YSK when researching a product you’re planning to purchase, filter reviews by “Most Recent”
Why YSK: Companies are constantly putting products through research & development, and newer reviews of the product will likely reflect newer changes. The overall rating of the product may be high, but if the last year or two of reviews portray a 1-2 star rating for the same reason(s), the product may not be a good fit.
Edited based on some great feedback and TIL: Especially if the seller is Amazon or using Amazon platform, after filtering by “Most recent”, double check the date and the product being reviewed, as sellers occasionally reuse review pages - the review you’re reading may not be the product you’re considering. #education
