This is nice in theory, but Amazon have a big problem right now where merchants have figured out how to reuse Amazon listing to game the review rating. You'll often find you're looking at a product but the reviews are talking about something completely different.
Here's an example - third product in the search results on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Headphone-Connector-Converter-Acces...
It's supposed to be for Headphone adapters for iPhone, but you get reviews like:
"Super set of pocket friendly priced pencils!"
"I purchased this Hub back in April of 2013"
"On the first couple of uses, food did stick a bit and that is with seasoning the griddle"
So it's got to point now of having to first find a product with good ratings, then make sure the reviews are indeed for that product.
