Cookware Scoring Standards

Cookware Scoring Dimensions

Common defects such as coating peeling, uneven heating and warping account for almost all cookware complaints, so the complaint rate dimension is given the highest weight, followed by durability which directly affects long-term usage experience. Authentic praise for positive features and repurchase recommendation serve as supplementary references for product advantages and user satisfaction, so they are assigned relatively lower weights.

Weight Distribution

Dimension Weight What It Means
Complaint Avoidance 35% Lower complaint rate → higher score
Authentic Praise 20% More specific praise → higher score
Durability 30% Better long-term reliability → higher score
Would Recommend 15% Higher “would buy again” rate → higher score
