I absolutely agree that reveiws are important. I always look at the specs (Engineer - as Don suggested), but I also look at reveiws. People who are unhappy are most likely to post reviews, so it is always worthwhile to see what kind of problems have been experienced. That said, people should know that reveiws can be biased, and that all equipment has problems from time to time.
I suspect this request came from a couple "bad" reviews that were posted recently. I think they are worth reading, as at least one of them seems to be fairly well thought out, and hits on some legitimate issues, although they may have been blown out of proportion.
