Review: Chambal.com
posted by: Alex N
Chambal.com is a website that allows you to compare prices on a variety of different products. The types of products that are available include books and electronics. If you are looking for a good price on a product that falls under these categories then this is a great website. It searches through other websites looking for the best prices on an item. The search results include a good number of websites including Ebay and PriceGrabber. This shows that Chambal uses a lot of web sources to gather the best prices.
If you are a college student looking for a good deal on textbooks then you should use Chambal. I found a calculus book that cost me 150 dollars for about 10 dollars using Chambal. If I found out about this website before then it would have saved me a lot of money. However it has saved me money this semester when I had to buy new textbooks. It’s a great tool if you want to save money on any product. The search results are concise and immediately show the prices without the need to open new pages like some other websites require. It also shows the ISBN number if you are searching for a book so you can make sure if you’re getting the correct edition. You can compare prices for other products like music and movies. The website offers a good variety of products to compare prices despite some needed variety in the electronics section.
The problem with Chambal is that there isn’t much variety in the electronics section; you can only compare prices to cameras and camcorders. There are a lot more products that fall under the electronics category that can be searched for like televisions and MP3 players. Chambal’s format isn’t so great either, it isn’t really aesthetically pleasing and not really that efficient. In my opinion and standard menu-bar and content similar to amazon.com would be better. Besides these minor problems Chambal is a great website if you are looking for a great deal.

That site is very poor, and offers a terrible user experience. More thought needs to be put into this interface.
