How does Natasha Nicholes's method in using Kenmore Alfie for shopping outperform conventional techniques?

When I use Kenmore Alfie, I’m basically outsourcing the annoying research part of shopping instead of doing it all myself.

With conventional shopping, I’d:

• Open 5–10 tabs
• Read or skim tons of reviews
• Compare prices across sites
• Second‑guess my choice

With Alfie, I:

• Press the button or use the app
• Describe what I want (for example, “8 qt pressure cooker that can steam and pressure can”)
• Wait while a human on the back end compares options and sends me a curated set of three choices, often with deals and even from non‑Sears retailers, plus free shipping in my pressure cooker example.

So it “outperforms” by:

• Saving time on comparison shopping and reviews
• Reducing decision fatigue by narrowing to three tailored picks
• Learning my preferences over time, so results get better the more I use it
• Making ordering as simple as “Alfie fetch” instead of a full checkout process

What part of your shopping routine do you find the most frustrating right now?
