Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: October 14, 2026

Better Loaf is an independent website that publishes research-based guides to bread machines, home baking equipment, and non-toxic kitchen gear. We keep the site running through affiliate commissions. This page explains how that works, in plain English.

What affiliate links are

Some links on Better Loaf are affiliate links. If you click one of these links and buy something, we may earn a small commission from the retailer. This never costs you anything extra. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or not.

Amazon Associates Program

Better Loaf 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 I earn from qualifying purchases.

Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. Better Loaf is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or affiliated with Amazon beyond our participation in its Associates Program.

Other affiliate programs

We may also join affiliate programs run by other retailers or brands. The same rule applies: if a link earns us a commission, it costs you nothing extra, and we tell you about it.

How we choose what to recommend

• Commissions do not decide our picks. We recommend products based on in-depth research and what we would tell a friend to buy.
• We tell you the downsides. Every product we recommend has weaknesses, and we list them.
• We say how we know. Our reviews are research-based: we analyze manufacturer specifications, manuals, published materials information, and verified owner feedback. We don't claim hands-on testing we haven't done. If we ever test a product ourselves, the article will say so clearly.
• Brands do not pay for placement or reviews. If that ever changes for a specific article, the article will clearly say "Sponsored" at the top.

You can read our full research process on our How We Research page.

Prices and availability

Prices, availability, and product details are set by the retailer and can change at any time. Please check the retailer's website for the current price before you buy.

Where you will see this disclosure

You will find a short version of this disclosure at the top of every article that contains affiliate links, and a summary in the footer of every page.
