It's important to evaluate the negative reviews for yourself. Often enough they'll complain about things that won't bother me or aren't relevant to the product itself or what I need it for. The frequency is also an important data point. If a single review out of 1000 says that it broke after a day, it has far less weight than if 10 or 50 reviews complain about quality.
