What This Means
Grow Appliance participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help us keep the lights on, fund our testing, and continue delivering honest, in-depth reviews of automated indoor growing systems.
Affiliate relationships are a standard and transparent way for content publishers to generate revenue. We want you to know upfront that some of the links you find on Grow Appliance are affiliate links, so you can make informed decisions as you browse our content.
This disclosure applies to all pages, reviews, comparison guides, and recommendation lists published on Grow Appliance. Wherever possible, we also include a short reminder notice near affiliate links throughout the site.
Amazon Associates Program
Grow Appliance 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.
As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. This means that if you click an Amazon link on our site and buy a product, we receive a small percentage of the sale. The price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our link or navigate to Amazon directly.
Our participation in the Amazon Associates Program does not influence which products we choose to review, how we score them, or what conclusions we reach. We review products because they are relevant to the indoor growing community, not because they offer us a financial advantage.
Our Editorial Standards
At Grow Appliance, our mission is to help indoor gardening enthusiasts find the best automated growing systems for their space, budget, and goals. That mission depends entirely on your trust, and we take that responsibility seriously.
Every review on Grow Appliance is based on genuine research, hands-on testing where possible, verified user feedback, and careful analysis of product specifications. We never accept payment to write a positive review, and we never allow a brand or manufacturer to approve or alter our content before publication.
If a product performs poorly, we say so. If a highly promoted system fails to live up to its marketing claims, we report that honestly. The presence of an affiliate link on a page does not mean we endorse that product unconditionally. It simply means a purchase through that link may earn us a commission.
We may also receive products from manufacturers for review purposes. When this happens, we clearly disclose it within the relevant review. Receiving a complimentary product does not guarantee a favorable review. Our assessments remain independent regardless of how we obtained the item.
Questions
We believe transparency builds trust, and we are always happy to answer questions about how Grow Appliance operates, how we choose products to review, or how our affiliate relationships work.
If you have any questions about this affiliate disclosure or about our editorial process, please reach out to us through the Contact page. We will do our best to respond promptly and give you a straight answer.
This disclosure was last reviewed and updated in 2024. We will update it whenever our affiliate relationships or editorial practices change in any meaningful way.
