[QUOTE="vavaroutsos, post: 2877837, member: 127372"] Personally I start with research. I look for reviews from trusted sources. Then I look for product specs from the manufacture. If the product description isn't well specified, doesn't contain construction details, or is mostly marketing talk, I'm not interested. For instance, saying things like "100% waterproof" vs "IP67 rated". The former is complete marketing hype, nothing is 100% waterproof. The latter is a proper specification giving the test conditions. I do like to try new products. However, I won't spend my money just because it's new, to have the latest, etc.. The product needs to be a solution to a real problem, or needs to offer real advantages over existing products. Then it has to pass my evaluation of proper design/construction/value before I'll consider buying it. [/QUOTE]
