Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: October 16, 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

At KitchenAid Hub, we believe in complete transparency with our readers. This page explains our affiliate relationships and how we earn revenue to keep this website running and provide you with valuable, free content about KitchenAid products and kitchen appliances.

Amazon Associates Program Participation

KitchenAid Hub is a participant 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 and affiliated Amazon websites.

What This Means for You

When you click on certain product links on our website and make a purchase on Amazon, we may earn a small commission from Amazon at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our links or go directly to Amazon.

Important Points:

✓ No Extra Cost: You pay the same price on Amazon whether you use our affiliate links or not
✓ Amazon Sets Prices: We have no control over Amazon’s pricing
✓ You Support Us: Using our links helps support our website and allows us to continue creating free content
✓ No Obligation: You are never obligated to purchase anything through our links

Amazon International Sites

We participate in Amazon Associates programs across multiple international Amazon sites, including but not limited to:

  • Amazon.com (United States)
  • Amazon.ca (Canada)
  • Amazon.co.uk (United Kingdom)
  • Amazon.de (Germany)
  • Amazon.fr (France)
  • Amazon.it (Italy)
  • Amazon.es (Spain)
  • Amazon.co.jp (Japan)
  • Amazon.com.au (Australia)
  • Amazon.in (India)

Depending on your location, you may be directed to your local Amazon site, and we may earn a commission from purchases on these international Amazon platforms.

How Affiliate Marketing Works

The Process

Commission Structure

  • Commissions typically range from 1% to 10% depending on the product category
  • We earn a commission on qualifying purchases made within 24 hours of clicking our link
  • If you add items to your Amazon cart within 24 hours but purchase later (within 90 days), we may still earn a commission
  • Amazon sets the commission rates, and we have no control over them

What We DON’T Earn Commission On

We do not earn commissions on:

  • Amazon Prime membership fees
  • Amazon Music, Video, or Kindle Unlimited subscriptions
  • Digital content (ebooks, movies, music downloads)
  • Gift cards
  • Certain restricted product categories

Our Editorial Independence

Honest Reviews and Recommendations

Our affiliate relationships do NOT influence our editorial content, product reviews, or recommendations.

We are committed to providing:

  • Honest Assessments: We share our genuine opinions about products
  • Unbiased Reviews: We highlight both pros and cons of products
  • Transparent Testing: When we test products, we share real results
  • Reader-First Approach: We recommend products we believe will benefit our readers
  • Critical Analysis: We’re not afraid to criticize products, even if they’re available through our affiliate links

Products We Recommend

We only recommend products that:

✓ We believe offer good value for money
✓ Have positive customer reviews and ratings
✓ Meet quality and performance standards
✓ Are appropriate for the intended use case
✓ We would purchase or recommend to family and friends

If we don’t believe a product is worth buying, we won’t recommend it—regardless of potential commission earnings.

Other Affiliate Programs

In addition to Amazon Associates, KitchenAid Hub may participate in other affiliate marketing programs, including:

Retailer Affiliate Programs

  • Best Buy Affiliate Program
  • Target Affiliate Network
  • Walmart Affiliate Program

The same principles apply: We earn a commission at no extra cost to you, and our editorial independence is maintained.

✓ We maintain editorial independence in our review
✓ We provide honest assessments regardless of the product being free
