10 A real alternative to the dated tumble dryer, the second biggest consumer of electricity in the home. The Breeze design folds up into a compact package with laundry still attached, and can then be moved around the home and garden at will, allowing for different fabric needs and sudden changes in the weather. The product eliminates awkward rungs, and allows for full-length drying of longer items, including sheets. It includes an innovative built-in attachment system and a rain detector. Its versatility and simplicity means it can satisfy the needs of most users, especially those of older people, with its light weight and ease of operation.
