A determination to be made by objective criteria; the question whether the owner, as a reasonable man, should have been satisfied with the work. Anno: 44 ALR2d 1120, § 5[b]; 13 Am J2d Bldg Contr § 30. A determination entirely subjective, the owner or contracting party entitled to performance having the right to pass on the performance and determine whether or not it is satisfactory, without the necessity of disclosing the reasons for the determination made by him, provided he acts in good faith. United States Heat & Power Corp. v Lachman, 235 Mich 75, 77, 209 NW 187. The word "satisfactory" is employed in two different senses when applied in contracts to make or supply something to the "satisfaction" of a person, or a thing "satisfactory" to him. If the article to be made or supplied is one which involves personal taste or feeling, such as a dress or a portrait, the person to be satisfied is the sole judge, and the article must conform to his peculiar taste or feelings; but if it does not involve such taste or feelings, as a keg of nails, or a piece of machinery, the article need only be "reasonably" satisfactory. Pennington v Howland, 21 RI 65, 41 A 891.
