s a camera that I’ve been considering, amongst othersB. Sort of – everyone had something good and bad to say about it, but it was so varied that it seems like it was a godsend for some and just okay for others. It just reaffirmed my suspicions that I’m just going to have to take the plunge, get a camera, and see how I like it. After all, it’s not like the store will let me just test-drive the camera for a week and take it back…C. I would have liked to see a couple of “professional” reviews from other sites. It’s lovely that they had 75 reviews, but it was a bit taxing to read them all, not to mention everyone had a different use and expectations of it. It’d be nice to read a review from a neutral party that just compared it to other things on the market. Obviously a person who’s used to shooting with an SLR is going to rate the camera lower than someone who’s only previously used a disposable. D. First name: Rita @ My Precious Pennies. Email address: mypreciouspennies
I searched for Lexmark All In One Printer. I found all of the reviews helpfull. I know which I want to buy when I can afford it now! There was a Compare box, but no Compare place to link together like some other sites have. Some pages took a while to load.Susanspicelife2002
A. What product did you search for? Sunshine Kids Radian 80 car seatB. Did you find the product reviews you read useful? yesC. How would you change Buzzillions to make it more user-friendly?

A. I searched for the Fisher Price Learning Kitchen.B. Yes, the reviews were helpful.C. When I typed “Fisher Price Learning Kitchen,” several listings with multiple reviews came up. It was confusing, I wasn’t sure which one to click on. They need to have some sort of way to standardize naming.D. My first name is Erin and first section of email is erinscolburn. Thank you!
I searched for the new Apple Macbook. As the site did not have it, I looked at one of the previous macbook models, in the black color. The customer reviews were very useful, seeing that I’ve heard negative comments in the past,but after seeing the raves and majority good reviews, I have put my approval on the product. To make the website even more resourceful, I suggest that the website show or list popular items on the homepage, or maybe just items that have gotten great (and plenty of) reviews. It would be interesting to determine the most popular products. Debbie quillingdebra@
A. I searched for magic jack.B. They did not have a review of the product.C. I would have more products reviewed to make it more user friendly.D. Cher (fun.mom.cher)
I searched for Blackout Curtains. The reviews were helpful, but I didn’t find the specific curtains I was looking for. I would change it so you could search by certain stores. My name is Aubrey and my email is byubabe14.
I searched for the game jam pack jam. The reviews were helpful. It is always nice to know what others think of a product before you spend your money on it. To improve the site…When I put in jam pack jam it pulled up everything that had any of those words in the title. When you put in more words the search should be more limited. My name is Stephanie and email is kyleesmom74@. Thanks.

I searched for baby swings, we have been looking for something new because ours eats batteries. The reviews were nice because for the products I was looking for, there were a lot of different reviews, instead of just one or two. I just did a pretty quick search, so I didn’t really find anything that I didn’t like. Melodymelodymarie33
A. I searched for the xbox360B. I found the reviews very helpful. My kids want this for Christmas and I do not know much about game systems, so the reviews were quite helpful.C.

I searched for GPS’s. I want to give one to my son and one to my fiancee for Christmas. The reviews were exellent, as I know nothing about these gadgets, lol. I thought the site was very user-friendly, especially the side-by-side comparison, so I would not change anything. Thanks so much!! Karen, icunursemicki
A. I searched for the Drinkwell Pet FountainB. Yes Very Usefull..Lots of reviews on this product!!C. I really Don’t Think I would change anything. It worked very well for the products I looked for and even gave me similar products to compare…LOVE IT!!D. My Name is Christi Email Beginns Christimichele@
I went to Buzzillions and searched ski boots. I am looking to buy a pair and found the reviews useful. I am not all that familiar with boots so I would suggest adding a category dividing the reviews by boots for beginner, intermediate or advanced skiers. I saw some of the reviewers comment on the level that they would recommend for the particular boot, but it would be helpful to narrow a search by level initially.My name is Susan and the beginning to my email is iheartpinkandgreen@

What a great site!! I am so glad to bookmark it for a resource in the future. I searched for Hasbro Tinker Toys as it is a product I am going to be purchasing this christmas. I thought the search was really easy and informative. The reviews reinforced my reasoning for wanting to purchase the toy in the first place and the information in each review showing where the review came from and the price of the product at that store helped me narrow down where I can expect to recieve the best pricing.The ONLY change I would make would be to possibly add some sort of search filter that would allow you to possibly sort in terms of price or location or date of review. Other than that I LOVED the site.My name is Jenn and my email begins with JLWalden1.Thanks for sharing this great site and for the opportunity to win!!
A. digital camerasB. yes, quite usefullC. chnage the printing settings – I though I was printing a couple of pages and got dozensD. Vera: vssturm@…

A. What product did you search for? Hamilton Food ProcessorB. Did you find the product reviews you read useful? Yes and thought it was assuring to hear first hand from users C. How would you change Buzzillions to make it more user-friendly? I feel the site looks a tad bit cluttered and certain portions to be highlit like the segment headers on the left…everything just seems to merge into each other and the huge ad in the middle should find its place to the sideD. What is your first name and the beginning of your email addressMarina…email id starts with pme

I searched for the MacBook Air. Found a few reviews that made me change my mind about the product. I then searched for MacBook Pro. Several reviews, both good and bad. I decided on the MacBook Pro.

