How We Score Products
Every product on LastPurchase is evaluated using a 100-point evidence-based scoring system. We analyze publicly verifiable sources including manufacturer specifications, independent teardowns, warranty data, and verified user reviews to produce scores that are transparent and reproducible.
Only the highest-rated products and most trusted brands make our list. Every item is evidence-scored and verified before inclusion. Products that don't meet our minimum quality threshold are not listed — we'd rather have fewer products than mislead buyers with mediocre recommendations.
Material & Build Quality
25 ptsRaw material quality, construction techniques, design tolerances, and overall build robustness. We evaluate fabric weight, fastener quality, weld/seam integrity, and resistance to common failure modes.
Warranty & Support
35 ptsWarranty strength, repair programs, and manufacturer support. Covers warranty duration and terms, repair accessibility and cost, spare parts availability, trade-in programs, and the manufacturer's long-term commitment to standing behind the product.
User Trust Signals
40 ptsAggregate user sentiment from verified reviews, expert roundup placements, community reputation (e.g., r/BuyItForLife), brand transparency on sourcing and manufacturing, and long-term owner reports that confirm real-world durability.
