Still, durability varies widely among brands. In 1981, estimated product lives for major home appliances ranged from 9.9 years (Westinghouse) to 13.2 (Frigidaire) for refrigerators. This wide dispersion suggest that durability is a potentially fertile area for further product quality differentiation. 1, record 5, English, - product%20quality%20differentiation

Toutefois, la durabilité varie beaucoup d’une marque à l'autre. En 1981, la vie des principaux appareils ménagers allait de 9. 9 ans(Westinghouse) à 13. 2 ans(frigidaire) pour les réfrigérateurs,(...).
