Our data: where the information on KitchenWatt comes from

The CPSC product recalls list is published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. It holds the official U.S. recall notices for consumer products, with the products concerned, their model numbers and the remedy offered.

From it we use one thing: the recall notice and its official link, shown on the recalled model. We checked all 170 models of the catalog against it. At present, 0 recalled models have been found, so no model currently shows a recall notice.

To match a model to a recall, we proceed in two steps:

• A recall is a candidate when it names the model's brand and one of the listing's model codes.
• An AI model then reads the recall's own text and keeps the recall only when it is the same product and the same model, not a neighboring one, a battery or an accessory.

The recall list is checked again every month.

The main limit: a recall that does not give the model number cannot be matched with certainty, so it is not shown. The absence of a notice on a model therefore means that we found no matching recall, not that no recall exists.

Each model's manufacturer publishes product pages, datasheets, user manuals and declarations of conformity on its own website, or on its group's. Examples of the sites we read include Hamilton Beach, Black+Decker appliances, Breville, Black+Decker and Whirlpool.

This source covers 10 of the 170 models in the catalog. We take these fields from it:

• Dishwasher-safe parts
• Number of discs and blades
• Replacement parts available
• Warranty length
• What it does
• What's in the box

For each model, we search for its exact model number on the maker's own website. A figure is kept only when our server opens the page again and finds both the model number and that figure on it. Retailers, marketplaces, comparison or review sites and manual-collection sites are never used as a source.

Every model is researched once, and new models are researched as they join the catalog. Many brands sold mainly on Amazon publish no specification page; their models keep only what their Amazon listing states.

Models come from Amazon. A model enters the comparison when it reaches a rating of 3.5/5 and has at least 5 customer reviews. Stock is not a criterion.

Prices come from the product pages on Amazon.com and are updated every 7 days. The date each price was collected is shown next to it. A model without a price is out of stock.

Each model carries at most one badge, computed within its category:

• Most popular: the most customer reviews.
• Top rated: the best rating among the models with at least 100 customer reviews.

The rule shows when you hover over a badge.

In the AI search, you describe what you need in one sentence. An AI model turns it into the comparison's filters, which you see and can remove. It writes no answer and only handles searches about food processors.

The quiz has 5 questions. The models that match at least half of your answers are kept and ranked from best to least match.

You can compare up to 4 models side by side. The best figure in each row is highlighted, and the comparison can be shared with a link. Every filter has a "?" that explains it, and the filters and the sort are written into the page address, which can be shared.

A heart on every product card adds the model to your favorites. The list stays in your browser, and we never receive it.

Links to Amazon are affiliate links: we earn a commission on a purchase, at no extra cost to you. No manufacturer pays to be listed or ranked higher.
