Walk in to any electrical shop in the UK and you will struggle to see a Washing Machine that’s not A rated for energy efficiency. It’s a pity that does not apply to tumble dryers as Hotpoint V3D01 (and others) are still producing a machine with an F rating! What’s even more surprising, is that when we tried to track down the energy consumption figures from their website, it quotes a figure of 3.73 kWh/cycle – which could potentially cost £172 a year to run! Not bad for a £140 tumble dryer.

More research at our local Curry’s reveals a figure of 2.73 kWh/cycle, according to its energy efficiency label (F rated), while at a Comet superstore the same model is labelled as a “D” rated at 1.89 kWh/cycle. Confused? Which is correct? Watch this space!
