When finding deals on Amazon, it’s hard not to notice AmazonBasics. Launched in 2009, AmazonBasics is one of the online selling giant’s popular private level brands, along with Amazon Gear Store and Pinzon Bedding & Bath.
Products sold on AmazonBasics are not different with off-brand versions of popular products other retail stores offer. Amazon seems to be into targeting products that sell very well on other sites and brands, and then creates their own that are often nearly identical to the original, launching them as new AmazonBasics products.
If that’s the case, you might be asking what is their products’ edge from the popular brands. The most obvious benefit would be the low prices offered for electronics. None of these would be the flashy type of items that will make your friends green with envy, but it will surely get the job done with less expense.
Judging by the number of positive reviews the products have gotten, AmazonBasics is doing pretty well. Most of the products have several thousand user reviews, each with four-plus star averages, while none of them have fewer than 3.5 stars. Users are saying their purchased AmazonBasics products still work well after a few years. It is because Amazon is excellent at benchmarking and has a very strict quality control. Products that mostly get low star ratings are discontinued as soon as Amazon starts struggling with it, so they don’t drag the average down. They make sure that they provide a decent amount of selection which are actually of great value.
