    Annoying, 1152 ratings but no reviews (approx 3.1/5 score)

    • FlyingKanga on 06/03/2020 - 20:47

      Don't trust reviews from the website itself lol, they can easily fake it.

      • spackbace on 06/03/2020 - 20:48

        Wouldn't you think they'd make it higher than 62% if they were going to fake it? ;)

        • FlyingKanga on 06/03/2020 - 22:03

          No, it's an entry level product. If everything was 9/10 would that seem legitimate to you?

          • spackbace on 06/03/2020 - 22:51

            @FlyingKanga: sigh it's like you have no idea 😂

                  @spackbace: So you agree that they can fake their own reviews, great. My point is that if they can control that, then they can influence you to purchase their higher tier products which have better reviews. It's classic marketing psychology and your inability to see it amazes me on how well it works.

                    @FlyingKanga: Likewise, how easily people will blindly accept conspiracy theories amazes me…

                    I'm assuming that despite your "insider knowledge" on how easy it is to fake reviews (not that you need anything more than a semi-functioning brain to figure that out…), you can't point to a single example of them actually doing that?

            @FlyingKanga: Reviews should be based on level/price/expected user and use, if not everyone would review an utily car against a mercedes

      Its weird but all of Anacondas items are very lowly rated if you compare the exact same items rating in other stores. Dunno if its internal incompetence or external sabotage but youre better off looking up items on product review or some other third party site.

      • spackbace on 07/03/2020 - 01:46
        -1

        Yeah star ratings are pointless, need comment systems. Yes they can be manipulated but something is better than nothing and you can generally see trends (refer Target's online review system).

        Which was the whole point of my initial comment, which first replier didn't understand

        • Nebargains on 07/03/2020 - 06:48

          Even then though, online reviews are almost always heavily weighted towards the negative and it is very hard to judge.

          People are far more likely to go online to make a complaint or leave a bad review than they are to leave a good review about a product or service.

  • Buy2Much on 06/03/2020 - 17:31

    The price is attractive. Surely they must sell decent quality gear being a specialist adventure store and not a general clearance store like Red Dot?

      They certainly do…you've just gotta fund it in amongst all the crap that they also sell.

      Hence a bit of a bargain I guess! I bought 2 of them a couple months back for about that then had to fork out for the paddle and PFD ….. All still sitting unused :(

      Thats when i purchased it. Used it a few times on calm waters and pretty happy with it.

        Ok Calm waters?so don't go chasin' waterfalls?stick to the rivers and lakes that your used?

        • DarwinBoy on 07/03/2020 - 13:25

          Because of crocodiles I have limited areas of use and those areas I can go don't include open water where the water can get a little bit rough. I also go with the little fellas so taking kids kayaking further reduces your options.
          Plenty of people do open water kayaking and SUP up here but being eaten by a crocodile is not on my bucket list.

        • ev3nfl0w on 07/03/2020 - 18:35

          I know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all, but I think you'll be moving way too fast on waterfalls.

          The average Australian man is 178cm tall and weighs in at 85kg. For women, the average height is 164cm with a weight of 68kg.

      You would need to average 62.5 kilos each or less. So if you're a jockey or somehow other vertically challenged then you should be ok.

          You could try Hayes st in Neutral Bay or Sirius Cove in Mosman. Get there early and there should be free parking for 2 hours.

          Hug the shoreline and there’s a nice paddle past the zoo and towards middle head

      Yeah, I bought this, had a go, and it did get water in it.

      I was a bit concerned, so I asked a fellow kayaker if it's a problem, and he explained with an air of confidence that's it's fine, and gestured to the shape of the kayak.

      I'm not entirely sure I should be trusting my life with this stranger's understanding of fluid dynamics, but … I am.

        Indeed it is, I just bought two from Penrith - his and hers.

        I joined the Adventure Club online to get the price and got a $10 welcome voucher as well. Surprisingly that worked too, so $288 for two complete packages and as we have a Falcon Wagon both fitted easily into the back as well.

        They had loads left as of 30 mins ago.

      They're 2.66M long so you might struggle - my Falcon Wagon was easy but they're VERY long internally when you fold the passenger seat down.

      On balance try but be prepared to put it on top. Incidentally I did note that Anaconda were selling an inflatable kayak rack for $50 - an option?

  • tomf on 07/03/2020 - 12:48

    I just bought this from Anaconda Chatswood. There were about 6-8 on show. It's light enough to lift onto my hatchback, and I used some ratchet straps to secure it (after embarrassingly having to watch a Youtube video on how to do that).

    The lifevest is universally sized: fits 40kg+ (there's presumably a limit, but it's not 70kg as suggested in this thread).

    I took it for a spin on Lane Cove, and though I'm not a kayak person, it seems fine. I have blistered thumbs though. :)

    I'm not sure how I'm meant to secure this anywhere, but fortunately it fit in my shed.
