Press: repairability data

Findings

• Where appliances lose points: dishwashers most on documentation (on average 15.6 of 20 points), vacuum cleaners on spare parts price (15.9 of 20). Our own analysis of the sub-scores in the French repairability index. Calculation
• Laptops: 39 of 1,824 models reach the top score of 10 in the French repairability index; the average is 9.41. Ranking
• Dishwashers and vacuum cleaners: highest score 9.9 in both; 71% of dishwashers and 70% of vacuum cleaners score 9 or more. Rankings
• TVs: scores in the French durability index range from 2.3 to 9.1, average 7.03. Average per supplier: Samsung 7.67, Hisense 7.53, Sony 7.28 (our own calculation). Ranking
• Washing machines: average durability index 8.27; repairability 8.88, reliability 7.66 (our own calculation). Ranking
• Spare parts data is the exception: only 652 of 2,761 barcodes in the French dataset state spare parts years for consumers. Barcode check

Suppliers report the scores themselves; RepairInfoEU adds no rating of its own. The French index is not an EU repairability score. Method on every ranking.
