The " Repair Records" which can be found under the Fix-o-Meter is a great resource.
We are often asked on e-mail or Facebook what could be wrong with the person’s electrical item.
The “Insights” from Open Repair Alliance are great, but only covers 6 areas, where the Repair Records cover everything.
Can this tool be found public anywhere, so we can let out guests know what might be wrong with their “Tefal Iron” etc?
Hi Andreas
The download of the Open Repair Alliance data includes all the EEE product categories that we have in the Fixometer, as well as the field for brand:
Specifically for the example, Iron is a category (you can see some aggregate numbers on irons here).
So you could for example download the CSV from the page listed above, and then filter it by category and brand if you wanted to see all the listed problems. Or you could create pivot tables to see aggregate numbers.
Is that what you are looking for?
P.S. The pages included in the ‘Insights’ section is just those categories where we have layered on some extra analysis classifying fault types from free text.
Hey Neil,
I am aware of the big dataset on Open Repair Alliance, which I see as a real gem. 
I really like the “Insights” part of the website and would love to be able to use this before or during repairs. Right now, people can not use this tool from home, which I think is a bit of a shame. Therefore I would like to know if it could be found as a public resource. I mean, we can copy the work that you have been doing, but we would much rather support it by sharing a link to a public version. 
A-ha, I understand - so a publicly available tool to search and filter through the data.
That’s a good idea. I’ll have a chat with the team about it
