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.

Leave fabrics fresh as a daisy with this Haier 9kg heat pump tumble dryer. If you’ve tweaked a programme slightly to make it work for your outfits, Favourite Function lets you save the settings, so it’ll be good to go just the way you like it. You can even choose when a cycle finishes with I-Time. Now looking after the laundry suits your schedule. This model has a Hygienic Function too, banishing bacteria at the touch of a button. That’s a breath of fresh air.
