Yes, a magistrate decides. The times listed already have a set precedent.
What goes into deciding reasonableness usually involves:
* Cost of product vs average income of average household
* Reliability advertised
* Average income of the targeted audience
* Audience reliance upon the product
As a quick example, an iPhone sells for about $1400, which is about 2% of the average income, and is a daily use item.
The device breaking causes disruption to the consumer, and has already cost a somewhat sizeable part of their income.
They're entitled to the time necessary to offset such a purchase, and interest rates and insurance rates are used as the guide here. Both of which use 4.8 years for 2%.
