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 want your clothes dried quicker without costs piling up, this Hoover tumble dryer might just be the one. It’s got Heat Pump Technology recycling hot air, so it uses less energy than a standard model. And the delay timer means you can set the cycle to suit your schedule, while the hOn app keeps you in the loop even if you’ve gone out – so you can get your partner to empty it before you’re home. They’re not getting out of it that easily.
