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.

Retire the clothesline, this Hisense heat pump tumble dryer has things handled from here. No need to spend time pondering the best settings for each load, just pop your clothes in and the Auto Dry feature will figure out the best options — making things super-simple while saving on bills too. Plus, with the Anti Crease programme, you’ll be dashing through laundry day in record time. It moves items around more, so the hot air loosens any creases, saving you an evening by the ironing board. And, since this model can be synced with the ConnectLife app on your smartphone, you don’t even have to get up off the sofa to control the appliance.
