What Appliance Swap changes

The matching appliance in your photo is replaced with the one you uploaded
It arrives at the scale and in the position the original occupied
You can run the same photo again with the next one on your shortlist

There is no example gallery on this page yet. We would rather show you nothing than show you a picture this tool did not produce, so run it on your own kitchen and judge the real thing.

Put the appliance in your kitchen before you pay for it

The range looked magnificent under four showroom lights, against cabinets you do not own. This page explains what Appliance Swap does. To put it in your own kitchen, upload a photo on the home page.

How it works on your own kitchen

Photograph the fridge, oven, hood or range you are considering, wherever you found it.

The matching appliance in your kitchen is replaced with it. Nothing else changes.

Try an appliance in your kitchen

Opens the tool on the home page. Bring one photo of your kitchen.

The showroom is lying to you, politely

The range looked magnificent. It was lit from four directions, standing against cabinets in a color you do not own, in a room the size of your ground floor, with nothing on the counter.

Your kitchen is none of those things. And the question you actually need answered is not "is this a good range", it is "does this range look right in my room, next to my cabinets, in my light".

That is the question this answers. Photograph the appliance, upload a photo of your kitchen, and the matching appliance in your photo is replaced with the one you are considering.

What it changes

One appliance. The fridge, the oven, the hood, the range, the dishwasher: whichever one matches what you uploaded. It arrives at the scale and in the position the original occupied.

Everything else stays: the cabinets, the handles, the counters, the backsplash, the floor, the other appliances, the camera angle and the direction of the light.

What it will not do

It will not tell you whether it fits. Fit is a measuring job: get the manufacturer's specification, measure the gap, check the door swing and check the clearance in front. A picture that looks right is not evidence that a 900mm range goes into an 850mm space.

It also will not tell you whether the appliance is any good. Read the reviews. This answers the appearance question and nothing else, which is fine, because the appearance question is the one you cannot resolve from a specification sheet.

The comparisons worth running

Stainless against black against panel-ready. The three finishes look completely different against a warm cabinet color and nearly identical against a cool one. This is the single most useful comparison to run.

A visible hood against a concealed one. The hood is the most sculptural object in most kitchens, and the decision is usually made from a catalogue photograph of a wall that is not yours.

Freestanding against slide-in. The difference is a strip of counter and a set of edges, and it changes the run more than people expect.

Two sizes of the same fridge. Not for fit, which you measure. For proportion, which you cannot.

How to photograph the appliance

Get the whole appliance in the frame, front on.
Even light. A showroom spotlight down one side makes the finish hard to read.
Nothing standing in front of it.
A product photo from the manufacturer's own listing works well, and is usually cleaner than anything you can shoot in a store.

One at a time

Run one appliance per generation and compare the results side by side.

If you swap the range and the fridge and the hood in one go and dislike what comes back, you have learned nothing about which of the three was the problem. Change one thing, look, decide, then change the next. It sounds slower and it is much faster.

Questions people ask

Does the appliance photo have to be good?

It has to be clear and show the whole appliance. A phone photo taken in a showroom works. A product shot from a listing works better, because it is lit evenly and nothing is in front of it.

Will it tell me whether it fits?

No. That is a measuring job and you should do it with a tape measure and the manufacturer specification. This answers the other question: whether a stainless range next to your cream cabinets looks the way you are hoping, or whether the black one is the right call.

Can I test several at once?

Run them one at a time on the same photo and compare the results side by side. That is more useful than one picture with everything changed, because each result answers exactly one question.

Which plan includes it?

Every paid plan. Every plan comes with 30 days money back and one-click cancellation, and failed generations never cost you credits.

Put it in your own room first

Photograph the appliance you are considering, upload a photo of your kitchen, and look at the two of them together before you pay for either.
