You might have noticed Lustre’s brand new look. The team has been busy listening to feedback from our 365k+ member community and building some nifty new upgrades. We hope these changes will make it even easier for you to find the best products instantly.

Top 3 recommendations

After you search for a product type on Amazon or Google, Lustre will now show you the top 3 products that are worthy of your consideration based on our extensive analysis. We’ll show you products that are:

  • Most recommended on the Web — The product with the most accolades from our trusted sources.
  • Cheapest worth buying — The cheapest product that still meets our bar for quality.
  • Worth the splurge — The most highly recommended product at the premium end of the category.

If you’re running short on time and want to simplify your shopping and research process, these 3 recommendations will give you a sense for the best products at noteworthy price points.

Powerful new way to explore

While the top 3 recommendations give you a quick overview of the very best products, we also wanted to enable people to take control and do the research themselves. You can now dig deeper into a category by exploring at any price point to get full details and competitors. The crowns represent the best products at their price points and the white dots are their competitors. The tiniest dots are all the products we researched but don’t highly recommend.

A fresh new look

Shopping should be easy and fun. With the new Lustre design, we tried to do just that. We hope that the simplified UI, splashes of colors, and playful icons will make your experience even more delightful. Along with the browser extension we have also updated the Lustre web page. Just visit lustre.ai at any time and begin your shopping journey.

We built Lustre because no one in today’s commerce system cares about helping you find what’s best for you in the endless product options. Companies like Amazon and Google make billions of dollars by filling your search results with brands that pay to appear first — regardless of their product’s quality.

That forces you to do hours of research — opening 50+ tabs to compare products, scrolling through endless reviews — to get the best value for your money. We created Lustre to remove this burden by doing the research for you, making it effortless to find the best product at its lowest price.

Lustre will always tell you what’s best for you, even if it means recommending products that don’t earn us commissions. We care more about being honest than we do about making money.

Ultimately, our mission is to make savvy shopping simple. That’s why we’re constantly innovating to make Lustre more helpful for you.

With this latest version of Lustre we have tried to build an incredibly versatile shopping tool that still has a lot of room to grow. We’re super excited to share it with you. We’ll most likely break some things in the process, but we hope you’ll be patient with us and let us know what we can improve.

If you’d like to share any feedback with us please email us at feedback@lustre.ai. We promise we’ll read every bit of it.
