I read the reviews but have seen reports that they are sometiems made-up, so I usually look at Wirecutter (a shopping guide sponsored by the NY Times) first. Sometimes the Wirecutter review helps me decide what features I"m looking for and whether I want/need a higher priced product or not. I also do comparison shopping on Google shopping and use the low-to-high price filter on Google and Amazon. So far, everything I've purchased using this combination been a good choice.
