Using a smart meter to save electricity

[CaptainRAVE]

I can’t get under 99W, but it is what it is. Add in things like alarms, cctv, fridge etc and it’s difficult to get it down further.

Despite taking longer, the eco programmes on both the Washing Machine and Dishwasher should use less energy overall. (That's generally why ECO is the default, certainly on newer machines)

Depends, some are eco on water use rather than energy. Water is cheap

The washing machine manual does have a power usage table, but it doesn't include all modes, most notably it does not include eco modes. Fail.

I don't know what happened to the dryer manual.

The dishwasher manual does have a power usage table, it is complete!
Eco: 130-140 mins, 1.0-1.2 kWh, 14-16l water
Normal: 100-110 mins, 1.4-1.6 kWh, 19-21l water
30 mins: 30 mins, 0.9 kWh, 9l water winner

Ok now go peak anorac and plug them all into smart plugs with power monitor. But make sure the smart plugs cost a fortune and it'd take a decade for payback.
