Editorial Policy
Editorial Policy
The operating rules for every review, recommendation, and correction we publish.
01 / Independence
Independence
We do not accept sponsored placements. Our rankings are never influenced by which brand pays the highest affiliate commission, which publicist sends the nicest pitch email, or which company offers to pay for "featured" slots. The only thing that moves a grill up or down on our list is the evidence — the published specs, manufacturer data, and verified-owner reviews described in our evaluation methodology.
Every page on this site that contains an affiliate link discloses that relationship in plain English. We use Amazon Associates as our primary affiliate network, and we disclose that partnership on the homepage, the footer of every page, and inside every product review. When we link to a non-Amazon retailer through a different affiliate program, we label that link specifically. If a page contains no affiliate link at all, we do not pretend otherwise — our editorial content (guides, methodology, this page) is written the same way regardless of whether a click pays us.
02 / Corrections
Corrections
When we get something wrong, we update the article with a correction notice at the top of the page and the date of the update. We do not silently re-edit published work. If a reader, a manufacturer, or a fact-check flags an error, the original claim stays visible (struck through) alongside the corrected version. You can reach the editorial team at editorial@electricgrill.com to flag anything you think is wrong.
03 / Sourcing
Source of facts
We cite four categories of source. First, published manufacturer specifications — wattage, cooking area, temperature ratings, and electrical requirements — which we quote as documented facts. Second, manufacturer manuals and data, used for warranty terms, safety certifications, and retail pricing. Third, the patterns across verified-purchase owner reviews, which tell us how a grill behaves for the people who actually own it. Fourth, published third-party data and reputable independent testing, cited as such when we rely on it.
Our evaluations are research-based, not hands-on — we do not perform our own cooking, measurement, or durability testing. Every claim is scoped to its source. You will see phrases like "rated by Ninja" or "verified owners frequently report," and we never present a manufacturer claim or an owner report as a first-hand measurement of our own. When a figure cannot be sourced, we leave it out rather than estimate it. If you find a fact on this site that isn't sourced, that is a bug, not a feature. Email us and we will fix it.
04 / Conflicts
Conflicts of interest
ElectricGrill.com holds no equity in any grill manufacturer, retailer, or distributor, and we do not accept sponsored placements, gifts, travel, or hospitality from brands in exchange for coverage. Because our evaluations are research-based, we do not solicit or accept free review units — our rankings draw on published specs, manufacturer data, and verified-owner reviews, so no brand can buy influence by sending product. Our only revenue is the affiliate commission disclosed on every page, and it never changes what we recommend.
