Sharing our tumble dryer expertise

Which? knows tumble dryers inside out. We’ve put hundreds of tumble dryers through their paces in the Which? test lab to find out which really offer the best drying power for your money.

Our experts have an unrivalled understanding of what each tumble dryer brand does well and where it falls down. In the Which? lab, we test tumble dryers on a wide range of criteria, including drying time, evenness of drying, creasing, noise and ease of use. See our how we test page in the tumble dryer reviews to see details of the different types of tests we use to identify the best and worst tumble dryers.

In this guide, our experts share what they’ve learnt about each of the biggest tumble dryer brands, to help you decide which might best suit you and your home.
