    I only look at 1 star reviews for that reason and decide if the problem those people have if relevant for me or in general

        I bought this iron, mounted it hot side up in a vise and made a toasted cheese sandwich on it and the cheese melted and got inside the iron. The cheese caught fire and set off my fire alarms. One star.

        I’ve seen someone complain about vacuum sealing bags not being airtight. They posted a picture and the thing was inflated like a balloon. Ma’am, that’s airtight. Your food is fermenting in there.

        Recently bought a thermometer/hygrometer. It said the external sensor is calibrated for -40 to 60°C (values might be a bit off but in that ballpark) while the internal one is calibrated for -20 to 100 (again might be a bit off).

        There was a 1 star review of someone using it in his sauna (so around 100°C) and seeing a big discrepancy between data from the two sensors so “it clearly can’t be very accurate”.
