Tackle that mountain of laundry without worrying about your energy bills, thanks to this Hoover Series 7 heat pump tumble dryer. Unlike standard vented models, it recycles warm air inside the drum, so it uses less energy each cycle. The 10kg capacity is big enough for a full duvet, making light work of the bulky stuff. It's Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ready too, so you can pair it with the hOn app and kick off a load from the sofa while you're catching up on telly. With programmes for everything from sportswear to delicates, there's a setting for pretty much whatever you throw at it.

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.
