Making repair the default—that is our mission

Fixblueprint is an independent site that helps people make clearer choices about electronics. We publish repairability scores for consumer devices using objective criteria—without a manufacturer-sponsored agenda.

We believe a product is only truly great if you can maintain and fix it yourself. A ten-year-old device beats a disposable one—for you, your budget and the environment.

Our independence

Fixblueprint does not accept payments from makers for higher scores, favourable placement or promotion. Ratings follow our methodology and the technical evidence publicly available.

We participate in the Amazon Associates Program, which means we may earn commissions on qualifying purchases via our links. That does not shape our scores or editorial stance: affiliate-linked devices can—and often do—score poorly.

Our Sources

Our scores synthesise authoritative repairability signals from:

iFixit
The reference for teardown journalism and quantitative repair assessments. Devices are dismantled systematically with every subsystem documented.
OEM programmes
Official repair programmes (for example Apple Self Service Repair, Samsung Repair Mode, Dell ProSupport) plus spare‑parts catalogues and policy updates.
EU Ecodesign
European ecodesign rules set baseline repair obligations for electronics. Where compliance data exists we factor it into the scorecard.
Community repair
Hands‑on technicians sharing knowledge through iFixit forums, speciality YouTube creators and independent repair labs.

Our Values

🔍

Transparency

We document how ratings are assembled so readers can inspect the reasoning—nothing opaque, nothing paywalled behind marketing.

⚖️

Independence

Manufacturers cannot buy a better score on Fixblueprint. Points are earned with evidence—not sponsorship.

🌱

Durability

Repair beats disposal. Our work encourages longer service life for gear you already own.

🛠️

Empowerment

Everyone deserves practical access to diagnostics, parts knowledge and tooling—we amplify organisations that uphold that principle.

Think we got a score wrong?

We aim to keep every rating current and factual. If you have sources that should shift a verdict, reach out—we welcome corrections.
