Articles by Millie Fender, Head of Reviews

Millie Fender is Head of Reviews at Top Ten Reviews. She also works on our sister sites: Real Homes, Ideal Home, Homes & Gardens, and Livingetc. As Head of Reviews, Millie is on a mission to make sure that we are reviewing all of the latest and greatest products for you and your home, whether it's a vacuum cleaner or an inflatable hot tub.

Millie started her career at Top Ten Reviews as a Staff Writer in 2019 but has since become an expert in reviewing and testing home appliances such as air fryers and blenders. This aligns with her love of cooking and baking, but she also enjoys testing products that force her to clean her two-bed apartment that she shares with her partner in South London.

Her spare time is spent traveling, cooking, playing guitar, and she's currently learning how to knit.
