Realized I was reading reviews wrong after a bad $60 purchase
Been buying stuff on Amazon for years and always sorted by highest rating first. Grabbed a $60 blender from a brand called MixBlast that had 4.5 stars and it died after 3 uses. Then a buddy told me to always check the 1-star reviews first to see the real problems. Now I look at recent negative reviews before anything else. Anyone else make this mistake for way too long?

60 dollars for a blender from a brand you never heard of and you're surprised it broke after 3 uses? MixBlast sounds like a company that spent more on fake reviews than on making a decent motor. I've bought plenty of cheap blenders for less than that and they lasted years because I actually looked at what people were complaining about before buying. You sorting by highest rating first is like going to a restaurant and only reading the 5 star Yelp reviews from the owner's friends. That bad purchase is on you for not doing 5 minutes of research, not on the system.
