How is the size-margin score calculated?

Every cavity and appliance pair gets a deterministic 0-100 score. The score factors:

The score ranks dimensional margin only. The separate fit verdict tells you whether clearances came from verified manufacturer evidence, estimated defaults, or incomplete data.

Why standard e-commerce
fails appliance buyers

1

Measure your cavity

Enter width, height, depth in millimetres. Optionally add your narrowest doorway for delivery validation.

2

Practical fit math, with manual checks

The default search uses a practical clearance buffer for real-world measurement tolerance. Brand-specific manufacturer figures are shown as advisory notes, not as a hidden hard filter.

3

Check retailer links and running cost

We show verified retailer product links where available, plus estimated energy running cost. Product prices are shown only when we have separately captured price data.

Original appliance fit utility

A measurement tool first, not a scraped price list.

FitAppliance is built around a practical question Australian shoppers ask before ordering: will this appliance physically fit my cavity, doorway and ventilation constraints? The answer is calculated from millimetre dimensions, manual and retailer evidence, and a fail-closed data process that rejects unclear PDF claims instead of filling gaps with guesses.

Product links are a next step after the fit check, not the core content. The site keeps affiliate links, advertising, methodology notes and editorial standards separate so a reviewer can verify what is original utility content and what is monetisation.

Manual-backed guides Five long-form guides cover fridge clearance, dishwasher cavities, dryer ventilation, washing-machine doorway access and general appliance sizing.
Evidence-labelled results Cards distinguish Evidence Pending, Dimensions Verified and Retailer Spec, with Verified Fit only when complete installation evidence is present.
Indexed page families Brand, cavity, doorway, product and comparison pages link back to methodology and guide hubs instead of standing alone as doorway pages.
Affiliate and contact details ABN: 46 168 974 169, hello@fitappliance.com.au, privacy, terms, affiliate disclosure and public correction routes are visible from the footer and advertiser-review pages.
Real-world measurement context

Fit checks show the room problem before the product link.

The homepage now exposes the same evidence path used in the app: measure the cavity, check the narrowest doorway, then confirm manufacturer manual clearance notes before opening retailer pages.

  • Room-first context for cavity width, height and depth.
  • Delivery path notes before purchase intent.
  • Manual evidence and affiliate disclosure kept visible for review.

Affiliate Disclosure

Affiliate relationships are disclosed next to purchase links where they appear. Rankings are based on fit, energy rating, user-selected sorting and verified retailer-link signals, not commission rates.
