My First Heat Pump Dryer
We have just brought this dryer after having our old vented dryer for over 20 years. This dryer is amazing!! Quiet, great capacity, and the amount of water that is collected from the drying process is unbelievable. And to think that all of the water was being put back into our laundry and causing condensation.

Looks amazing, performs amazing.
This dryer is efficient, and effective. It holds a large amount of items and unlike my previous heat pump dryer, this one drys large items like sheets and Doona covers. I have the matching pair now with the washing machine, and they look amazing together but more importantly, they are extremely functional. My only minor, unimportant gripe is that It could give me a better tune when it’s finished, it’s very easy to miss the beeps.

Love the dryer but there is still a bad oil smell after 3 weeks, thought it would be gone by now, makes the clothes smell a bit unusual

It suits families or regular laundry users with its 8kg capacity, sensor drying and 12 programs. Key strengths are energy performance and garment protection, but it may feel basic if you want steam functions or a larger premium-capacity dryer.
What it’s great for
- Family laundry
- Energy-conscious drying
- Mixed fabric loads

- Regular weekly washing
Where it works best
- Family homes
- Apartments with dedicated laundry space

Things to consider
This model focuses on efficient, reliable drying rather than premium extras, so shoppers wanting steam refresh, app control or a larger drum may prefer a higher-end alternative.
Energy efficiency score
10/10 - outstanding 9-star energy rating for a full-size heat pump dryer
Family laundry suitability
8/10 - 8kg capacity and versatile programs suit medium to larger households well
Allergy suitability
7/10 - includes a Hygiene Plus mixed program, though it is not a specialist allergy-focused model
Noise level vs category
7/10 - likely in line with typical heat pump dryer performance, but no specific noise figure is provided
Ease of use rating
8/10 - sensor drying, self-cleaning condenser and anti-crease features make day-to-day use straightforward
Key benefits
- 8kg Capacity: Handles larger household loads more comfortably, reducing the need for multiple drying cycles.
- Heat Pump Technology: Dries clothes more gently at lower temperatures, helping protect fabrics during frequent use.
- 9-Star Energy Rating: Delivers very strong energy performance for lower running costs compared with less efficient dryer types.
- Auto Dry Sensors: Detect when clothes are dry to help prevent over-drying and support better garment care.
- Self Cleaning Condenser: Reduces maintenance effort and helps the dryer continue performing consistently over time.
- Anti-Crease Function: Helps minimise wrinkling when you cannot unload the dryer straight away.
- 12 Drying Programs: Gives flexible settings for cottons, delicates, sportswear, towels, wool and more.
- Half Load Option: Lets you dry smaller loads more conveniently without waiting for a full basket.
Q: Does the Bosch WQG235DRAU take longer to dry than a vented dryer?
A: Yes. Heat pump dryers like the WQG235DRAU usually run longer than vented models, especially on full cotton loads, because they dry at lower temperatures. The trade-off is lower energy use, gentler fabric care and less harsh heat in the laundry.
Q: Is the 8kg capacity suitable for sheets and larger family loads?
A: Yes. An 8kg drum suits most family laundry loads, including towels, everyday clothing and many sheet sets. Very bulky items, such as heavy or high-fill doonas, can still need more drum space to tumble freely and dry evenly.
Q: How does the Self Cleaning Condenser help on this Bosch heat pump dryer?
A: It helps maintain drying efficiency by automatically rinsing fluff from the condenser during operation. That means less manual condenser cleaning than on some dryers, although the lint filter still needs regular cleaning to keep airflow consistent.
Q: Is the Bosch WQG235DRAU a good option if the laundry gets hot or humid?
A: Yes. Because it uses heat pump technology rather than venting hot air outside, it generally releases less heat and moisture into the room than a conventional vented dryer. That can make enclosed laundries more comfortable during longer cycles.
Q: What does the Half Load option actually change on the Bosch WQG235DRAU?
A: It adjusts the cycle for a smaller load rather than treating it like a full drum. In practice, that can reduce unnecessary running time and energy use, but the final cycle length still depends on fabric type, load thickness and selected dryness level.
