what do you do with a customer who just want to leave bad reviews?
what is you thoughts on a customer, who opt-out from being communicated by the seller, who don't want to use their warranty, who don't want to reach out to customer service to resolve any issue with a product, but want to give 1 star with extensive but not so accurate information at times? how do Amazon help in this situation? don't get me wrong customers who give honest negative reviews are your best partners for you to refine your product and you get better every time you try to satisfy them. But what happen when a customer don't want to use any avenue available to solve a problem at all?

A buyer shouldn't have to run around trying to "fix problems". If I buy a new product, I expect it to work out of the box, no hassles.
It appears, a lot of your reviewers truly hate your product and you said it's an opportunity to update your item. Well, sounds like it needs to be, as this is just a sample of many reporting issues......
Item arrived when opened, broken

The sprinkler itself dosent fit all hoses, big problem. If you happen to have a big/smaller size it might fit?
Depends on size, as threads don't allow tight fit, IT LEAKS EVERYWHERE!!

I hate this sprinkler. Seriously, you have to have some kind of specialized degree just to use it. It over sprays and is so hard to figure out. I returned it and bought something a little more user friendly.

Greetings @Seller_ctmoP8Vw3rAvW,
From my experience, I agree with @Seller_4zBzdtgCyS9EI. As a customer I don't want to have to reach out to resolve issues once my product arrives. I like to open the box and be set to go. If you are running into issues where buyers regularly need assistance or additional accessories to make the product work for them you may want to update the detail page to make it more clear what the buyer needs or what the product is compatible with. Reviewing your feedback is a great way of determining where the Buyers might have confusion or misunderstandings that you can resolve before they need it.
The best solutions are ones that solve problems before they can arrive. Please feel free to reach out again if you have further questions.

Hello@Seller_ctmoP8Vw3rAvW,
While I understand that you are frustrated with your experience with this buyer and at this time Amazon does not allow Sellers to contact product reviewers. Ultimately it is the buyer's decision on if they want to reach out to you or not. Additionally Amazon policy will only remove product reviews if they are in violation of the Product Review Policies. Please note that Product Reviews do not impact your Seller Account Status.
Regarding negative feedback, Amazon expects you to say below 1% order defects per the Order defect rate policy. While 100% positive experiences is impossible, Amazon does set a high bar of expectation to ensure that Buyers continue to get good experiences on Amazon. You can reach out to Buyers who leave Negative Feedback or file A-to-Z Claims as long as you align with the Communication Guidelines. However it is the Buyer's decision if they want to respond or not.
I will however deliver your feedback to leadership, but at this time you will need to work within the Amazon policies as they currently exist. Thank you for your understanding.
