A manufacturer's rep hinted I'd get more samples if I downplayed a flaw.

I noticed the microphone doesn't pick up quiet voices well. How do you handle pressure to be less critical?

Wouldn't hiding the flaw make your future reviews less trusted?

Last week I saw a review for a blender that skipped over it leaks everywhere. Sure, hide the flaw, that works great until someone's kitchen is covered in smoothie. Then you get a dozen angry comments asking why you didn't warn them. At that point your review is just a funny story people tell about bad advice. Trust isn't something you get back after pulling a stunt like that.
