    @[Deleted User] It's a Bosch heat pump condenser, about 8 years old

    @ProDave it's free electricity anyway from the panels on the roof, so still dried by sunshine (but that did make me LOL)

    I said I would report back on my "dryer balls" and if they do actually cut down the drying time as claimed. Previously had said it seemed faster but I wanted proof.

    I used exactly the same wash load, king-sized bedding, washed on the same programme.

    With dryer balls took 36 minutes. Without dryer balls took 48 minutes.

    So a perfect 25% saving,  the manufacturer (Ecoegg) claimed up to 28% so not bad.
    Good Intel.
