Except for the part where they specifically researched this A new study commissioned by the German Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt – UBA) has revealed that the lifespans of electrical and electronic appliances are becoming shorter, with the amount of appliances replaced within five years due to defects increasing from 3.5 per cent in 2004 to 8.3 per cent in 2013. That is quite a significant difference in reliability.
