HOW IT WORKS / FOUR CHECKS

From a messy listing
to a useful decision.

ApplianceBench separates identity, evidence, calculation and price so you can see exactly what supports each answer.

01Resolve the exact product

Match the full model code, GTIN and market. Near-matches remain separate.

IDENTITY GATE
02Attach dated evidence

Keep dimensions, certification, safety and source dates with the record they describe.

SOURCE LAYER
03Make the maths editable

Turn certified energy into a cost using the tariff and assumptions you can inspect.

CALCULATION
04Compare current prices

Order exact-product retailer offers cheapest first, independent of commission.

PRICE SIGNAL
Start with the constraint

What do you need to get right?

Every category keeps physical fit, installation, household use and ownership cost visible before price.

Running-cost calculator

Energy labels measure. We translate.

A label’s annual kWh only becomes useful when it reflects the price you pay for electricity. Change the inputs—your calculation stays transparent.

UK-first launch

One market. Exact local prices and product variants.

The indexable catalogue is focused on UK models, GBP prices and retailer availability. International evidence stays attached to its source market and remains outside the UK index until it has genuinely localised product and price coverage.

Q+A LIBRARY / 32 ANSWERS

The questions smart buyers keep asking.

01Is ApplianceBench only for fridges?Using the data

No. The all-appliance search covers laundry, dishwashing, cooking, refrigeration, coffee, hot-water, small-kitchen and home-care products. Refrigeration has the richest structured demonstration set, while the wider Atlas catalogue is searched by product type, model or GTIN.

02Which appliance categories can I search?Using the data

You can search washing machines, washer-dryers, tumble dryers, dishwashers, fridges, freezers, hobs, ovens, cookers, microwaves, air fryers, kettles, coffee machines, water boilers, vacuum cleaners and other appliance categories represented in Atlas.

03Can I compare completely different appliance types?Using the data

You can search every category from one place, but meaningful ranking stays within products that do the same job and share comparable fields. A dishwasher should not be ranked against a fridge simply because both have an energy value.

04Why do some appliance categories show fewer specifications?Trust

Source coverage differs by market and product type. ApplianceBench displays the fields supported by the exact record and leaves unavailable dimensions, energy, capacity or safety evidence blank instead of borrowing them from a similar model.

05What can I ask the ApplianceBench data?Using the data

You can ask practical questions about fit, capacity, noise, certified energy use, estimated running cost, installation type and current retailer coverage. The tool answers from the comparison records on the page and shows the records behind its answer.

06Is Ask the data an AI chatbot?Using the data

No. It is a transparent evidence query tool. It recognises common buying questions, applies visible filters and calculations to the available records, and returns the matching products. It does not invent specifications or fill gaps with guesses.

07Why does the answer sometimes say there is not enough data?Using the data

A useful comparison needs the same field for every product being compared. When a dimension, price or certification value is missing, ApplianceBench keeps the gap visible rather than assuming a value.

08Can I ask which product is best?Using the data

Ask a more specific version of best, such as quietest, lowest certified energy use, largest capacity or narrowest body. ApplianceBench avoids a single universal score because the right choice depends on your space, household and priorities.

09How do I compare two exact models?Using the data

Use the Compare page or include both model numbers in a search. Compare body dimensions, capacity, annual energy, noise and current prices side by side. Always keep the full suffix because regional variants can differ.

10Why is the complete model number so important?Products

A shared product name can cover several capacities, colours, markets or revisions. The complete model code and, where available, the GTIN barcode help attach prices and evidence to the exact item.

11What is a GTIN?Products

A GTIN is the number normally represented by a retail barcode. It is one of the strongest signals for joining a retailer listing to the correct product record, although model codes and market information are still checked.

12Why is a product missing?Products

It may not yet have enough identity or category evidence to pass the quality gate. Missing products remain missing until they can be matched safely; a visually similar or near-name product is not substituted.
