Repair Caf\u00e9 volunteers entered more repair data than ever before in 2024. More than 37,000 repairs were recorded in the RepairMonitor, the online tool for data collection in Repair Caf\u00e9s worldwide. Of these, 62 percent were successful. This can be seen in the latest factsheet with results from the RepairMonitor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, and trousers\/pants were the most popular items brought to Repair Caf\u00e9s in 2024. The factsheet also lists the most common problems for each of these three items. For example, vacuum cleaners often had damaged cords or plugs, switches were broken, or there were motor problems.<\/p>\n

Public dashboard with eight visualisations<\/h2>\n

The current results of the RepairMonitor can be viewed at any time via a public dashboard with eight visualisations<\/a>. This dashboard provides insight into the most frequently offered products and brands, participating Repair Caf\u00e9s, reasons why repairs are unsuccessful etc. Visitors can filter the results by indicators such as country, year, Repair Caf\u00e9 and product category. They can also download the entire dataset for further independent research.<\/p>\n

RepairMonitor is being expanded and improved<\/h2>\n

Repair Caf\u00e9 International is taking a close look at the RepairMonitor this year. The system is being rebuilt, expanded, and improved in numerous ways. This should make it attractive for even more Repair Caf\u00e9s to enter repair data and provide more information about the repairs they carry out. This should lead to a larger and better dataset.<\/p>\n

This dataset will benefit all kinds of parties: repairers will be able to repair better, policymakers will be able to make better rules to promote repair, manufacturers will have additional tools to increase the repairability of their products, and researchers will have better data to analyse. The updated RepairMonitor is expected to be available in autumn.<\/p>\n
