Always starting with 3 stars. Funny, that is supposed to mean average and/or OK. Not where the comments fall. You have to disregard the star ratings and read what is being said. Some folks are delighted with the product but have another problem. If it's shipper specific it's pulled. But if packaging, labeling, instructions, etc., it stays and taints the product overall rating as a product in itself. Some will give one star because of a related problem, but not the product.

IDT we ever knew how stupid the public is until the web. I didn't anyway. Or maybe I got wiser, who knows?

The only time I ever went on Amazon is to read a review. I couldnt find much info on a gauge how to wire it and such and the reviews told me what i wanted to know. Im an ebay guy

I generally read the reviews before making a purchase . It's one data set to consider but your own research should be what drives a purchase . I know going into it that 30-40 percent of the reviews are BS .