Thank you. Jerrie (rogersg56)

Hi Heather – I searched for “carpet stain remover” and thought the reviews were helpful. But I would absolutely consolidate the reviews, there were multiple results for the same product, which was confusing and made the reviews much less helpful than they could have been since I wasn’t sure if they were by the same person, etc.Cathy @ cfoblog

A. Nikon D300B. The site was very informative. In fact, almost too informative. There were 717 reviews for the D300! Whew, that is a lot of reading material! However, I am very picky when it comes to products, so it was nice to be able to view so much info.(though I didn’t get through all the 717 comments!)C.The site was very informative. However,the Home page was too busy. The font was hard to read and my eyes had no main focus to draw their attention to. Instead, I almost felt dizzy looking at it!C. Emily (emilyschuster)
A) I searched for computerized brother sewing machines. B) Absolutely. Several of the reviews were very detailed and professional. C) I’d start out with a pros and cons list so that viewers could see which reviews, and consequently which products, will offer the most useful info D)Heather, princessyoda
A. I chose Nina Riccis new scent Nina as my product selection. I boughtit for my daughter for the holidays, she fell in love with thefragrance after I sent a ‘free’ sample to her dorm.B. I thought the reviews were expressive and helpful because theyreflected the feelings of the women that were wearing the perfume. Itreassured me that I made an appropriate choice for my college agedaughter, having not sampled it myself.C. Although I thought the site was very easy to navigate, it may havebeen easier on the eyes to have the subjects in an alphebeticaltoolbar. The site is very busy with loads of small print and could befelt as overwhelming to some, the toolbar may provide a little space.D. My first name is Karen and my e-mail begins with Chimato4.
A. What product did you search for? Ipod Nano 3rd genB. Did you find the product reviews you read useful? AbsolutelyC. How would you change Buzzillions to make it more user-friendly? Add an “Advance Search” option.D. Stacy (schott24)
Searched for a cuisinart blender. The comments were pretty general about this item and did not really help me make up my mind about purchasing. This site was easy to use would’t change anything. Elsie dixiefree1
1. Aldi’s Breakfast Nook2. I couldn’t find any exact matches only other breakfast nooks.3. I have used this site before and found it to be helpful and user friendly, although do think others have a point with the spelling/auto correct issue.4. Jennifer (jenniferhumiston)
A. I searched for two–the Fisher Price Papasan Swing and a Canon Powershot 7d750 digital cameraB. I thought the reviews were great. This site is just what I am always looking for–reviews from people who own and use the products.C. I would like it if there was a way to narrow down the search. If I just searched for digital cameras I would like the brands to come up or a certain price range, etc.D. Michelle; chellelee7
A. What product did you search for? Elmo Live DollB. Did you find the product reviews you read useful? Yes! Most people admitted that it is a pricey toy, however they thought it was so fun that it was worth the cost. One negative comment is making me think very carefully about the purchase though. She said it clicks when it talks.C. How would you change Buzzillions to make it more user-friendly? There were several entries for the same Elmo Live Doll. I had to go to each one to find all of the comments. The first entry had 21 comments, the second had 3 comments that the third had 1 comment.D. What is your first name and the beginning of your email address Heather, hozzma@. . .
A. I searched for a portable DVD Player for the car for my busy 2 year old. It was great to see all the DVD players, reviews and where I could purchase them all in one spot. B. The reviews were helpful, but I wished they gave more information rather than just saying “I love it” or “It was great” C. Buzzillions could add more details or bullet points about the productD. Eileen, emholloman
Thanks for the great giveaway!A. I searched for See Kai Run shoes.B. Yes, I found the reviews very helpful. Two things in particular I wanted to know, besides the usual sizing/comfort issues, were about if the soles wear easily (our cheap Target shoes wore out within 2 months) and if they make feet smell, both addressed by reviewers!C. To make Buzzillions more user-friendly, I would suggest adding links to more stores, like Amazon as well as some mom-run sites. I especially think it would be nice for the items to link to the official sites of the products that have been reviewed. It would not be difficult to ask for that in a review form.(FisherPrice.com, SeeKaiRun.com, etc.)D. My first name is allison and my e-mail is allisonredd
Hi, Love the blog. I tried Buzzillions this afternoon. I searched for ‘nativity’. I was specifically looking for something unique for a friend who collects nativities. I found the Fisher Price Little People Nativity and enjoyed reading the reviews. She’s a grandma too, so it looks like thats a good one for this Christmas. I don’t know IF I would change anything, its a pretty good site. Beth email: beander7
ajmorris11 is the beginning of my email, my name is Amanda.I am fascinated. I didn’t imagine they could cover such a broad range… I searched for the Chicco Trevi Twin stroller and was shocked when it popped up with 26 reviews. My favorite part was that each review gave you a mini bio on the person giving it (ie mother of one, first time mother, etc…). Can’t think of much they could improve except sassing up the website a little. Giving a few more graphics like yours now has. Font was small when review came up and the pages were busy in general..
Thanks for introducing me to this site, Heather. I hope it improves with time. It’s a great concept. This giveaway is such a great way to get feedback on the site! Here’s my answers to the questions….A. Sanyo Katana (cell phone)B. The reviews were slightly useful, but there were only 5 and they didn’t say very much about the characteristics of the phone. I liked how they summarized the pros, cons, and best uses.C. I would like a more detailed description of the products good (and bad) features. People say they like something, but WHY? Why do I want this one vs. another one.D. Kathleen (Kate)
A. What product did you search for? baby cribsB. Did you find the product reviews you read useful? yesC. How would you change Buzzillions to make it more user-friendly? I think the search feature could be improved.D. What is your first name and the beginning of your email addressMel mathbook28
1) I searched for the VTech VSmile Baby Infant Development System. 2) Yes, the reviews I read were helpful to find out some of the opinions of the system. 3) I think it would be helpful to have the search box give suggestions for you in finding what you are looking for 4) Erica piglet96_98@
A. Searched Bike TrailerB. Reviews were very useful and helped me select best quality/price product – Schwinn Mark III Bike TrailerC.

