    I’d assume the difference is probably down to owners using the products for an extended period of time compared to reviewers.

      Was thinking the same. Most reviewers get sent a bunch of things to test so spend a short amount of time. Plus there is no incentive to judge longevity as long as people buy it, and they get commission

        Probably a bit of both. Even an honest reviewer can’t report a failure that happens in month 8. That is why we weight owner reports pretty havily.
