Affiliate disclosure
Effective October 13, 2026
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Which programs we use
HomeGridHQ participates in these affiliate programs:
- 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.
- CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction), which we use for some manufacturer stores.
- Awin, which we use for some manufacturer stores.
- Impact. Impact's tracking script runs on every page and can turn a plain link to a participating merchant into a tracked affiliate link.
Which network a given brand runs through can change as programs approve or close. We use one network per brand, never two at once.
What it means for you
- The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go to the store directly.
- Affiliate links are marked
rel="sponsored nofollow"in the page code, which is how search engines expect paid links to be labeled. - Retailers set a cookie when you click through so they can credit the sale. Our privacy policy covers that in more detail.
- We never link a store that's more expensive than buying direct just because it pays us. If the cheapest place to buy is a store we don't earn from, that's the price we quote.
Commission doesn't decide the ranking. Here's proof.
Right now 14 of the 24 products in our database earn us a commission and 10 don't. The cheapest portable unit per kilowatt-hour in the whole database, the VTOMAN FlashSpeed 1500 at $380/kWh, earns us nothing. It still sits at the top. This table is generated straight from the same database our rankings use:
| Rank | Unit | Regular price | $/kWh | Earns us a commission? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | VTOMAN FlashSpeed 1500 | $589 | $380 | No |
| 2 | Dabbsson DBS2300 | $899 | $386 | No |
| 3 | OUPES Mega 3 | $1,199 | $390 | No |
| 4 | Bluetti Elite 300 | $1,199 | $398 | Yes |
| 5 | Pecron F5000LFP | $2,199 | $429 | No |
| 6 | EcoFlow Delta 3 Max | $879 | $429 | Yes |
Units without an affiliate program still get full reviews, still show up in comparisons, and still win picks when the numbers say they should. Their "buy" buttons send you to our review page instead of a store.
What we don't do
- We don't sell placements, rankings, or "featured" spots. No brand can pay to move up.
- We don't accept free review units, loaner units, or gifts from manufacturers.
- We don't rank a product on a promo or members-only price, especially not one we earn on. Rankings use the regular price a walk-up buyer pays.
- We don't let a brand review, edit, or approve what we publish about it.
How rankings and reviews are put together is laid out in full in how we rank & review.
