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.

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.

Power through the laundry heap with this white tumble dryer from Samsung. It has a 9kg drum capacity, making it great for medium-sized households. Clever Heat Pump technology means it’s really energy-efficient too, as it recycles the hot air instead of removing it through a hose or vent. And Optimal Dry™ sensors keep an eye on the moisture levels in your clothes to automatically adjust the cycle length – so it’ll only run for as long as it needs to. You can also monitor programmes remotely thanks to the Smart Control + app. All you’ll need is a smartphone, giving you the flexibility to fit your chores around your lifestyle.
