Photograph of Evan Jakab

Evan is a Staff Writer at RTINGS.com. He started at the company in 2020 and has a BA in Journalism and Political Science.

Since joining the team, he's had a hand in writing hundreds of reviews and product recommendation articles across a wide range of categories, including headphones, cameras, dehumidifiers, air purifiers, and, most regularly, vacuums. This experience, combined with his research-driven background, has provided him with a deep well of technical know-how and a knack for sussing out product trends in different markets.

When he isn't waxing lyrical about the benefits of HEPA filtration, you can find him refining his photography skills, collecting old car magazines, developing new cocktail recipes, and drinking tea; it should come as no surprise that he's frequently described as "fun at parties."
