At What Lasts, our mission is simple: help you choose fewer, better things—products that stand the test of time. Some links on our site are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help fund our testing, research, and maintenance of the site.
How Affiliate Links Work
- When we recommend a product, we may provide a link to a retailer that offers us an affiliate commission.
- You pay the same price you would otherwise; sometimes we’re able to negotiate lower prices or exclusive offers.
- Retailers do not approve or pre-review our picks, ratings, or writing.
- Disclosure: What Lasts participates in the Amazon Associates program and other affiliate networks. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
Our Independence & Selection Criteria
Every product we feature is manually curated, then run through the same evidence and scoring system. Our process surfaces repairability, warranty coverage, materials, and long-term owner outcomes—so products are judged by the same fair lens, not by marketing hype or payouts.
- Evidence-first: We highlight warranty terms, repair paths, materials, and real-world performance data on product pages.
- Editorial firewall: Affiliate relationships never determine our ratings or recommendations.
- No pay-to-play: Brands can’t buy their way into our Picks or rankings.
AI, Estimates, and Claims
Some lifespan estimates and summaries are generated with the help of AI models and internal scoring. They are estimates, not guarantees, and assume normal use and care.
- We cite data sources (e.g., warranty terms, repair guides, owner reports) wherever possible.
- If you spot an error, please report a problem; we’ll review and correct quickly.
Pricing, Availability & Retailers
- Prices and availability change; we do our best to keep listings current, but retailers may update without notice.
- We link to trusted retailers with a track record of honoring warranties and carrying genuine products.
- When multiple retailers are available, we typically link to the most reliable or best-value option.
Cookies & Tracking
Affiliate programs often use cookies to attribute sales. Our site may place a cookie when you click a retailer link. See our Privacy Policy for details on analytics and consent choices.
- Cookie durations are set by the retailer/affiliate network (varies by partner).
- You can clear cookies or use your browser’s privacy settings to manage tracking.
Corrections & Updates
We regularly review pages for accuracy. If a link, price, warranty term, or recommendation becomes outdated, we update or remove it. Found something off? Contact us.
