I live in a small town in Germany and we have five of these in one year, with 20-30 devices coming in each time. We can fix most of them, even with fairly basic tools. Some observations:
* One of the worst things to repair are electric shavers. It feels like horology, but dirty.
* Sewing machines are suprisingly complex. The electrical issues are easy to fix, but the internal mechanical parts are really unfarmiliar.
* Outright hostile designs are rarely found in cheap products. The main problem is usually worn out platic threads or breaking clips.
* People almost never bring in smartphones or computers.
* Many visitors are very interested in what we are doing and often suprised how simple a repair can be.
