After all, if I'm looking, I'm already interested; negative input is more valuable. I do at least start with two-star reviews, as one-star reviews tend more to the "Awful" line, which doesn't tell me anything.
I do that when I'm looking for something on Amazon to buy. I look at some of the 1-3 star reviews. It's helped me move on and find a different brand to buy when I don't know the brand.
