Non-clicky poll: online reviews

How much stock do you put in online reviews on sites like Amazon, Overstock, etc.?

Obviously there will be that one person just he!!-bent on complaining because they didn't get what they wanted for 20% of what it's worth, but does one honestly bad review steer you away from something? Or do you take the overall average as your indicator?

Re: Non-clicky poll: online reviews

  • I usually read them, but take them with a grain of salt. If a bunch of people say it sucks I usually don't get it, or find something comparable and vice versa if the majority of the reviews are positive.

  • I go with the average usually but I also read the bad reviews and base my decision on what they say. Maybe most of the bad reviews say "hard to put together" or "not very good quality." Well if I'm just looking for something cheap to serve a purpose, I may get it anyway. It totally depends on what I'm looking for.

    I do usually narrow my search to 4 stars and above though.

  • If it's for something expensive, like electronics, I will definitely put stock in what other reviewers have said.  If it's for something like a picture frame, I may take negative reviews with a grain of salt.

  • I look for trends. If there's one person that is whining about holes not fitting or broke after a month, I overlook it. But if they're all talking about how it looks great but isn't, that's probably true.
