⚠️ Affiliate Disclaimer
Last updated: February 2026
What Are Affiliate Links?
Hotkitch.com participates in affiliate marketing programmes. This means that when you click certain links to products or services on our site and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the retailer.
These commissions are how we fund our testing, research, and editorial work. They allow us to buy the appliances we review rather than relying on manufacturer loans.
Which Programmes Do We Use?
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
We currently participate in the following affiliate programmes:
- Amazon Associates — our primary affiliate programme. Most product links on Hotkitch point to Amazon.
- Other retailers — we may occasionally link to other retailers with affiliate relationships, which will be clearly identified.
Does This Affect Our Reviews?
No. Our editorial process is completely independent of our affiliate relationships. We do not:
- Accept payment from manufacturers or retailers in exchange for positive reviews
- Allow affiliate commissions to influence which products we recommend
- Accept free products in exchange for coverage (we purchase everything we test)
If a product performs poorly in our tests, we say so — regardless of whether it has an affiliate link or not.
How to Identify Affiliate Links
On Hotkitch, affiliate links typically go through our link shortener and appear as hotkitch.com/go/product-name. These redirect to the relevant retailer page.
You will also see buttons labelled “Check on Amazon →” or “Amazon →” — these are affiliate links.
Your Purchase Price
Using our affiliate links costs you nothing extra. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you go through our link or navigate to the retailer directly. The commission comes from the retailer’s margin, not from an added charge to you.
