How the Made to Last score works

Every product is rated 0–100 across the four things that decide whether it lasts.

🛡️

Durability

Build quality and how it holds up to real, daily use over years.

🔧

Repairability

Can you fix it and get parts — or is it glued shut and disposable?

Longevity

Realistic expected lifespan from owner reports, teardowns and warranties.

💵

Value

Cost per year of use — a pricey thing that lasts 25 years often wins.
