The money saving guru revealed what device is costing you the most to run and what to use instead
Talking on the podcast, Martin said:"Do you know what the real demon appliances are in most people's houses? The one that you really don't want to use because it's really expensive? Tumble dryers."
As it can be tough to dry your clothes quickly without one, Martin also suggested his preferred methods for doing so without a tumble dryer. He said the use of dehumidifiers can take some of the moisture out and uses less wattage than a dryer meaning it can be"more effective". Martin also revealed how different techniques when it comes to cooking can have a big impact on your bills. He said:"The problem with the equation for heating equipment is an oven is going to be about 2000W. A microwave I believe, from memory, a best guess explanation, a microwave gives you consistent heat whereas an oven is warming up to full temperature and then topping it up so it isn't running at full power the whole time.
Martin said the general equation is to seek out the wattage of an appliance, work out how many kilowatts it is using then multiply that by 34p per hour of use. He continued:"If you had a 1000W microwave and you put it on for 10 minutes, one KWH for a sixth of an hour, a sixth of 34p is about 6p, shall we say? So it's 6p turning the microwave on for that amount of time. So yes it's a very useful equation.
