Amazon is flooded with products. Often duplicates with fake reviews.

How can someone actually find a quality item and know that's what it is on Amazon?

Exactly - these days you can’t tell:

- what’s actually going to be in the box

- how soon is it going to break after you open said box

- is the thing so cheaply made it’s going to give you cancer

Agreed, its really time to start buying reputable brands again. Or perhaps go to a shop and dont complain about retail markups. :)
