Pro tip: I used to trust the star rating on a product page without reading the reviews, but after buying a $40 garden hose that split in a week despite its 4.5 stars, I always sort by 'most recent' first.

The change happened last spring when I realized the high rating was based on hundreds of old reviews, but the last 50 from this year all mentioned the same manufacturing flaw the company never fixed.

Honestly, a $40 hose that splits in a week is a proper scam. Tbh, that's why I never trust the overall rating anymore.

It's like everything's built to break now so you keep buying replacements.
