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.

If you’re after a dryer that’ll slot seamlessly into your layout, this Hisense 9kg heat pump model’s the one. The KitchenFit design lines up perfectly with your cabinets, so you can get a streamlined look without having it built in. Plus, if you’re in a rush, the Quick Dry settings give you 2 cycles to choose from, sort 1kg in 29 minutes or 4kg in 59 minutes. Looks like you’ll have no trouble getting out on time. And if you want to make ironing a quick task too, Power Steam helps loosen up creases. You might even be able to skip the board altogether.
