Register your interest to participate in our Smart Washing Machine Trial

The Customer-Led Network Revolution has been formed to help understand current energy usage and how to best meet future energy needs. We will achieve this by monitoring the energy use in a large number of homes, and by introducing innovative ways in which customers can play a part in reducing peak electricity demand and keeping energy prices stable.

As part of this trial we will be supplying a limited number of a new ‘smart’ version of the Hotpoint AQUALTIS washing machine to selected customers, which will allow us to monitor how you use the appliance via an internet connection, and enable some advanced features concerning the timing of selected machine cycles which we would like you to test throughout the trial period.

We are aiming to launch the trial in the first quarter of 2013 and will be contacting successful customers from January 2013 onwards to explain the details of the trial, confirm eligibility and to arrange installation of the new washing machines. If you are interested in participating in the trial and receiving a new ‘smart’ Hotpoint AQUALTIS washing machine, supplied and installed free of charge, please complete the form below to find out if you meet the eligibility criteria for the trial.

At the end of the trial you get to keep the washing machine, you will be free to disable any of its advanced features and the monitoring will cease.

Please note, your answers will not guarantee your participation in the trial. Trial places are limited and should the trial be oversubscribed, we reserve the right to select customers based on those who, in the opinion of the project team, best meet the requirements of the project.
