I usually check the rating. If its 4-5 stars, then I will proceed to reading a few 5 stars, and a few 1 stars. You can usually tell if the reviews are real and this also helps you decide if the negatives matter to you.

I bought a vaccuum recently and did this process. One of the 1 star reviews was something to the effect of, "this vacuum sucks too hard. Its a workout to use". I have 2 huskies and a sea of fur to contend with, so this 1 star was a 5 star to me.
