Also, a part of Repair Cafe is education.
Many people don't know why their 'cheap' purchase is a problem. It is a chance to show them why it failed, why it cannot be fixed economically, or at all, how better made things will last longer and often be more repairable, and how it isn't always about buying a cheap new thing.
Showing that an older thing, maybe second hand, can be repaired and maintained more easily, and kept working for a lot longer encourages more considered purchases.
We are often asked about better choices, which vacuum cleaners, toasters, power tools, etc. and we are developing a good feel about what to avoid. It is all information that helps the people who actively seek out repair.
