I find 1 star reviews quite useful. If all the reviews are shipping complaints, the lemon rate of the product is probably low.

There's a lot of gaming on those low star ratings by competitors. The trustability of reviews on Amazon has sunk so low over the years that for many products, reading many (tens or several tens of) reviews across star ratings is what may help have some idea about the product's quality and the seller.
