>I still read reviews on Amazon before ordering elsewhere
Why? I'm only adding more so it's not a one word response, but seriously, why are you still putting any credence whatsoever to Amazon reviews which is like scientifically proven to be gamed?

I've left bad reviews on manufacturer websites and often times they just never publish them so I don't really trust reviews anywhere more or less than Amazon reviews.
- The fake reviews are commonly very low-effort: "best I've found, gift for grandma".
- A seller looking to do review spam doesn't want to keep pumping fake reviews forever. It costs money, and it's a risk.
Taking these two things into account, I sort for recent reviews, and only consider <5 star reviews OR reviews with some meat on them.
