Many places use "user" ratings to rank their results, avoid these because there’s no logic, no qualifications, no nothing to support the findings. 351 people rate this model XYZ as excellent because 50% say it’s "so cool" , 25% because their friends like it and wish they had one too, and another 25% say things that make even less sense.
