[OPEN] Product Reviews Poll

Alanta Lee

I’m curious about how much product reviews actually matter.

When you're picking out parts—whether it's dev boards, sensors, power supplies, or even hand tools—do you check reviews first? Or do you just go straight to datasheets and manufacturer specs?

I’ve noticed that some reviewers go really in-depth, testing things beyond what’s in the spec sheet, while others are more surface-level. Do you find these reviews helpful, or do you prefer to just rely on your own experience and forums like this?

  • For components I generally go to the datasheet, although I will also often look for examples of it being used or reference designs.

    For complex instrumentation, I look at specs and reviews. When looking at reviews I am often looking for comparisons with similar instrumentation and sometimes looking at learning curves and ease of use.

    When looking at low cost instrumentation, I am looking to see if it is well designed and well made, and if it performs as advertised.
