I gave up on any product related reviews on Reddit a decade ago. It can still be useful for guides that may describe what type of products you should look into, e.g., woodworking tools, skincare, etc.
For product reviews, I've been using GearLab (<a href="https://www.techgearlab.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.techgearlab.com/) for years with pretty reliable results. I have no affiliation with them.

  GearLab is legit. Their outdoor sibling (<a href="https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/) is also great. I think the whole concept of "best" in a product category is fairly flawed, but they do it well; their individual product reviews are even better.
