A heat pump tumble dryer heats and dehumidifies air in a closed circuit and reuses the same heat again and again instead of blowing it out. As a result it uses less electricity than a dryer with a conventional heating element, and laundry dries at a lower temperature, which is gentler on clothes. The WQG2420PSN has energy class A++ and an annual consumption of 237 kWh, a good figure for an appliance a family runs several times a week.
The drum takes 9 kg of laundry, so you can move a full washing machine load straight into the dryer without splitting it. That is handy in a household where bedding, towels and children's clothes are washed in large batches. The door with a viewing window lets you see what is happening in the drum, and the front-loading design allows the dryer to stand under a worktop or next to the washing machine.
According to the manufacturer, the dryer has a self-cleaning function. On heat pump dryers this means the appliance keeps its air circuit clean by itself, so manual cleaning is needed less often and drying efficiency stays consistent for longer. The lint filter should still be cleaned after every cycle, because it collects fibres from the clothes and affects the airflow through the dryer.
Programmes are chosen with a rotary selector, settings are adjusted with touch keys, and the LED display shows the information you need. Delayed start lets you schedule drying so the laundry is ready, for example, in the morning or when you get home. This model has no steam function. The maximum noise level is 63 dB, worth bearing in mind if the dryer stands near a living room or bedroom.
The dryer is 59.8 cm wide, 61.3 cm deep and 84.2 cm high, and weighs 52.6 kg. These are the dimensions of a typical front-loading washing machine, so it fits the same kind of niche or the space beside the washer. When checking the depth, allow free space for opening the door and behind the appliance so that loading and unloading stay comfortable.
The WQG2420PSN suits a family that washes in a large 8–9 kg machine and wants to dry bedding and towels in one load. The heat pump and energy class A++ keep electricity costs low even with frequent use, self-cleaning reduces maintenance, and delayed start helps fit drying around the daily routine.
