Verdict
The Bosch WQG1420DFR suits busy families, with quiet running and AutoDry that stops at the right time, but it has no connectivity and an energy class D rating.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Bosch WQG1420DFR Serie 6

  • The 9 kg drum takes a big family load in one go.
  • AutoDry stops at the right moment on towels, jeans and jumpers.
  • In tests it measured about 63 dB, quiet enough to talk nearby.
  • Fast mode dries three shirts in 40 min.
  • The mini load setting suits a few items.
  • The filter pulls out at the front and rinses under the tap.

What we don't like about Bosch WQG1420DFR Serie 6

  • At 48.2 kg it is heavy to move and install.
  • The 65.4 cm depth needs a deep cupboard space.
  • There is no app control or connectivity.
  • The filter needs rinsing about every two weeks.
  • Energy class D is only average.

Verdict

Made to sit inside a cabinet, the Bosch WQG1420DFR Serie 6 is a heat pump dryer. Its 9 kg drum takes a big load in one go. The AutoDry sensors stop the cycle at the right moment, so towels and jeans come out dry without being overdone. Fast mode dries three shirts in about 40 min, and the mini load setting suits a few items. In tests it measured about 63 dB, quiet enough to talk or watch TV nearby. Its antivibration design keeps the running steady. The trade-off is size and weight. At 48.2 kg and 65.4 cm deep it needs a sturdy floor and a deep space. It suits a household that wants a quiet dryer for daily loads and has room for a heavy machine.
