Chris Haslam

Chris Haslam is an award-winning UK-based journalist with over 20 years of experience. He specialises in consumer technology, smart home, audio, outdoors, fitness and sustainability, but in truth, there’s very little he hasn’t reviewed over the years.  

 As well as writing guides and reviewing tech for Good Housekeeping, he is Contributing Editor for Wired magazine and Wired.com, while also writing for a broad range of titles including a monthly audio reviews column for BBC Music magazine, the world’s largest classical music title. He also contributes regularly to Livingetc, Ideal Home, and Expert Reviews. His house is, unsurprisingly, chock full of gadgets, but he still hasn’t forgiven the robot vacuum for ripping out the broadband cable.   

Over the years, Chris has written hundreds of expert “how-to” guides and a dizzying number of product reviews. Highlights include testing tents in the McLaren supercar monsoon bad weather testing chamber, trialling winter sports technology in Colorado, writing features on stand-up and treadmill desks, and even testing exoskeletons that help you hike up hills. He spends too long arguing with voice assistants, and if you live close by, you’ve almost certainly been asked to lend your home for testing robot vacuums, doorbells and security systems.
