It took me months to replace our fire hazard of a toaster. Literally 10 months of indecision after my toaster started a fire until we replaced it... because my spouse bought one for me for Christmas that year. I asked friends, read reviews, and was paralyzed by indecision. Finally somebody else made the decision, which is great, because somehow I turned into a "toast for breakfast" person once I hit my mid 30's.
So much time wasted down the product review rabbit hole! 9 times out of 10 I end up buying the original item I was looking at (sometimes after being disappointed by the product with better reviews).
Totally agree. Whenever I'm stuck, I do the same -- just ask some expert who knows the answer. :P Otherwise, I get trapped in reading every single Amazon review for every little thing...

We truly live in the golden age for overthinking trivial things.
