Affiliate Disclosure

How Prep Brook makes money, and why it never decides which product we recommend.

Last updated October 2, 2026

On this page

In plain words

  • Prep Brook is reader supported. Some links earn us a small commission.
  • You never pay more because you used our link.
  • No brand can pay for a spot in our rankings. Commissions never decide our picks.
  • As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

The short version

Prep Brook is reader supported. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission at no extra cost to you. That money pays for the hours we spend reading specs, manuals, and owner reviews, so our guides can stay free.

Amazon Associates

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Prep Brook 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.

Amazon is our main affiliate partner. Most “Check price” and “View latest price” buttons on our site lead to Amazon. Prices and availability shown on Amazon can change at any time. The price and availability on Amazon at the moment you buy is the one that applies.

Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

Other affiliate programs

We may also join affiliate programs run by other retailers or brands. If we do, the same rules on this page apply to them. Every program is treated the same way: it can pay us a commission, but it cannot buy a recommendation.

How we keep our picks honest

  • No paid rankings. We do not accept money, free products, or favors in exchange for a spot in a buying guide.
  • Same commission rules for every pick. Commission rates differ between products, and we ignore them when choosing.
  • Research first. Every pick comes from comparing manufacturer specs, owner manuals, and patterns in verified owner reviews. We do not claim hands-on lab testing.
  • We name the trade-offs. If a popular product has a real weakness, such as a hard-to-clean lid, we say so, even if it costs us a sale.

Product buttons and product-name links that go to a store are usually affiliate links. We mark these links as sponsored in our code, as Google asks, and we place a short disclosure near the top of every buying guide, before the first product link.

FTC compliance

We follow the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255). Those rules ask publishers to clearly disclose any financial relationship with the brands or stores they mention. This page, and the notes on our guides, are how we do that.
