Precisely my thoughts. I want this service for stuff that doesn't matter that much to me but I can accidentally spend too much time researching (easy to do on the internet). Tell me what umbrella to buy, kitchen supplies, etc.

Of course the obvious counter argument is that what's not important to me is to someone else. So of course what this site really needs is just much more coverage.

I agree.. but I love the site.. I feel like it needs some social validation, though. Long term maybe the site will be well-curated enough to get a reputation that makes it unnecessary.. but right now, I feel like I need a peek at some evidence that these products are as awesome as suggested.

Brilliant execution. Just stellar.

Also, having bought my fair share of consumer electronics, I've found that the research and anticipation of buying a product is sometimes as much fun as the afterglow of owning it.
