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've read that it is best to look at the 3 star reviews.
Some of the 5 star people may have an agenda. Some of the
1 star may have a bias, didn't use it properly, got a lemon,
or as you said, didn't like the color.

Those who rate things 3 stars it's said are usually a bit
more critical in their evaluations.
