ADVERTORIAL: Laundry goes smart — how a subscription service could revolutionise your washing


The Candy WashPass includes a WiFi washing machine (rated A+++) worth £500, ongoing service and support and a smart reordering system that tracks detergent usage and delivers automatically when you’re running low — so you only ever have (and pay for) as much as you need.

And it’s a bargain, starting at just £6.90 per month!

We’re used to technology playing a key part in running our homes, so it’s only natural that daily errands like laundry can now be added to the list of household chores that can be run with minimal input — with a WiFi washing machine and a detergent delivery service, plus ongoing maintenance and support all part of Candy’s new WashPass service.



With research from Barclaycard1 showing that 40 million Brits have a subscription service of some kind adding laundry to the list will be the next step for many. In fact, 65 per cent of British households are signed up to some sort of subscription service, making the subscription industry worth a whopping £323m!

Users simply sign up and get started with a one-off fee of £69, then pay their monthly fee of £6.90 plus 80p per wash for supplies and support — which for a small household doing one wash per week equals only £3.20 per month. So, the whole thing could cost just over £10 per month. A brand-new machine, money off your weekly shopping bill for detergent and peace of mind for servicing, all for a tenner.



So, how does it work?

At the heart of it all is Candy’s smart washing machine. This clever appliance automates every element of the laundry — all you need to do is put dirty clothes in and take the clean ones out! The device’s sophisticated tanks work out what cycle is appropriate and what mix and volume of detergents will yield best results.

Built to deliver up-to 70 per cent better results², the WashPass model removes any guesswork on the best way to wash your clothes. 

How do I work it?

The Candy SimplyFi app (iOS and Android) will guide you through set up and provide advice and insight on the many amazing things your WashPass machine can do. And, if all this isn’t enough, you can even use it with Amazon Alexa or your Google Assistant!

All you need to make the subscription work for you is a WiFi connection and a direct debit.

How do I get one?

The Candy WashPass is only available to the first 500 people who apply for the scheme as it’s still in its pilot phase. So, if you want to get involved, you should act fast! You can opt out at any time, although there will be a small cancellation charge if you decide to leave the scheme early.

Sign up today at the Candy website and you could have your new washing machine and smart subscription service set up in a matter of days!
