If it's a simple as not driving the old one with punctured tires and replacing those first to get a dramatically different comparison then no i'd say it's unfair.
Replacing a broken thermostat or fixing a rubber seal isn't a huge thing. Why else make the comparison? Who cares about this broken one?
- mmooss 1y agoIt depends what you are comparing: If you're comparing technologies, then you want to eliminate the variable of condition. If you are comparing the values or efficiency of actual old fridges and new fridges - for example, to decide whether to replace the old ones - then it's false data to assume the old fridges are in the same condition as new ones.
