--- you don't have to hide the data or repeat it at all. You can use
the include pattern[1] to reference a section of the page and pull the
data from there.

You can write the product name and various bits of information, then
in each hReview reference back to it.

The Yahoo! Tech site does just that:

This is in each review
<a href="#prodname" class="include microformatdetail">

That refers back to;
<h2 class="ytprodh2">
<a href="..."  class="rescentlink">Cell Phones</a>: <strong
class="item fn" id="prodname">RIM BlackBerry Pearl
8100</strong>...</h2>
