[AnnMumsnet]

The time has come round yet again for the Insight team at MNHQ to host our annual round up of the year, to plead for those of you not yet on our panel to sign up and to thank you all for taking part in some amazing projects this year!

After 10 years at Mumsnet, I am logging off and leaving at the end of the year - will def be on the ‘other side’ and keeping an eye on the team. It’s been amazing at MNHQ - seeing the site grow and develop and to work with a great team but time for a change for me personally.

Read on for the chance to win...

~ A ‘Christmas All Wrapped Up’ mixed case of wine from Virgin Wines - worth £116.87 or

We enjoyed testing the monqi smart phone for kids this year. I love reading product tests and would love to see one done for mopping robots as that's next on my wish list.

I liked testing the lidl nappies and the aunt bessies roast potatoes. I would love to test a robot vacuum or a tumble dryer.

I've enjoyed posting on the sponsored threads and seeing what other people have been up to.

Next year I would like to be chosen for pretty much anything but particularly would like to try out anything to make cleaning easier (handheld vacuum for example).

Good luck with your next endeavour AnnMumsnet!

If there's any designs for a self cleaning house I'll test that .
Failing that, I'd love to test a Robot Hoover and a window cleaner and a Philips sunrise simulation alarm clock please.

(I've also joined the panel now)

Forgot to add I have joined the panel- although I think I'm already on it. I'm not sure!

I would love to test some gluten free products and see some reviews for gluten free things. My daughter can't eat gluten. I enjoyed the google home test. Although we didn't test it, from reading reviews from people who did we ended up buying one xx

Really enjoy reading many of the posts ....at least I don’t think...”am I the only one who thinks like this!”
Lots of interesting news #love Mumsnet

Joined the panel :-)

I would love to test cleaning products including electronic devices. Or personal organisers including apps. I would be happy to test computer based equipment or sound equipment. In addition, I would like to test products such as insulation or decorative stuff like tiles. Best of luck for the future AnnMumsnet 😊

I signed up to the panel. Robot hoover would be a good thing to test

We loved testing the google home! Such a lot of fun .

We are happy to test anything especially food related - we get through a lot haha!

We enjoyed testing the Lidl pull ups this year. Saved us a few quid and they were brilliant, so double chuffed. Something I'd love to test would be a treadmill or cross trainer as it would spur me on to get back into fitness

I haven't been picked for much this year but next year I'd really love to test a Phillips Lumea as they sound really really helpful but are soo expensive!

I've loved testing Google Home. Even tells you what Santa is doing
I'd love to test some relaxation products. All of us need to relax and I think Mumsnet could be a great place for testers to really put relaxation items (massage chairs, mindfulness programmes, aromatherapy items, ambient lighting etc) through their paces...there are a lot of stressed out people use this site. I know. I'm one of them!

I've signed up for the insight panel and I'd love love love to test the running buggy!

I would love to product test the Barbantia bins and kettles

I most certainly would love to try A ‘Christmas All Wrapped Up’ mixed case of wine from Virgin Wines - worth £116.87 LOL.... its been a hard christmas hehehe

I suffer from skin conditions so would love to test or read about non steroid treatments that actually work. to save me wasting a lot of money

I've joined the panel.

I've enjoyed testing the hipp baby food this year, I'll pretty much try anything!

I'd love to love to product test some natural products for children like burts bee products.

Vitamins or food ranges that are good for mums who need more energy 😂

Essential oils to go in humidifiers to see what effects they give. We have just bought a humidifier with olbas oil.

a) Share on this thread what you have enjoyed taking part in this year, or appreciated reading about
I have really enjoyed reading all of the reviews this year, especially the ones about people's family experiences. It makes me feel a bit more that my family is normal too :)

b) Tell us on this thread what you’d like to product test next year
I'd like to see more reviews of places and events. I find that they are the hardest to get honest reviews for them.

c) Join the panel - where you'll have the opportunity to share your views with MNHQ on a variety of topics and with the companies we work with and chances to win vouchers
All joined up! :)

d) Follow us or retweet one of our tweets over on twitter page @MumsnetInsight**
All twittered up! :)

I haven't been lucky enough to test anything this year, but would really like to test a cordless vacuum as my Henry is driving me to despair! DS would like me to test a gaming computer ( ha ha) , and DH would probably say some kind of speaker bar thing for the TV.

I'm not very good at Twitter!
But I've followed @mumsnetinsight and retweeted i think!

Product testing, yes to whoever said a Phillips lumea, I keep! thinking about getting one, but the price if it doesn't work...

Would love to test co-wash products and dry shampoos. Since falling pregnant and then having babies, I have no time to do my hair and also the condition of my hair has changed- probably a lot of us on here have those issues.

I’d love to test a family holiday abroad!
