What a repair is worth per year
A repair you're entitled to lowers what the product costs you per year of use
Comparing the full price of a new product with a repair bill isn't fair — a repaired product doesn't always last as long as a new one. So we compare the honest way: what one year of use costs you.

Repair doesn't always win. If it costs over half the price of a new product for just a year or two, replacing can be the better deal — your case check estimates this for your situation.
Indicative market ranges and average lifetimes, for orientation only. Not a legal ruling or a guarantee of any amount.
When replacing makes more sense, we help you find and manage a refurbished or more repairable replacement — and you can trade your broken device for up to €50 via Zircls (zircls.com).

Resolve repair cases before they escalate
Manufacturers, sellers and repair providers can work with reported cases directly, before they become disputes.
Every report adds to a shared evidence base. Anonymised reports help identify systemic repair barriers by company, product, category and issue type, and support better repair rights across Europe. Personal information is never part of published figures.
Trusted by cities, institutions, and circular economy leaders.
From global electronics programs to local repair vouchers, FixFirst helps organizations launch, manage, and measure repair at scale.
United Nations
Partnering with UNIDO on global electronics circularity
