Another one of the million projects in my backlog that I'll never get to.

There's one major problem with this kind of website that I've been wanting a solution for, and it's that people often only leave reviews when they have an exceptionally bad experience. So when you see a product with lots of negative reviews, does that mean it's actually bad? Or is it just a very popular product, so lots of people will find issues with it? I think the solution to that is some form of review pre-registration. When you buy something that's intended to last a while, inform the review website of that purchase. Then if something goes wrong and you leave a negative review, you can see what percentage of purchases are affected.
