Derek Adams has been in journalism since joining London listings magazine Time Out in the early ‘80s where he served as a film critic and editor of Time Out’s gadgets page. He now writes regular product reviews and guides for Expert Reviews and other publications.

Derek’s love of new consumer tech knows no bounds – if it runs on batteries or has a plug on it, he’s at it faster than a squirrel up a tree. In fact, there isn’t anything he hasn’t written about. From large and small household appliances to camera drones, lawn mowers, barbecues, bicycles and even cars, Derek is passionate, enthusiastic and conscientious enough to spend hours evaluating the latest products so you don’t have to.
