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.

You know those damp days when you just can’t get anything dry? They won’t matter anymore with this AEG tumble dryer. It’s a heat pump model that cleverly reuses hot air to fluff up your fibres without frazzling them – and saving you a pretty penny on your bills in the process. Lovely. On top of that, it’s ready for any outfit you pop in thanks to the 12 drying programmes for all sorts of different fabrics. Now there’s no danger of shrinking your fave sweater. And if you know you’re going to be late home, you can tell the Delay Timer when to start a cycle so it ends just as you walk through the door. Perfect.
