5-star reviews are almost useless (“It does what it says on the tin”). I’d rather go by in-depth reviews elsewhere, or negative reviews.

- jandrese 5y agoThe best reviews to read are the 1 or 2 star reviews. If the reviews are of the “I bought this RS232 adapter and it won’t plug into my graphics card!!! Total junk!!!!!” and “delivery guy didn’t ring the doorbell when he dropped it off!” and there is a good number of reviews then the product is usually good. However when the problems with the product are spelled out in detail with attached pictures showing the defect I have to reconsider.
- m463 5y agoThe ones that get me are "I've had this for 15 minutes, and it is WONDERFUL! 5-stars!" It is nice when people come back when something goes wrong and ding the reviews. I wish there was a way to give feedback on reviews though - like most reviews that talk about delivery/seller instead of the product.
