These records display the wide variety of products brought to repair clinics, offer data for a few statistics as well as other insights.

The most reported obstacle to repair was absence of spare parts at 32%, rising to 48% if the category is expanded to include cost-prohibitive spare parts. "No way to open product" was an irritating 17%. Lack of service documentation was 12%.
