appliance-buying-guide

Cut through the model soup to buy the right appliance — the features that actually matter for you, the ones that are marketing, and when to buy. Use when asked which [fridge/washer/dishwasher] should I buy, help me choose an appliance, what features do I need, or is this appliance worth it. Produces a needs-based feature shortlist (must-have vs nice-to-have vs marketing fluff), fit and capacity checks, reliability and running-cost considerations, warranty/extended-warranty guidance, and timing tips — flagging to verify current models, prices, and specs before buying.

# Appliance Buying Guide

Appliance shopping is deliberately confusing: dozens of near-identical models, features you'll never use priced as premiums, and salespeople pushing extended warranties. This starts from what *you* actually need, separates the meaningful features from the marketing, checks it'll fit and perform, and times the purchase — so you buy the right machine, not the most upsold one.

## What This Skill Produces

- **A needs-based feature shortlist** — must-haves for your household vs. nice-to-haves vs. marketing fluff you can ignore
- **Fit & capacity checks** — measurements, capacity for your household, and installation/utility requirements
- **Reliability & running cost** — durability and repairability considerations, plus energy/water running costs over the life
- **Warranty guidance** — the standard warranty, and an honest take on whether an extended warranty is worth it for this category
- **Timing tips** — when this category tends to be discounted
- **A verify note** — models, specs, and prices change constantly; confirm current details before buying
