Millie Fender

Millie is the managing editor of homes at Tom's Guide. She's been reviewing home tech for over five years, testing everything from coffee makers to the latest vacuum cleaners.

Specialising in indoor and outdoor cooking, Millie is always testing kitchen appliances like juicers, stand mixers, and pizza ovens. She loves finding renter-friendly ways of adding her own touch to living spaces, and browsing the property market for houses with larger kitchens.

Starting out in 2019 as a staff writer at TopTenReviews, Millie then moved on to Future's Homes portfolio, including Ideal Home, Homes&Gardens, Livingetc, Woman&Home, and Real Homes, where she eventually oversaw all product testing as head of reviews.

With particular expertise in cookware and kitchen appliances, you'll struggle to find an air fryer that Millie hasn't tested. She's traveled the world reporting on the latest home innovations and product launches, learning how to use pizza ovens from Pizzaiolos in Naples, and touring the De'Longhi factory in Venice. Millie is also an SCA-Certified barista.

When she's not reporting on home and appliance trends, Millie loves watching live music. She's currently learning the guitar - naturally, she plays a Fender.
