No. I deployed my crack team of monkeys to run wild over my keyboard.
Here is a little primer on variations on Amazon. Most of it might seem obvious or self understood, but perhaps someone will find it useful. The reason Amazon combines reviews on variations of a product is simple: Let's say you are selling a T shirt in 5 different colors and 5 different sizes. There is no difference in the product itself, and so all product reviews should be lumped together. If you click on green XL, why should you not see my review from the black XXL shirt?But this doesn't apply to all types of products, like your router. So what Amazon did was change the way variations work based on the category. Some categories aren't allowed them at all, some show you the same info for all of the variations and some change the details for each variation when you click on each one, but still keep them linked. In the T shirt example, whether you click on the green or the black, you will see the title "Stooges Staggered Stages Tee", but with the routers, every model gets a different title. However, in both cases you will see all the reviews for all the variations. So to answer your question, they shouldn't combine the reviews, because if the products are not exactly the same they should be listed separately, not as variations. But as always, sellers will try exploit every facet of selling on Amazon to their advantage. Variations are a big opportunity. Not just because of the reviews, but because of the ranking. Every product has a rank based on how well it sells. So if you sold 1,000 green T shirts but only 20 black ones, the green shirt will have an amazing ranking, the black one - not so much. The ranking matters because when you search Amazon for an item, they will show you the best ranking items matching your search. So if someone searches for a T shirt, there is almost no chance Amazon will show them the black one, as it has an awful ranking. The green one however will be at the top of the page. But when they are linked together as variations, when the buyer clicks on the green one s/he will now see the black one and might buy it instead. That is a sale that could not have happened without variations. So now let's say you have a product selling well with a high ranking and lots of great reviews, you might want to hitch a new or different product to that product as a variation so buyer can find it when they click on the high ranking item. Plus the buyer will see all the reviews lumped together and won't know that they are entirely for a different product. Sellers do this even when the products are not as similar as the t shirts, and often they will use different categories that have variation rules that better suit their needs.Ideally, once the seller generates enough sales that the new variation has a good ranking and plenty of reviews on its own, they can split them up. Now, this all sucks as a buyer. However Amazon is beginning to split up reviews been on variations in certain categories. When you click on one variation, it will only show the number of reviews for that specific product.I think it is a matter of time for it to be separated across the board. However, once Amazon figures out that issue, sellers will exploit another. And around and round we'll go.

Why does amazon bundle the reviews for different versions of an item?EG: This item: NETGEAR R6700 Nighthawk AC1750 Dual Band Smart WiFi Router, Gigabit Ethernet (R6700) ($99.99)Has 21k reviews but they are all over the place, there are 7 flavors of this listed:and the reviews are mixed together so the star rating is completely useless, plus I don't know which review to read since I don't know which is referring specifically to the model I am looking at.
