Jeremy Laukkonen

At The Spruce, Jeremy has written extensively about appliances like refrigerators and freezers, ovens and ranges, and induction cooktops, with the goal of helping readers make informed decisions about these major purchases. He has also covered home improvement content, both high and low tech, including keyless entry systems, dimmer switches, garage door openers, and gutter guards, and bed bath and home decor subjects like bed cooling systems and pressure-assisted toilets.

Prior to joining The Spruce, Jeremy was a ghost writer for the automotive trades, Lifewire's technology generalist, and a contributor to publications like Digital Trends and Entertainment Weekly.

Writing is not Jeremy's first career. Before he started writing professionally, Jeremy owned and operated an automotive repair shop. As an automotive technician who also ran the front end, he found himself explaining complicated technical issues to his customers every day, and he quickly developed the ability to break things down and make them easier to understand.

Whether writing about complicated technology, or compiling research and testing insights, he often finds himself tapping into that core competency that he developed while still turning wrenches.

I don't know if I'd be able to live without my WeatherFlow Tempest, and the insights it provides in my local weather (it's even survived contact with a hurricane!) There's a reason I included it in my piece on the best weather stations—there aren't any moving parts to break off, the AI just keeps getting more accurate over time, and I love how easy it is to share weather data with my friends and family.
