The moisture from your clothes is stored in a removable tank which is easy to empty, and it means you can place this model anywhere without needing external venting. The Mixed Dry programme is great if you have different fabrics in the same load, as natural fibres and synthetics can be done in one go. And if you want to put everything away immediately, then the Cupboard Dry cycle leaves them ready to be stored as soon as it’s finished.

If you prefer to stick to a schedule, the timed drying options let you choose when you’d like the programme to begin. Just go ahead and take an extra half hour in bed ­- you’re all set for your morning chores. Pongy socks are no more too, thanks to the Freshen Up cycle which uses cool air to remove odours.

The fairy godmother of laundry day, this Candy tumble dryer is an absolute dream. It has tons of space and it’s easy to take out the tank and empty the water.

Make light work of laundry days with this tumble dryer from Hotpoint. Because it has a 9kg drum capacity, it’s great for medium-sized households. Heat Pump technology makes it more energy-efficient too, as it recycles the hot air instead of removing it through a hose or vent. And with the innovative ActiveCare feature, fabrics are protected from wear and tear by up to 40%. It works by adjusting the temperature and spin speed to make sure every item stays at its best for longer. Plus, Sensor Drying technology works out how much moisture is left in your outfits, then will adjust the cycle time so it doesn’t run for longer than it needs to.

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.
