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.

Hands up if you enjoy hanging out the washing. No? Well then this Candy tumble dryer is going to make your life way easier. You won’t have to faff around with a clothes horse or rely on the British weather any more, just shove it all inside and you’re good to go. There’s plenty of space, and clever sensors work out the perfect drying time that’ll leave everything ready to put straight back in the wardrobe. The dryer will even work with your phone. The app lets you download new programmes to suit whatever’s lurking in the laundry basket this week. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to us.
