How to use WoodRoar

Describe what you need in a single sentence. An AI model turns that sentence into the filters of the comparison, and you see those filters on the page. You can remove any of them before you continue.

• The AI writes no answer: it only sets up the search.
• It handles searches about the product only.
• Examples of sentences the filters can handle: "a light chainsaw for pruning around the garden", "a petrol chainsaw for cutting firewood", "a corded electric saw for occasional use", "a battery chainsaw from a brand I already own batteries for".

If you prefer to set things yourself, skip the sentence and go straight to the filters.

The quiz asks 5 questions about your use. The models that match at least half of your answers are kept, then ranked from best to least match. You get a short list ordered by how well it fits what you described, not by price or rating.

Every filter has a "?" next to it that explains what it does and what it changes in the list. Open it before you use a filter you are unsure about.

The filters and the sort are written into the page address. Copy the address and the person who opens it sees the same list, with the same filters and the same order.

Sorting changes the order of the models that are already in the list. It does not remove any of them. Like the filters, the sort is written into the page address, so a shared link keeps your order.

Put up to 4 models in the comparison table. Each row shows one figure, and the best figure in that row is highlighted, so you can see where one model is ahead of the others.

The comparison can be shared with a link. Send it to whoever helps you decide, or keep it for later.

Every product card has a heart. Tap it to add the model to your favorites, tap again to remove it. The list stays in your browser: we never receive it, and it is not tied to an account.

Open a model to see its detail panel. There you find the figures we hold for that model, the price with the date it was collected, and the badges if it has one.

• A model has at most one badge, computed within its category.
• Most popular goes to the model with the most customer reviews.
• Top rated goes to the best rating among the models with at least 100 customer reviews.
• The rule behind a badge shows when you hover over it.

A model without a price is out of stock. Prices come from the product pages on Amazon.com and are updated every 7 days.

When you have your short list, the links to Amazon let you check the current offer and buy. These are affiliate links: we earn a commission on a purchase, at no extra cost to you. No manufacturer pays to be listed or ranked higher.

A model enters the comparison when it reaches a rating of at least 3.5/5 and at least 5 customer reviews on Amazon. Stock is not a criterion for entering. Our data comes from Amazon.
