Bear in mind that a Twitter complaint can include anything from actual defective features to having to wait too long to get something, being annoyed about what it costs or that the instructions are hard to follow.
Cameras come out of this pretty well
The other thing to note from the Electronics Hub survey (opens in new tab) is that cameras are near the bottom of the complained-about list. Far worse offenders include consoles (Xbox One: 12.1%), phones (Apple iPhone 12 mini (opens in new tab): 26.1%), laptops (HP laptops (opens in new tab), 29.1%), earbuds (Realme: 33.8%), fitness trackers (FitBit Charge 4: 31.4%), tablets (opens in new tab) and smart home devices.
In fact, it turns out that of all the product categories Electronics Hub surveyed, cameras got the lowest percentage of negative comments in the Twitterverse – so while GoPro’s last three Heros are in this blacklist, their numbers are still pretty good. So actually, cameras are the least-complained about products!
