Do your affiliate commissions make you biased?
Our writers and editors are never made aware of which companies may have established affiliate relationships with our business team prior to making their picks.
If readers choose to buy the products we recommend as a result of our research, analysis, interviews, and testing then our work is often (but not always) supported through an affiliate commission from the retailer when they make a purchase.
If readers return their purchases because they’re dissatisfied or the recommendation is bad, we make nothing. There is no incentive for us to pick inferior products or respond to pressure from manufacturers—in fact, it is quite the opposite.
We think that is a fair system that keeps us committed to serving our readers first.
The most important thing to us is the trust we have from readers. If we were to recommend something because we are biased, readers like you would not support our work.
We also invite you to fact-check our pieces which carefully outline the time, logic, and energy spent researching, interviewing experts, and testing the products. This process can be very time consuming. Each guide plainly lays out the reasoning behind our picks so you can judge for yourself.
