Hot topic: Inventor claims clothes dryer is 10 times faster and irons too

AN IRISH inventor has developed a revolutionary clothes dryer which dries clothes 10 times faster than a conventional tumble dryer — and it irons them as well.

Weighing less than 1lb and powered by a domestic hair dryer, the Vapper Dryer looks like a suit cover and can be hung on a door hook.

Capable of drying several garments at a time, the business end has an inflatable insert which fills up with hot air and an outer plastic cover which holds onto the heat.
