The Hoover HREC9TE 9kg condenser dryer costs £279 and is rated 4.1 stars from 142 ratings, with a B energy class and a vent-free condenser design.

It takes fifth because it is first in its own category while its capacity field reads nine load — a number attached to a word that is not a unit — which is the same fault as the machine at number six uses for eight.
