Tumble dryer types and recommendations

Hi,
Looking to buy a new tumble dryer as the one we have blows the electrics whenever it does more than a very light load.
So, the one we have now is in a garage - not plumbed in. It's one where you tip the water out and remove the lint - condenser i think. I like it as it gets rid of fluff and bits off clothes - we have a dog so it removes dog hair which I love, and it fluffs towels up.
We previously also had a washer dryer, so plumbed in. I didn't like that as it was really slow to dry and there was no fluff collecting
I've started to look at dryers and I see there is also a 3rd type which is a heat pump one - they sound slow, but efficient - not sure if they need to be plumbed in. Plus, if they are reeeeaaaallllly slow, then i can leave stuff on the clothes horse
Any advice/recommendations?
Thank you
