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.

Wet school uniforms and damp towels don't stand a chance with this Haier X5 Plus tumble dryer, which takes a 10kg load, so a full washer's worth of laundry goes in without running it twice. Smart AI works out what fabric you've loaded and how much of it there is, then sets the drying time and temperature to match. Heat Pump technology recycles warm air inside the drum for gentle drying. Got a favourite jumper you'd rather not shrink? The low-temperature programme runs at a gentle 32°C to look after the fibres. The Pillow Drum is laser-welded into a single smooth piece, with pillow-shaped pads that let fabrics glide past instead of snagging. You'll find the 3-in-1 Filter in the door, where 2 inner layers sit inside a condenser filter to catch fluff, and it's easy to clean.
