Affiliate Disclosure — Home Fix Reviews

Short version: We earn commissions when you buy through our links. This never affects which products we recommend or how we rank them — we only rank products by test score.

What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing means we earn a small commission when you click a link on our site and make a purchase through a retailer. The price you pay is the same whether you click our link or navigate to the retailer directly — we receive a portion of the retailer's margin, not an additional charge to you.

Who We Work With

Home Fix Reviews participates in affiliate programs with major retailers including:

Amazon Associates Program
Home Depot Affiliate Program
Lowe's Affiliate Program
Other home improvement and tool retailers

How This Affects Our Reviews

It doesn't — and here's why we're confident saying that:

We purchase all products ourselves. We don't accept free samples or manufacturer-provided units. This removes any implied obligation to write positively.
Rankings are determined solely by test score. No manufacturer can pay for a higher position. Our scoring rubric is documented on our How We Test page.
We earn commissions on all ranked products equally. Whether you buy the #1 pick or the #7 pick, our commission rate is similar. We have no financial incentive to push one product over another.
We write honest negatives. Products get knocked in scores for real problems. A product that earns commissions still gets a poor score if it performed poorly.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with FTC guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose our affiliate relationships clearly. Where affiliate links appear in an article, you will see a disclosure at the top of that page or in the product card. The footer disclosure on every page of this site also serves as a site-wide disclosure.

Questions?

If you have any questions about how our affiliate relationships work, please contact us. We're happy to explain anything.
