Common questions

What does The Kitchen Watt cover?

Home appliances in Latin America, judged by what they cost to run and whether they survive the local supply. Cocina and Lavado y clima hold the categories, Consumo y costo carries the energy reporting, Elegir y comprar covers the buying decision, and Instalacion y cuidado covers fitting and upkeep.

Do you test the appliances?

No. Every consumption figure or test result comes from a manufacturer, a standards body or a named publication, credited and linked in the piece. Nothing is measured here, and no appliance passes through our hands.

Will the running costs match my bill?

Not exactly. Tariffs, voltage and usage differ by country and by household, and a figure quoted from a source is a reported comparison rather than a prediction of your invoice. The piece names whoever produced the figure so you can check the assumptions.

Do you recommend brands?

No. There are no rankings, no best-of lists and no affiliate or retailer links, and the site is independent of every manufacturer and shop it covers.

Who produces the articles?

They are written with automated assistance from the source reporting and carry no individual byline, with the source credited where an author would be named. No engineer or technician is named as an author, because the pieces are summaries rather than tests.

Are there cookies or trackers?

No, and it runs no analytics or advertising and loads nothing from a third-party host. Your theme preference is stored in your own browser and nowhere else.
