Affiliate disclosure

1. How this site is funded

Smartkitchengear is reader-supported. When you buy through links on this site, we may earn a commission from the retailer — at no additional cost to you. That commission is how the site pays for its hosting and the time spent maintaining the comparison tables.

2. Amazon Associates

Smartkitchengear is preparing to participate in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Our participation is not active yet. Links to Amazon on this site do not yet carry our affiliate tag, so we currently earn nothing from them. Once our participation is active, qualifying purchases made through links on this site may earn us a commission, and this section will then carry Amazon's standard statement: "As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases."

3. What "paid link" means

Links marked "Paid link. We may earn a commission." are affiliate links. The mark sits next to the link itself, not buried on this page, so you can tell before you click.

4. Commissions never change a score

Spec scores are calculated from listing specifications with a published formula. Every product in a category earns the same way when bought through our links, and no brand can pay for placement, a better score or a better best-for line.

5. Prices and availability

We do not display prices, because prices and availability on Amazon change without notice. The price you see on Amazon at checkout is the price that applies.

6. Reviews and ratings

Scores on this site are our own arithmetic from specification sheets — they are not Amazon star ratings and not a summary of customer reviews, and they are not presented as such.

7. Questions
