I always read the 1 star reviews, and usually nothing else. If they are all dumb shit like "Mine never arrived!" Or "It broke the first time I threw it at the wall" then I know it's probably fine
I haven’t opened the box yet but it looks ok, 5 stars.
"Shipping was fast!" Says a product review that was shipped by Amazon.
"It hasn't arrived yet, but I just know my grandkids are going to love this!" Five stars.
I've been delivering through my province and collecting roadside diners to visit on days off. The last restaurant I checked the one star reviews and the first one said the "coleslaw was boring". There was also a three star review that said it was closed so they couldn't eat there... what?
Yesterday I saw a 1 star review of a store of someone complaining that they were charging 5 cents for paper bags and that they would buy from Amazon from now on. That was the only complaint, 1 star. The dude was a local guide even. I insta blocked his google account, embarrassing.
My go-to example is an inverter I got for my drill batteries. It's a box that plugs into my 20V drill batteries with a couple USB ports and a 110V wall outlet on top. It can produce 150 watts maximum from that socket. The reviews for this device are split between 4 and 5 star reviews from people who know what that means, and 1 star reviews from people who don't. "Won't run my air fryer. Would rate 0 stars if I could."
Or: ★ I tried to use this knife as a fork and it didn't work.
Or some other dumb shit where you wonder how that person is even able to live.
The amount of times i do this, usually the 1* reviews are all "this replacement part didnt fit my [machine]" or something similar. Usually its just the end user admitting they ordered the wrong thing, and cant take acknowledge theyre the ones who made a mistake
I recently took family to a beach vacation, and I looked up reviews for the beach and read the 1-stars. One of them was a 1- star review because, reason given, the beach was cold. That reason for a one-star is worth at least ten five-star reviews.
Absolutely. Sometimes the two and three stars are useful, people tend to write more nuanced reviews about what went wrong or other issues with whatever is being reviewed. You might also find someone who has taken the time to find a fix if there is one, or suggest a possible alternative product that does the job. One stars are usually “this (thing) sucks because (reasons) and I’d give it negative stars if I could!”
