The new EU “Right to Repair”: How to save with the Device Saver Bonus in Vienna

Avoid electronic waste and save money at the same time: This is the goal of the new Device Saver Bonus, which has replaced the old repair voucher in Austria. Since January 2026, private individuals can save significantly on the repair of household and electronic devices. But which devices are really eligible for funding, and what do you need to look out for in Vienna? We shed light on the matter.

What is the Device Saver Bonus and how much can you save?

The principle is simple and digital: The state covers 50% of the gross repair costs, up to a maximum of 130 euros. Even if you only want to have your device checked, the cost estimate is subsidized by 50% (up to a maximum of 30 euros). There is no limit to the number of vouchers per person – so you can apply for a separate voucher for each defective device in your household.

Which devices are subsidized (and which are not)?

The criteria have been tightened compared to the old repair voucher. Classic household appliances as well as IT and consumer electronics are subsidized. At CLICK INTERNET, this primarily concerns:

Laptops, MacBooks & Tablets (e.g. iPads)
Computer accessories & monitors

Important for smartphone owners: Mobile phones and smartphones are excluded from the Device Saver Bonus according to the guidelines. But don't worry: At CLICK INTERNET, we repair your iPhone or Samsung Galaxy even without government funding at the fairest and most transparent prices in all of Vienna!
