My system is to just focus on the 1 & 2 star ratings, and look for trends, specifically. It takes a bit of work, since most of those reviews are just nonsense, but eventually true flaws in the product will be exposed through repetition. Due to the amount of work, I typically only reserve this method for big ticket items that would be difficult to return, such as appliances.
- taeric 3y agoOddly, appliances are the area I would trust user reviews the least. It will be dominated by luck of experience on who will post. And with how variable manufacturing is for most, the exact same model sold on the other side of the nation is as likely to be a different beast as not. Not even considering last year's version of it. Still, I don't discard the idea here. If there are features of it that every low star mentions, I think I agree that I would trust the feature is bad. I can't think of often that has happened. Will try to pay more attention for it.
