Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: June 13, 2026
HomeKitchen Picks is committed to complete transparency about how we operate and how this site is funded. This page explains our affiliate relationships in plain language.
How We’re Funded
HomeKitchen Picks is a participant in affiliate marketing programs (including Awin, Amazon Associates, and other partner networks). When you click on an affiliate link on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you.
This affiliate income is what allows us to:
- Buy every product we review at full retail price (we do not accept free review units)
- Maintain our testing kitchen and equipment
- Pay our reviewers and editors
- Keep the site free for all readers
What This Means for You
- You pay the same price — Whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer, the price is identical. The retailer pays us a commission from their margin, not from your pocket.
- Our reviews are never influenced by affiliate commissions — If a product is bad, we tell you. We’d rather lose a commission than lose your trust. Every review on this site reflects the honest, first-hand opinion of our testing team.
- We do not accept payment for coverage — No brand can pay us to be included in a review, receive a positive rating, or be featured on this site. Every product we test is chosen by our editorial team based on reader interest and market relevance.
How Affiliate Links Work
- When you click an affiliate link on our site, a cookie is placed in your browser
- If you make a qualifying purchase within the attribution window (typically 7-30 days, depending on the network), we may earn a commission
- The commission is paid by the merchant or affiliate network — not by you
- Your personal information remains with the merchant and is governed by their privacy policy, not ours
Affiliate Networks We Work With
| Network | Primary Use | Attribution Window |

| Awin | General kitchen and home products | 30 days |

| ShareASale | Specialty kitchen tools | 30 days |
| Impact Radius | Appliance brands | 30 days |
We may add or remove affiliate partners as needed. This page will be updated accordingly.
Our No-Sponsorship Policy
We do not accept:
- Free review units or product samples
- Sponsored posts or paid reviews
- Payment for inclusion in comparison roundups
- “Sponsored” content disguised as editorial
- Payment for links or placement
Every product we test is purchased with our own money at full retail price. Every review reflects our honest, independent assessment. And every recommendation is based on real testing, not commission rates.
If you have questions about our affiliate practices, please contact us.
