Hi OzBargainers,
I’m the creator of a new tool called Good Boots, and I wanted to share it with the community. We're currently taking sign-ups for our waitlist before our MVP launch.
We all know the "cheapest" fridge isn’t always the cheapest fridge once you factor in running costs, but doing the math on the fly is a headache. Good Boots is built to act like a comparison aggregator (think Compare the Market), but specifically for the Total Cost of Ownership of appliances.
Instead of just sorting by the lowest sticker price, the platform calculates the actual long-term cost by factoring in:
Energy Consumption: Projected electricity costs over the lifespan of the appliance.
Maintenance & Repairs: Average repair frequency and warranty coverage gaps.
Depreciation & Resale: What it will actually be worth when you upgrade.
Finance Costs: If you're paying it off over time.
Collection Costs: The cheapest place to buy, explicitly factoring in the opportunity cost of your travel time and fuel to go pick it up.
How it works:
We wanted to keep the UI clean, so there are no tedious data entry forms. You just use simple range sliders and icon toggles to set your preferences (e.g., washing machine capacity, front vs. top loader, etc.), and we do the heavy lifting to find the true cheapest option.
Current Scope:
For the MVP, we are strictly locked to major household appliances (we may look at groceries down the track, but keeping it focused for now).
If you're interested in testing it out and saving some money on your next whitegoods purchase, you can join the waitlist here:
This shit again… You are not the "creator" of anything other than a prompt for AI to build from.
