Affiliate Disclosure
At Robot Vacuum Geek, we have a simple rule: if it affects how this website makes money, you deserve to know about it.
This page explains exactly how we earn revenue through affiliate links, how that revenue keeps the site running, and most importantly, why it never influences what we recommend.
We built this site to give people honest, useful advice about robot vacuums and smart home cleaning. That only works if you can trust us. And trust starts with being upfront about the business side of things, in plain language, with nothing buried in fine print.
So here it is, all of it.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some of the links on Robot Vacuum Geek are affiliate links. Here’s what that means in practice:
- When we link to a product, say, a robot vacuum on a retailer’s website, that link may contain a small tracking code.
- If you click the link and end up buying the product, the retailer knows you came from our site.
- The retailer then pays us a small commission as a thank-you for the referral.
Two things are worth repeating, because they matter:
The commission comes from the retailer, not from you. It’s paid out of the retailer’s marketing budget.
You pay exactly the same price. Whether you use our link or type the retailer’s address into your browser yourself, the product costs the same. Using our links never adds a cent to your purchase.
That’s the entire mechanism. No catches, no hidden fees, no strings attached for you.
How Affiliate Commissions Support the Website
Running a quality website costs real money and real time. Affiliate commissions are what make Robot Vacuum Geek possible. They help cover:
- Website hosting — keeping the site fast, secure, and online around the clock
- Content creation — the hours of writing, editing, and updating behind every review and guide
- Research — digging through specifications, firmware notes, and owner feedback so you don’t have to
- Website maintenance — updates, fixes, and improvements that keep everything working smoothly
- Tools and software — the services we rely on to run and improve the site
Most importantly, commissions keep everything here completely free for you. No paywall, no subscription, no locked content. You get our comprehensive research and honest opinions at no cost, and the retailer foots the bill when our recommendations lead to a purchase.
We think that’s a fair trade and a far better model than charging readers or letting brands pay for coverage.
Our Editorial Independence
This is the part we care about most, so let’s be absolutely clear.
Affiliate partnerships never determine our rankings. The order of products in our comparisons and best-of lists reflects our editorial judgment, not commission rates.
We never recommend a product simply because it earns us money. If a product isn’t good, no commission will change that verdict. We regularly recommend products that earn us little or nothing, because they’re genuinely the right choice for certain readers.
Our recommendations are based on what actually matters to you: research, product features and performance, real-world value, reliability, and how well a product fits different homes, budgets, and needs.
Here’s the honest logic behind this: our only real asset is your trust. The moment we start ranking products by payout instead of merit, this site becomes worthless to you and, eventually, to us. Editorial independence isn’t just a principle here. It’s the business model.
No brand or retailer has ever paid for a positive review on this site, and none ever will.
Product Reviews
So you know exactly what goes into our verdicts, our reviews, and recommendations may draw on:
- Independent research into how products perform in real homes
- Product specifications and technical documentation
- Manufacturer information, including firmware and feature updates
- User feedback from verified owners across retail platforms and communities
- Editorial analysis — weighing strengths, weaknesses, and value against competing models
- Firsthand experience, when applicable
One honest caveat: the robot vacuum market moves fast. Prices change weekly, firmware updates alter how products behave, and models get discontinued without warning. A review that was accurate at publication may not reflect today’s reality in every detail.
That’s why we encourage you to verify important details, current price, specifications, warranty terms, and availability directly with the retailer or manufacturer before you buy. Their product page, not our review, is the final word at the moment of purchase.
Retailers and Affiliate Programs
Robot Vacuum Geek participates in affiliate programs offered by online retailers and merchants that sell robot vacuums, robot mops, and related products and accessories.
Robot Vacuum Geek 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.
We may also join additional affiliate programs over time as the site grows. Whichever programs we participate in, the same rule always applies: partnerships fund the site, but they never shape our opinions.
When you click an affiliate link, the retailer may place a cookie on your device so your purchase is correctly credited to us. You can read more about how that works in our Privacy Policy.
Your Trust Matters
We’ll end where we started: with you.
Every article on this site is written for the reader first. Honest recommendations are the priority, even when honesty means steering you toward a cheaper product, or away from a popular one that doesn’t deserve the hype.
Transparency isn’t a legal checkbox for us; it’s how we want to operate. This page exists so you never have to wonder about our motives when you read a review.
And one final piece of genuinely good advice: do your own research too. Read multiple sources, check recent owner reviews, and make sure any product fits your specific home and needs. If our guides are one useful voice in that process, we’ve done our job.
