But the internet said ‘2 in 5’ are you saying the internet lied to me
2 in 5 would be 40% of sales.
The report you linked to says, “Which? research has uncovered hundreds of cases of washing machine glass doors exploding – and two in five [of those] are Beko machines.”
Assuming the report to be accurate, there are 2.6 million washing machines sold in the UK each year.
Of those, “hundreds” have broken doors. Let’s split that in the middle as it’s not specific and say 500 have broken. So 500 out of 2,600,000 machines fail (which is generous as I’m assuming failure in the same year, could be a several years old machine). 500/2600000 is, rounding up, 0.02% of machines. That’s slightly different from 40%.
If was assume the average lifespan of a washer is five years, then the failure rate of “hundreds” is in the thousandths of a percent.
