Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: November 23, 2025

Our Commitment to Transparency

Hey there! I’m Mike Thompson, and I want to be completely upfront with you about how Pediamower.com operates. This page explains how we keep the lights on while providing you with honest, helpful lawn mower advice.

The Bottom Line Up Front

Pediamower.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means when you click certain links on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Let me be clear: this never affects what we recommend or how we review products.

How Affiliate Marketing Works

Here’s the thing most people don’t realize about affiliate links: they’re actually a win-win situation. You get the same price (sometimes even better deals), the retailer makes a sale, and we earn a small percentage that helps us continue creating helpful content. It’s that simple.

When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission of 1-10% of the sale, depending on the program and product. This doesn’t add a penny to your cost; retailers build these commissions into their marketing budgets.

Our Affiliate Partnerships

We currently work with these affiliate programs:

Amazon Associates Program

We’re participants 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. Many of the lawn mowers, parts, and accessories we discuss are available on Amazon, and we may earn a commission when you purchase through our links.

Sovrn //Commerce

We partner with Sovrn to monetize some of our content through affiliate links. Sovrn helps us connect with various retailers and brands in the lawn care industry.

Impact Partnership Program

Through Impact, we’ve established relationships with lawn mower manufacturers and specialty retailers. This allows us to provide you with direct access to brands we trust and have personally tested.

Our Editorial Integrity Promise

In my 15 years doing this, I’ve learned that trust is everything. Here’s what I guarantee you:

We Only Recommend What We’d Use Ourselves

I test products on my own 0.75-acre lawn before recommending them. If I wouldn’t use it in my yard or recommend it to my neighbor, it doesn’t make it onto our site. Period.

Honest Reviews, Always

Whether we earn a commission or not, our reviews reflect real experiences. I’ve criticized plenty of expensive mowers and praised budget options, whatever genuinely serves you best.

No Pay-for-Play

Brands cannot pay us for positive reviews or higher rankings. Our recommendations are based solely on performance, value, and real-world testing. Some of our favorite mowers aren’t even available through affiliate programs!

We Mention Alternatives

You’ll notice that we often recommend multiple options at different price points, including products that don’t generate any commission for us. Your satisfaction matters more than our commission rate.

We typically include affiliate links in:

  • Product reviews and comparisons
  • “Best of” recommendation articles
  • Buying guides
  • Tool and accessory recommendations
  • Maintenance product suggestions

Not every link on our site is an affiliate link. Many are just helpful resources, manufacturer websites, or informational sources.

Products We Receive for Testing

Occasionally, manufacturers send us lawn mowers or equipment for testing and review. When this happens, we always disclose it in the article. Here’s our policy:

  • We’re under no obligation to write positive reviews
  • We test products the same way regardless of how we obtained them
  • We often purchase products ourselves to ensure unbiased testing
  • Free products don’t guarantee coverage, many don’t make the cut

Your Trust Matters More Than Commissions

Let me tell you something I learned the hard way: one bad recommendation can cost you hundreds of dollars and destroy the trust we’ve built. That’s not worth any commission check.

I’ve turned down partnerships with brands I don’t believe in. I’ve recommended against expensive purchases when a budget option would work better. And I’ve criticized products from companies we have affiliate relationships with when they disappointed.

Why? Because you’re not just a click or a commission to us, you’re a homeowner trying to make smart decisions about your lawn care. I take that seriously.

Your Choices and Rights

You’re never obligated to use our affiliate links. If you prefer to:

  • Go directly to a retailer’s website
  • Shop at a local dealer
  • Search for better prices elsewhere

Please do! Our goal is to help you make informed decisions, not to force purchases through our links.

Questions or Concerns?

If you ever have questions about our affiliate relationships or concerns about our recommendations, I want to hear from you. Transparency works both ways.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure complies with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255). We take these requirements seriously and strive for complete transparency in all our content.

Changes to This Disclosure

We’ll update this page whenever we join new affiliate programs or change our policies. The “Last Updated” date at the top will always reflect our most recent changes.

Thank You for Your Trust

Running Pediamower.com is more than a business for me; it’s a way to share knowledge I’ve gained over 15 years in this industry. Your support through affiliate purchases helps us continue testing products, creating helpful content, and being your go-to resource for lawn mower advice.

Here’s to beautiful lawns and smart equipment choices!
