What we like about Bosch WQG245D1ES Serie 6

  • A noise level of 61 dB keeps it quiet enough for a kitchen.
  • Humidity sensors stop the cycle once the load is dry.
  • The drum moves in both directions and keeps turning after the cycle.
  • A delayed start can be set up to 24 h ahead.
  • A 40 min fast cycle handles quick loads.
  • The condenser cleans itself, and a drying rack is included.

What we don't like about Bosch WQG245D1ES Serie 6

  • At 54.8 kg it is hard to move around a home.
  • The door hinge is fixed on the right, which may not suit every kitchen layout.
  • The front door needs open space in front for loading.
  • Its 61.3 cm depth makes it tricky in a narrow utility room.

Verdict

Quiet running is what stands out on the Bosch WQG245D1ES Serie 6, a 9 kg heat pump dryer rated at 61 dB. That is low enough for a kitchen or a small flat. At 54.8 kg it is heavy, so it is hard to move. Humidity sensors stop the cycle once the load is dry, and you can pick the drying level yourself. The drum turns both ways and keeps moving after the cycle, which helps shirts stay smooth. A fast function finishes a small load in 40 min, and a mini load setting handles a few items. The condenser cleans itself, and a drying rack is in the box. It suits a buyer who wants a gentle, quiet dryer for everyday loads and does not mind the weight.
