Some sites seem to really struggle with recommendations - after looking at 20+ washing machines, over a period of weeks, I bought one recently.

I'm a normal adult and now I will probably not even consider buying another washing machine for the next ten years, and yet my recommendations? More. Washing. Machines.

Many recommendation-sites are exactly like that - I read books 1-4 of a particular author, so of course I want the same genre, along with every other book by that same author.. Terrible.
