And then scroll down and click warranty and then click "Detailed view", it says
> How often does a product of this brand in the «AV Receiver» category have a defect within the first 24 months?
This doesn't mean what the title says, right? I'm not a native english speaker, but I hope my reading skill is not that bad. I read it like: Yamaha return scores in "AV Reciever". If Yamaha had 100 product in "AV Reciever", it doesn't say almost nothing to me regarding the Yamaha RX-V4A I'm seeing. It could be that all 3% (example number) defect are Yamaha RX-V4A, or completely 3 (assuming Yamaha has 100 different products) different products.
- rippercushions 4y agoIdentifying a "product" isn't as straightforward as it seems. Large retailers insist (and get) custom product codes from major manufacturers, which are just a different code slapped onto the same box, but accomplish the goal of making price comparisons impossible. And then you've got more legitimate reasons for different codes, like the same physical product ships with 27 different types of power plugs, warranty leaflets etc for various countries.

- rrgok 4y agoIt says almost the same: "How often is a product of this brand in the «XXXX» category returned"... It doesn't says how often the product I'm seeing is returned. But A product of the brand BBBB in the category XXXX is returned. I don't know, it is still a useful metric nonetheless. But it is still a misleading title.
