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're always juggling laundry, this AEG 7000 SensiDry® heat pump dryer makes life so much easier. Its MixDry setting can handle cotton and synthetics in one go, getting everything evenly dry without any faff of separating them first. It also has DryAssist, which uses smart sensors to optimise a cycle automatically, so your clothes get the care they need while saving a bit of time and energy. And when you’re in a rush, the SpeedDry programme gently gets through up to 4kg in around 75 minutes – perfect for last-minute outfits or freshening up school uniforms before the morning dash.
