Best Heat Pump Tumble Dryers

Speed through your chores with this graphite tumble dryer from Samsung. It has an 8kg drum capacity, making it great for medium-sized households. It also comes with Heat Pump technology, which is a lot more energy-efficient. That’s because it recycles the hot air to completely remove the moisture from your clothes. And Optimal Dry™ sensors monitor humidity levels inside the drum to automatically adjust the drying time, so it’ll only run for as long as it needs to. Smart Control + is handy too, as it lets you control the machine from your smartphone – perfect if you want your towels to be dry the second you get back from your dog walk.

Get the most out of this product with the SmartThings app. By downloading it on your phone, tablet or smart watch, you’ll be able to control your appliance from anywhere and connect it to other smart tech in your home.

Make short work of the laundry pile with this Miele condenser tumble dryer. Its 9kg drum capacity makes it great for large households, and because it uses heat pump technology, hot air inside the drum is recycled – helping you to save energy. Plus, thanks to PerfectDry technology, sensors will measure the amount of moisture in your clothes, adjusting the drying time to suit. This makes sure that your garments come out neither damp nor overdried. And whether you prefer the smell of fresh roses or spring blossom, the FragranceDos feature uses capsules to add your chosen scent to each load, so your shirts are wonderfully fresh with every cycle. This model has been tested for the equivalent of 20 years’ use, for added peace of mind.

Heat pump tumble dryers are super-efficient, but to save the most energy, programmes may take a little longer to dry your clothes than on standard dryers. It’s important not to overload the drum either, so they can perform at their best.
