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 Samsung tumble dryer has all the clever tech you’re looking for to make laundry a breeze. If you need an outfit sorted pronto, stick it on the Quick Dry 35’ setting – it’ll be ready to wear in next to no time. Handy for last-minute plans. But what’s really clever is the OptimalDry™ tech. This uses clever sensors to measure each load and automatically adjust the settings for the perfect cycle every time. And if you don’t fancy tackling a mountain of ironing, the Wrinkle Prevent system helps cut down on creases – minimal effort, maximum results.
