How we track stock (and why you can trust it)

Real data, never simulated

We read availability directly from each tracked retailer's public pages, automatically and throughout the day. Every reading is timestamped. We don't estimate or fill gaps: if we don't have the data, it shows blank — never invented.

Which sources we track now

• Amazon.co.uk — the channel where the PortaSplit sells out fastest.
• Appliances Direct — major UK appliance retailer, with stock and price on the listing itself.
• Aircon Direct — UK air-conditioning specialist, stock and price on the product page.
• Joybuy — online marketplace shipping the electriQ PortaSplit across the UK.

How we validate a reading

We match on the exact product reference, not a similar title. We check the price is plausible and reject absurd values. If a retailer blocks us, we show 'no data' rather than guessing a status.

Real time is reserved for the alert

The dashboard is live and we never hold stock data back. Turbo earns its price on delivery speed instead: a Telegram push straight to your phone, and checks every minute at peak times rather than every five. Transparent, and no artificial handicap on the free tier.

Independence and affiliation

Some retailer links are affiliate links (e.g. Amazon.co.uk) and may earn us a commission at no cost to you. That commission never changes what we show or the order of retailers: they're sorted by availability and price, never by commission.
