Toasters & Grills
The Google product category ID for Toasters & Grills is 5289. It sits under Kitchen Appliances and has 10 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 10 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Toasters & Grills is the largest of the 52 categories under Kitchen Appliances, with 10 categories below it. Size is not correctness — a small category is the right answer when it is the right answer — but it does tell you how much of the taxonomy you are still choosing between once you pick this branch.
Toasters & GrillsCountertop & Toaster Ovens
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Countertop & Toaster Ovens (761) on level 5: Toasters & Grills › Countertop & Toaster Ovens. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.
Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (5289) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliances > Toasters & Grills"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 10 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 5289 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliances > Toasters & Grills |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 5289, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.
What sits under Toasters & Grills
10 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.

Questions about Toasters & Grills
What is the Google product category ID for Toasters & Grills?
5289. The full path, "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Kitchen Appliances > Toasters & Grills", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Should I use Toasters & Grills or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Toasters & Grills has 10 directly below it, starting with Countertop & Toaster Ovens (761), Donut Makers (6819), Muffin & Cupcake Makers (5318), and 10 in total further down. 5289 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Toasters & Grills sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Kitchen Appliances (730). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Kitchen & Dining → Kitchen Appliances → Toasters & Grills. If your product does not belong under Kitchen Appliances, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Toasters & Grills is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Kitchen Appliances first — there are 51 other categories at this level: Beverage Warmers (5287), Breadmakers (732), Chocolate Tempering Machines (5090), Coffee Makers & Espresso Machines (736), Cooktops (679), Cotton Candy Machines (3319), and 45 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Kitchen Appliances (730) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Toasters & Grills?
1 level more. The longest route down from Toasters & Grills is Toasters & Grills > Countertop & Toaster Ovens, ending at Countertop & Toaster Ovens (761) on level 5. Not every branch below Toasters & Grills runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Toasters & Grills compared with the categories next to it?
It is the largest of the 52 at its level, carrying 10 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
