1 star reviews are often skewed by the "delivery company did something dumb" reviews or a part was missing or there was a problem with returning it or that kind of thing. I often just look that the average rating isn't complete trash, if it's averaging 2 star on a lot of ratings the product probably is not worth considering. Then I pick some longer 4-star reviews and read the text. In the long reviews someone's put some thought into it and they're often more balanced.
