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.

This Hisense tumble dryer is a real helping hand when it comes to tackling that mountain of laundry. If you've got lots of clothes to get through, you'll be glad to know it doesn't cost the earth to run. That’s because it uses clever Heat Pump tech that recycles hot air for a more energy-efficient cycle. Plus, it’s got 17 programmes to choose from, giving you loads of options to take extra special care of different fabrics and styles. You can even tell it exactly when you want it to start with the Delay Timer. All you’ve got to do is set the time you want and away you go. That means you can have it finished as soon as you get home.
