Jennifer Oksien

Jennifer (Jen) is our resident Large Appliance Editor who looks after the content you see about appliances (big and small). She reviews whatever appliance she can easily fit through the front door, which is mainly vacuum cleaners; corded, cordless and robotic. As well as writing for Homes&Gardens, she has written for John Lewis & Partners, Ideal Home, Real Homes, Gardeningetc and Livingetc. When she is not bringing the best in-class products to your attention, Jennifer can be found going for walks in the Somerset countryside with her husband and daughter, or enjoying some tea and cake with a magazine (when she has a quiet moment). Jen is four years into her first house renovation which has been a big learning curve, and although the end is insight once the garden is finished in summer '22 she can't help but start planning for the next one  – how she would do things differently.
