I only looked at the star rating for years, but a single review saying 'broke after 3 months' on a 4.5-star coffee maker made me actually read them now.

I was about to buy that thing, but then I scrolled and saw six other people had the exact same issue with the heating element, which the star average totally hid.

My new coffee maker budget just went to the emergency fund instead.

Come on, a 4.5-star average tells you most people are happy. You're letting a handful of bad reviews, maybe from people who got a lemon or used it wrong, scare you off a good product. The system works fine if you see the overall trend and don't get hung up on a few outliers.

Star ratings are basically a lie.
