Onlinetrends: consumer
perception
Positive feedback on products mainly focuses on effectiveness, reasonable price
andease ofuse.
Negative feedback is usually about high prices, defectiveness, bad smell, and
differing fromthe product’s pictures/introduction.
It’s a necessary product in bathroom, convenient, clean and
healthy, price is the same with offline stores’ products,
delivery guy directly sent to my home.
Much cheaper than supermarket, kitchen will be very clean
after using it
Wiped mirror by using the product, totally clean, very easy to
be clean.
It’s different with the one on the picture, I seriously think it’s
fake
The product doesn’t work well, suggest not to but it, it
doesn’t work at all.
The product is not good at all, can’t wipe off dirt by using it,
and it’s so expensive, it’s not worth the price.
