About Idealo

Idealo is a price comparison platform founded in Germany that lists products from a broad network of online retailers and marketplaces, allowing shoppers to compare prices and offers for the same item in one place. The site covers categories including electronics, fashion, home and garden, sports equipment and household goods, and visitors can filter results by price, availability and merchant rating. Idealo does not sell products itself, instead directing visitors to the retailer's own website to complete a purchase, and it earns its income from merchants who pay for referred traffic.

The UK site offers price alerts that notify users when a product they are watching falls in price. Users can also read reviews of retailers and products, which helps them judge a seller before following a link through to checkout.

Used it for a new washing machine

I bought a washing machine through the site after comparing a few listings. The price alert came through when it dropped, which was handy. The seller I picked shipped it within two days and it arrived in one piece with the install instructions in the box. Pretty painless from start to finish.

Needed a new fridge freezer fast

Our fridge freezer packed up on a Sunday so I needed a replacement sorted quickly. I searched the site and sorted by next day delivery, which narrowed things right down. Found one that was in stock and arrived when they said it would.

quick and easy, one small thing

Quick and easy to use on my phone, found a drill for a good price. The seller's delivery was a day later than the listing said, which was a bit annoying. Otherwise no real complaints.

really good for comparing

Honestly one of the best sites for this. Found a set of speakers way cheaper than the usual places and the link took me straight to the seller. Checkout was quick too, nothing to fill in twice. Would use it again no bother.

Better than checking each shop

Compared to going round the shops one by one, this was far quicker. I used it to check a set of garden tools and the price difference between sellers was over ten pounds for the same item. Easy to filter by delivery cost too, which I always forget to check elsewhere. Good value for the time saved.

A better way than the shops

Compared with trailing round the high street, this was a far more sensible way to shop for a sewing machine. I could see prices from several sellers at once and read the delivery terms before deciding. It was all laid out clearly and I didn't feel rushed at any point. I'm pleased with how it went.

quick and easy on my phone

Honestly the best bit is the filters, you can sort by price and it just works on my phone. Got a cheap pair of earbuds and they turned up fast. Would use again.

Compared with the supermarket

Compared with the supermarket website, I found this much easier to use for buying a kettle. The prices were clearly set out and the delivery options were shown before I paid. I was pleased with the choice and the whole thing was done in good time.

needed a cheap way to compare boilers

We needed to replace our old boiler before winter and I had no idea where to start, so I used the comparison site to line up the prices from different installers. It showed the same unit from several sellers side by side, and the delivery times were right there too. Saved us a fair bit of money and a lot of phoning around.

Needed a cheap laptop for uni

I needed a cheap laptop for uni so I searched here and sorted by price. Found one for a lot less than the shops and the filter for specs made it easy to check. A few sellers wanted more for delivery than I expected, so I had to pick carefully. Got it in the end and it's been fine.

prices were fine, nothing special

Prices were decent and I found a lawnmower cheaper than the big chains. The checkout was slow and the site kept logging me out halfway through. It did the job in the end.

First time using it, bought a bike lock

This was my first time using the site and I bought a bike lock after comparing a few options. The listing gave me the make, the weight and the price including postage, so there were no surprises. I picked a seller with good delivery times and it turned up two days later. The lock is solid and the whole thing took about ten minutes from start to finish.

ordered a coffee machine

Ordered a coffee machine after comparing a few listings. The seller I chose had it out for delivery the next morning, which was great. The box had a small dent on one corner but the machine itself was fine.

nicer than going on Amazon

Compared with checking Amazon myself, this was way quicker for finding a laptop bag because it pulls up the listings from loads of shops at once. The bit that bugged me was that one of the sellers I clicked through to wanted me to sign up before I could see the final price, which was annoying. Once I got past that the delivery came when they said and the price was fine. Might still check the shop directly next time.

been using it for years

I've been using this site for years now, mainly for tools and bits for the house. Why I first started was getting tired of paying more than I needed to in local shops. The listings are clear and the price comparison has saved me a fair amount over the years. Ordering has always been straightforward and the goods have generally arrived when promised.

The seller page was confusing

The seller page that came up first confused me the most. It was hard to tell which deliveries were included in the price and which were extra. I had to go through three screens before finding out the postage cost. The item itself arrived fine but it took longer than I'd like to sort out.

Good for a quick price check

Good for a quick price check before buying anything big. I used it to check a set of bed sheets and the cheapest option was a fair bit below the high street. Simple layout and no faff at checkout.

bought a pair of speakers

I bought a pair of bookshelf speakers through the site after comparing a few sellers. The listing photos looked a bit better than the real thing, nothing major, but the colour was a touch different. They arrived two days after the estimate and were well packed. Works fine and sounds good for the money.
