The status quo of tracking how good a machine is by how many years it lasts is sloppy and inaccurate. If that were the only measure of car reliability, we would be working ½ blind in trying to work out how long cars are lasting and predicting failure unreliably. The ultimate non-ecocidal trend needs to be to build things to last. Progress is hindered by our shitty metrics. Consumers pay a lot more for Miele machines on ½ blind faith that they will save them money. But they cannot be certain that paying double will yield them double the service. If consumers could more accurately measure the service they get out of a machine, there would be more pressure on the producers to compete on price-per-load. As a consequence, there would be more incentive to offer parts even beyond whatever right to repair law imposes because when repair extends life in a measurable way it wins the price-per-load over a lifetime competition.
Washing machines have internal scales so they can refuse to run when overloaded. So in addition to load count they could even be tracking how much fabric in weight they have cleaned.
So new rule: washing machines and dishwashers must collect metrics and must disclose them to consumers in a way that does not depend on a cloud connection or smartphone.
