Often times when duckduckgoing (is that the right term for that) advice for products, I use the !ddgr key to directly search reddit for advice. But in a post-blackout world, I need to do this a lot less. So I want to know what the best places are to get reviews and advice for products that are human and not top 10 listicals.

For expensive electronics, I search some reviews. Then I google "{device_model_number} problems" or "{device_model_number} not working" and see what the results are like. I buy one that didn't have a lot of results there.

Sadly, the results are usually from reddit. But you also get some various hardware discussion forums and such.
