Search for review sites for the product you're looking for. There are a shocking number of such sites all chasing Amazon's affiliate cash for sending traffic there.

Right but they tend to phone it in! 9/10 if you pick a review site off google, they never looked at the product.

I can’t say how many times I’ve been looking at product comparison sites where it’s clear the content is written by a farm writer comparing box specs, who has never used or even held in their hand the type of product they are reviewing let alone the actual items.

So what we need is a review site for review sites, I guess...(?)

Look for real photos of the product. Any legitimate review will have at least one.

Good idea, yes, it is possible with some digging, just frustrating to dig through a layer of meta-trash.
