Quality

There’s nothing worse than a great product that breaks shortly after you purchase it, or one that you can tell is shoddily made right out of the box. Of course, you can usually return them, but it’s a hassle. So evaluating products for quality before you buy saves a significant amount of time and headaches.

Customer Feedback

While not everyone will agree on everything, hearing how other people who purchased the products liked them and what their experiences with them have been is invaluable. Trustworthy online reviews are incredibly helpful to hone in on a product’s qualities — both positive and negative. They’re the next best thing to actually trying the product out yourself.
