Get those soggy socks off the radiator and let this Samsung heat pump tumble dryer work its magic instead. It tailors the setting to suit each load, thanks to clever OptimalDry™ tech, which uses sensors to stop drying at the perfect moment. Struggling to finish off laundry day with your busy schedule? The Quick Dry 35’ programme will get a load ready to put away in just over half an hour – perfect for busy bees. And when you’ve settled down to the afternoon movie, you won’t miss the best bits, thanks to Smart Control+. It lets you control the machine from an app on your phone, so you’ll know when the cycle has ended. Now sit back and hit those lights.

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.
