Hands that don't do dishes

Advantages: Quiet, efficient cleaning
Disadvantages: More expensive than other brands

...Neff Dishwasher S54M45 When we recently replaced our kitchen we were faced with a couple of tricky decisions regarding our existing appliances. The fridge and cooker were no brainers because they were both well past their sell by dates (although I did get £50 for the fridge on eBay). The washing machine and dishwasher posed bigger problems. Both are Bosch and less than four years old and both appeared to be still in fine condition. Ultimately we wanted both to be integrated but we decided to replace one now and change the other when it packed in. The washing machine was saved as it was a year older and the harder working so likely to fail first, I would also not feel happy selling it on. The dishwasher was a better bet for selling (it eventually went for nearly £100, again on good old eBay) so that was the one to make way. Being...

Review of Neff S54M45X5GB

Neff is the real chef in our house ... Neff built in oven U1442

Advantages: Lots of different functions available
Disadvantages: Difficult to clean in the hard to reach areas

...~~~Neff built in oven U1442~~~ We refitted our kitchen this time last year so I'm reviewing the items we carefully selected. Our previous kitchen was very basic but we'd saved quite a few penny's so spent a lot of time researching on what gadgets we could have to make our kitchen truly amazing. Our previous oven was a double free gas standing oven which was well past its sell by date! so we opted to buy a built in electric double oven. ~Cost: In total our oven cost £779 which was pretty expensive compared to some of the similar models but we did quite a lot of research and was very pleased with the reviews on this and other Neff models. Neff is a reputable company which is also part of the Bosch and Siemens home appliances groups (so we did check all makes because interestingly the parts are supplied by the same company but the prices...

Review of Neff U1442

Neff D96M5 60cm silver chimney hood

Advantages: stylish, inexpensive, functional and practical
Disadvantages: maybe a bit noisy

...I fitted out my kitchen in 2006 and furnished it completed with Neff appliances. I solicited some reviews from my colleagues about 2nd level appliance manufacturers and Neff came out as one. 1st level in my opinion - bosch, whirlpool, hotpoint, zanussi 2nd level - neff, smeg 3rd level - miele, fischer/paykel Having never heard of Neff before I duly ordered the integrated appliance brochures and was amazed at the style, functionality and practicality of their products. I selected this hood because I have a small space and the theme was silver, contemporary . It is very stylish and has 2 halogen lights, more than sufficient for the space it covers. Also the grill is dishwasher safe, so I put that in my Neff dishwasher! It has easy to select controls. as for noise, i feel it is a bit noisy but did not have the opportunity to...

Review of Neff D96M5

NEFF K4624x4GB

Advantages: Space & Quality
Disadvantages: None

...What a find! There aren't many really large integrated fridges on the market but extensive research kept bringing this one up as the best and my experience so far confirms my research. It doesn't fail on the main reason for buying it - space. It has excellent capacity with superb door storage. The vegetable drawers are large and keep everything amazingly fresh. The split shelf is an ingenious idea and the tube holder (for garlic puree/tomato puree etc.) a nice extra touch. There are 2 egg holders for 6 eggs each but because the door shelves/storage are curved you wont fit both on one shelf. (Not really a problem though as ample room for everything anyway) Its extremely quiet,well made and with the Neff reputation for quality, its perfect. Although quite expensive its well worth the money. I've put this review on to save you going insane...

Review of Neff B1644

So Dishy

Advantages: Quiet, great results, packs a lot in, great for a quickie.
Disadvantages: The beeping, length of wash.

...****Description**** This dishwasher looks pretty ugly when you see it standing alone. When disguised behind a maple cupboard door, which is what we chose for our kitchen units, it looks absolutely brilliant! (If you like maple doors that is - you cannot see the dishwasher most of the time)! The Neff model S5443 not forgetting the X1GB addendum, is a stainless steel appliance specifically designed to be built into a unit. Neff is a German company. Our previous dishwasher was a white AEG stand alone model. It was great but the kitchen design company we chose, only worked with Neff so we had to have a model from their range. The AEG although 7 years old went to a new home and is still going strong. I would have happily chosen another AEG model. When you open the cupboard door, a black edged panel greets you with the controls...

Review of Neff

Neff microwave oven combi

Advantages: Very flexible usage; looks good
Disadvantages: Wattage doesn't match standard microwave meals

...We purchased this to supplement a Neff single oven so that we could grill at the same time as cooking in the oven. This was a constant source of frustration with our old single oven. This combination microwave has been a revelation - it has 5 microwave wattage settings varying from 90 up to 1000 watts. The only downside being that if you are doing microwave meals they are typically cooked at around 800 watts - most counter top microwaves are around this wattage. The closest this microwave gets to the 800 watt mark is 650. The highest wattage of 1000 is only suitable for heating up liquids and not food. Having said that, the flexibility that this machine offers is amazing - it operates as an oven and a grill in its own right. However, where it comes into its own is the ability to combine microwave cooking with the oven facility...

Review of NEFF H5972 S/S

Dishwashers Do It Better Than Me

Advantages: Efficient and economic - has worked perfectly for 3 years
Disadvantages: none

...Well that’s my excuse anyway. OK I admit it – I’m a bit of a lazy cow but I just couldn’t live without a dishwasher and I have had one sort or another for about 20 years. At the moment I own a Neff S4340 dishwasher which I believe has been replaced now by the S5453. I have had it for three years and it has worked perfectly at all times with absolutely no problems. My first dishwasher (s) were my kids. Being an evil sort of parent I bribed them into doing the dishes for pocket money. I probably wouldn’t get away with it today with Childline and kids rights and things like that but those were the good old days. To be honest though children aren’t very good dishwashers – they are much too noisy, they are unkind to crockery, they use too much water and detergent and they don’t get the stuff...

Review of Neff

Never wash the dishes yourself again!!!!!!

Advantages: energy and water efficient, washes the dishes so you dont have to
Disadvantages: the end of cycle beeping goes on a bit

...good in the first place - lol. Since getting my dishwasher the chore has become loading and unloading the dishwasher, but I would never be without one now as I find that this appliance does the job so much better than myself alone. I never have to wash or dry and that is so convenient. The Neff dishwashers have a hydro sensor which allows water from the first rinse cycle to be re-used if it is clean enough - say if you had lightly soiled dishes, it can save 4-5 litres of water. Usage You can use dishwashing tablets or liquid in this appliance, it is your choice, but even if you have tablets with salt, you should still put separate salt in the unit. This will soften the water and prevent your appliance calcifying. The appliance comes with a digital timer display but I think the Neff guys did not consider it's usage. As...

Review of Neff S5555

It's hot, hot, hot

Advantages: Reliable brand, looks good, fairly priced against competition
Disadvantages: Size and price

...the long term state of the smudge-attracting finish and its overly fussy knobs and fascia eventually put us off. From the beginning our kitchen supplier suggested this Neff model, it certainly fitted the bill; a good brand with the right look and size. The quoted price of just over £2000 was more than we'd hoped to pay but all in all it was a good starting point. Ranges will broadly fall into two types, you have the modern stainless steel models for that professional kitchen look or you have the more colourful Aga-lite models for a more rustic look. Most are dual fuel with electric ovens and gas hobs and all types come with a choice of configurations. You can have one, two or three ovens and the hob can be augmented with long burners and griddles alongside the normal choices for burner sizes. Prices start from under £1000 for budget...
