Fakespot Reviews in June 2026: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

What Went Wrong, Fakespot?

Fakespot used to be a pretty reliable way to spot products with fake reviews. But in the last 6-12 months, something has gone wrong. I see F ratings for very legitimate products with reviews that appear sincere and well-written. And some scammers seem to have found ways to fool Fakespot into accepting their bogus reviews as real. I don't know what went wrong, but when a Netgear Router that is an "Editor's Choice" on PC World gets an "F" while a poorly made Ivy cap gets a "B" something is ...

Americas Test Kitchen has never let me…

Americas Test Kitchen has never let me down with their recommendations for various kitchen appliances. The highest rated inexpensive blender as of this review is the Kitchenaid 5 speed Diamond. On Amazon there are 1884 reviews averaging 4 stars. Fakespot gave it an F and I find that hard to believe. There have been other lots of other items that I researched and found to be highly recommended that Fakespot gave a D or F. I think Fakespot is faker than the Amazon reviews. I'm deleting the app.

FAKE is the right description...

Amateur algorithm, completely inaccurate and no one at the company to speak with if you have a concern. Total nonsense.

Seems OK to me

I own a restaurant and a bed & breakfast which between them have well over one thousand reviews on TripAdvisor. We have never arranged for a false review and our rating by Fakespot for both properties is "A" This rating I know for a fact is entirely accurate and leads me to believe that the review ratings on Amazon might be similar and I have made all my purchases there with a heavy reliance on the Fakespot ratings.

It is not accurate at all!

I love fakespot

I love fakespot. I am an avid reader and have spend more money on books that I DID NOT ENJOY because of all the fabricated review. I'm aware of how authors swap reviews considering there are groups on facebook meant for just that. Plus you have fan girls who don't think of hard working readers who will be spending their hard earned money on these books. I'll admit, even with bad review, I sometimes one-click. But, I do like the option to do so. When a book has nothing but 4-5 star review, ...
