Brian Sutton is a kitchen appliance and electronics reviewer based in Raleigh, North Carolina, with a background in consumer electronics testing before he shifted his focus to kitchen tech five years ago. Brian specializes in breaking down the real performance differences between blenders, air fryers, stand mixers, and small electrics, going beyond spec sheets to test actual cooking results, noise levels, and long-term durability. He holds a degree in mechanical engineering, which informs his technical approach to evaluating motor performance and build quality. Brian is known for his no-nonsense, jargon-free explanations that help readers avoid overpaying for features they won't use.
