My goto method for reading reviews is sort by negative and only look at detailed reviews, or at least ones that explain what they thought was lacking. Often the 1/2 star reviews have fair points but might be for a use case I don't care about or similar. This generally gives me an idea of the actual pros and cons of the product as opposed to just a vague rating. That's assuming you can trust the reviews themself of course.