Okay here we go:1. Searched for Nintendo Wii2. Reviews were great, found out that rechargable batteries should be used in the remotes, and there were a TON of reviews!3. I think that since I typed in Wii, maybe they should somehow know when that is searched for, to bring up another category with options to choose from like consoles, games, remotes, nunchucks, other and choose from that list to get a more detailed listing for the exact Wii thing you want to see and then maybe show the top rated games in different age categories or the last 5 items in each category reviewed!4.

1. Searched for mens blue hoodie. My husband wants one so I’ve been looking elsewhere. I didn’t expect to find something so generic so it was a pleasant surprise.2. I really like the one line reviews so that I can quickly scan and make quick decision about the item I would like to look at more closely.3. I did other searches and the price was not always in the review. Need that. It would be nice to know other sources to buy items with links. Not sure what the flags on the right of the review indicted…best review? best item? best search terms matched? That could be explained on the little flag itself.4.

a. Playskool bounce back remote control carb. yes – there were a lot to read through!c. Maybe link to things that are similar – if the Playskool got bad reviews, I would like to see one that got good reviews. There are similar things on the side, but not for the RC car – it was jsut for plain cars. Not what I was looking for.d. cindy cinfy101803
A. Toddler bedB. I thought the reviews were very useful, and honestly have no complaint about Buzzillions. The search box was clearly visible and easy to see. I like how you can search by most reviewed or priced low to high in the search box above the items for view. Buzillions also has a nice pop up box with a view of the product a little larger for easier faster searching. It even has a compare box to help make choices easier.C. There is not to much i can find to complain about. A way to improve would be by adding more reviewed merchandise for people to review!D. Bridget partiesbybridget@
A. What product did you search for? 2008 Chevrolet Malibu SedansB. Did you find the product reviews you read useful? yesC. How would you change Buzzillions to make it more user-friendly?

1 I searched for the Graco Quattro Tour Duo2 It wasn’t thereso I tried again with a more general search1 breast pump2 I found the product reviews were in depth and informative…although they were all so positive that I wondered if it was a representative sample3 I found it easy to navigate and use – no suggestions other than perhaps giving me the highest and lowest scored reviews on the first page so I don’t have to search for any negative reviews4 Michelle…michelletoot
I searched for Elmo LiveI thought the product reviews were useful and I like that the overview of all reviews is at the top.We just received this toy and I really wanted to write a comment about it, but after waiting for over an hour for the confirmation email I am writing to say that I think signing up for an account takes too much effort.

Hi Heather! 1) I searched for Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor on Buzzillions as we are having trouble conceiving (it’s been over a year of trying). 2) What I found useful about the reviews section was the first few words of some reviews were listed before I even clicked on them. They seemed very impartial. 3) What could be improved, however, is that I spelled ‘fertility’ wrong the first time in the search field and it came up with Nikon cameras and digital thermostats for me to look at! A ‘did you mean _________’ like Google does for mispellings would be great. 4) Kelly (reporterkc)Have a great day!
