Amy Cutmore has specialized in consumer tech and home improvement for two decades, road testing everything from TVs and soundbars to toasters and solar panels. She's been a writer, editor and head of content for sites including Ideal Home (as 'Girl About Tech'), Homes & Gardens, Livingetc, Saga Magazine, Grand Designs, The Guardian, The English Home, Tom's Guide, Expert Reviews and Trusted Reviews. And she's always been passionate about seeking the best, beautiful, most intuitive technology that offers true value for money, be it a TV, headphones, refrigeration or a robot vacuum... hers is called Rosie. When she's not arguing with her other half about the merits of Android phones over Apple, or visiting washing machine factories (she can attest that they're not much different whether you're in Korea, Slovenia, Italy or Japan), you'll find her testing new baking gadgets for fun. Or boring people senseless about Formula 1 (and her triumphs in the F1 Fantasy League).
