This is a part of a big problem in consumer products - a tons of confusing or missing data. Prices are hidden. A lot of the specification isn't shown(what's the wind strength of that fan in cfm, vs noise in db ? no i don't need marketing terms like "strong"), it's hard to compare by spec, and we don't know anything about long term reliability.

On the other hand, many b2b markets have that, because the buyers there demand it, and usually only buy a product with a spec.

Maybe there's some solution to that problem. But i do wonder, if it exists, would consumers use it to purchase stuff?
