Default What Is Your Star Rating Criteria For Making A Purchase?

How do you use the 5 Star rating system to make a decision?

Do you have number, such as 80% 4˜… or above with 70% being 5˜…, or
something like that?

Obviously, we have to toss the irrelevant reviews like:

2˜… - I bought this for my daughter and she hates the color.
1˜… - This sink doesn't fit in the hole I have in my counter.

But in general, do you have a "system" or is it just gut feel after
reviewing the reviews?


I don't consider anything under 4 unless the qty of reviews are under
10. Then I will read them to determine the irrelevant ones as you stated.

Occasionally there is/are reviews where a person(s) provides very
precise detail which clearly displays they know what they are talking
about. Sometimes I may simply take their word for it and risk a
purchase. Overall, the more reviews the better with a 4+ rating is my
option.
