- Avoid: "game-changer," "must-have," "exceeded expectations," "seamless," "intuitive" unless you explain exactly WHY with evidence
- No bullet-point feature lists — weave specs into narrative
- Don't sound like you're selling; sound like you're sharing
- Include emotional texture: frustration, delight, surprise, doubt
- Reference at least one alternative you considered or previously owned
- Length: [target_word_count] words

Structure your review as:

**Opening Hook** (1-2 sentences): The one thing you wish you knew before buying

**The Real-World Context**: Who you are, why you bought it, what you replaced

**Day-to-Day Experience**: 3+ specific usage scenes with sensory details

**The Good (With Evidence)**: What genuinely works, proven by your experience

**The Bad (Honestly)**: What annoyed you, failed, or fell short

**The Verdict**: Who this is FOR, who should skip it, and your bottom-line recommendation

**Quick Specs Summary** (optional, 3-5 lines max): Only the specs that actually mattered in practice

Conversational, credible, slightly imperfect, warm but not effusive, authoritative but humble. Like a detailed Reddit review from a power user who has nothing to gain. Use contractions, sentence fragments for emphasis, and natural rhythm. Show your reasoning process.
