Showerthought: My whole week got derailed by a single bad review of a smart lock I bought.

I installed the 'SecureHome Bolt' on my front door last Tuesday, but after reading a detailed YouTube review about its app failing during a power outage, I spent the next 4 days paranoid and checking it constantly, which makes me wonder: do you guys let negative reviews completely change how you use a gadget, or do you just ignore them and form your own opinion?

Totally get that. A bad review about my robot vacuum getting stuck made me watch it like a hawk for a week. It's hard to unsee that stuff once you read it.

Bad reviews can actually be helpful though, they set realistic expectations (instead of perfect marketing promises).
