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.

Sick of waiting for the weather to dry your washing? This Candy 10kg heat pump tumble dryer will sort the laundry come rain or shine. It’s got 4 Quick Pro Dry Cycles, so you have loads of options to cut down the programme time — perfect if you’ve got somewhere to be. And Sensor Dry tumbles your clothes until it detects they’re ready to come out, meaning you won’t see extra signs of wear and tear from over-drying or take out still-damp shirts. And Heat Pump Technology means this model’s also extra efficient. That’ll save you some pennies.
