Affiliate Disclosure

We believe you should always know how TheGadgetHelper earns money, so here is the full, plain-language explanation.

Last updated: October 26, 2026

In short: TheGadgetHelper earns a small commission when you buy through some links on our site. It costs you nothing extra, and it never changes what we recommend.

What this means

TheGadgetHelper is a reader-supported website. We review and compare gadgets for the home, garden, and kitchen, and some of the product links in our articles are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the seller.

The price you pay stays exactly the same. The commission comes from the seller’s marketing budget, not from your pocket.

How affiliate links work

  1. You read one of our reviews or buying guides.
  2. You click a product link that takes you to the seller’s website, such as Amazon.
  3. If you buy within a set period, the seller pays us a small percentage of the sale.
  4. That income helps pay for hosting, research, and new content.

Our editorial independence

Commissions never decide what we write. We follow these rules every time:

  • We recommend a product because it is useful, not because it pays more.
  • We share both the pros and the cons of every product.
  • We never accept payment in exchange for a positive review.
  • If a product is not worth buying, we say so, even when an affiliate link exists.

Prices and availability can change, so please check the seller’s page before you buy.

Amazon Associates

TheGadgetHelper participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to let sites earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

We may also join other affiliate programs in the future. Whenever we use affiliate links, this disclosure applies to them as well.

How we mark affiliate links

Many of our articles contain affiliate links, and we add a short disclosure near the top of those articles. Our links to sellers use the sponsored link attribute, as search engines recommend.

Your choice

You are never required to use our links. If you prefer, you can search for the product directly on the seller’s website. We are grateful when you do use them, because it helps keep this site free and independent.
