Before any purchase over about £100
Step by step
Write down what you need
List your budget, must-haves and deal-breakers. For example: 'under £400, quiet, fits a 60cm gap'.
Ask for a comparison table
Use an AI assistant with web search on, and paste this prompt with your shortlist (or ask it to suggest one).
Prompt to copyI'm choosing a [product type]. My budget is [amount], I must have [must-haves] and I want to avoid [deal-breakers]. Compare these options: [product 1], [product 2], [product 3] (or suggest 3 if I haven't listed any). Make a table with: price range, key specs, warranty, what owners praise, what owners complain about most, and a link to the manufacturer's page. Then tell me which fits my needs best and why. Say where information was hard to find or might be out of date.Check price and specs at the source
Prices and model numbers change often. Confirm the details on the manufacturer's or retailer's page before you buy.
Read a few real reviews
Skim three or four recent owner reviews of your top choice to make sure the complaints the AI found are real and still relevant.
What you get
| Model | Price | Noise | Warranty | Common complaint | | Brook 7 | £380 | 44dB | 2 yrs | Slow eco cycle | | Vela S | £349 | 47dB | 5 yrs | Flimsy cutlery tray | Best fit: Vela S - under budget, longest warranty, and the tray issue is minor.
Tips
- Ask it to flag models that have been replaced by newer versions, so you don't pay full price for an old one.
