- tonymillion 3y agoIt truly is a gift that sucks
- interfixus 3y agoI did, not a month ago. Nothing strange about the process whatsoever.
- cookingrobot 3y agoI think the comment was that if they buy a vacuum and don’t like it, they return it and buy a different one. So if that happens 20% of the time, that next month has a much higher chance of buying “another vacuum” than the average month. Also, I bought my parents a Roomba because I liked mine, so that can happen too.
- dharmab 3y agoA vacuum cleaner would be a great housewarming gift, for example.
- Baeocystin 3y agoSeveral years back a bunch of us pet-owning friends wound up round-robin gifting the same model SpotBot carpet cleaner to each other, because it was something we all agreed made our lives better. Nothing weird about it at all.
- 59nadir 3y agoThe fact that you had to preface this with you and your friends being pet owners kind of does make it a special case. You being suggested this vacuum cleaner by Amazon after buying it also doesn't do anything for you in this scenario because you bought the same one for your friends, so the recommendation wasn't needed. I think people are losing sight of the original argument which is that Amazon's recommendations can sometimes overemphasize recent purchases with very little context around what the items are.
- rudasn 3y agoYeah, but everyone is "special case" in retail.
- TheCoreh 3y agoI've done it before: shortly after I bought a robot vacuum; I gave the exact same model as a birthday gift
