Own something that refuses to die? Nominate it for the scoreboard — long-term ownership reports are the evidence this whole site runs on.
The scoreboard runs on survivors
The best durability evidence in the world isn’t in any lab — it’s in your garage, your kitchen, and on your wrist. If you own (or have serviced, inherited, or worn out trying to wear out) a product that belongs on an A1Make scoreboard, we want the details.
What makes a strong nomination
The more of this you can include, the faster a product gets rated:
- The product — brand, model, and roughly when yours was made
- Time in service — how many years of real use, and how hard
- What broke, and what fixing it took — repairs are good data, not disqualifiers; a product that’s easy to fix can outscore one that never broke
- Parts & service reality — could you get parts? Did the company help?
- Would you buy it again — the ten-year answer, not the day-one answer

with the subject line Product nomination: <what it is>.
A structured submission form (with time-in-use verification — our 1yr/3yr/5yr evidence ladder) is on the roadmap. Until then, plain email from a real owner beats any form we could build.
What happens next
- Nominations get logged as
ideain our editorial pipeline - We research the longevity track record, teardown evidence, and parts market
- A draft review is assembled and scored under the public rubric
- A human editor verifies every claim before the review is approved
- The product takes its earned place on the scoreboard — wherever that is
We read everything. Products with multiple independent owner reports jump the queue, so recruit your most stubborn friends.
