Ratings

I have received feedback that most of my reviews are 4 and 5 star. It's true that most items are rated highly and this is a reflection of a few things. 1) I do a lot of up-front research and narrow down on good to great products 2) my enthusiasm for rating things I love is high, and things I don't love low. As such I am switching to a two tier rating system: Recommended and Not Recommended.

OmarKnows now employs the following rating system.

Not Recommended

Maps to 2-3 star ratings. I almost never used 2 star.
