Advantages: Looks good, easy to operate
Disadvantages: Expensive, greasy fingers cause marks

...Well, yes, it's an oven, but what an oven! Seems there are four or five things which are important in an oven * Does it cook OK? * Is it easy to use * How noisy is it? * What does it look like? * How easy is it to clean? The Neff U1661 is their top-of the line model, and we paid around £800 for our stainless steel version (Coopers in Sheen, west London, since you ask). And yes, it cooks, though you do have to get used to one or two slight quirks (see below). It's been in for a couple of weeks now, and we still have not got around to using all the functions on the thing. Apart from the looks (yes, I think it looks OK--more than OK, in fact, it looks goo-ood), the most striking thing about this oven is how easy it is to use. The space-age looks are all very well, but if cooking the Sunday roast is as tough as programming a video... Read review

Advantages: Fast cooker, nice looker.
Disadvantages: Can get a bit on the hot side.

...Two, nearly three years ago I said a not very tearful goodbye to my old Creda cooker. It had served me well but was a monster to keep looking clean. As part of a new kitchen, we had to choose a Neff oven. The kitchen company we chose only fitted Neff but we were assured they were great and that was the reason they only worked with them. We chose a built in double electric oven model U1721 and a separate gas hob (see review : Lovely Hob Knobs). Model U1721 has now been upgraded to U1722 with a few minor changes to the panel and an upgrade to Energy Efficency A. ☼ Pear Shaped ☼ You could say that this oven is a bit pear shaped having a small but pretty top oven with a larger but very hot bottom. It is a pretty good looking model with transparent windows and some stylish buttons. The outer shell is matt stainless steel... Read review

Advantages: It's Billy Wilder and this is a very little box!
Disadvantages: It's 'ard to get 'old of.

...Walter Neff has a confession to make, and maybe not much time to confess: he's been shot. Gasping for breath, he tells his story to the dictaphone in his office and we see it in flashback with his deep, but wheezing voice in our ears. Neff is an insurance salesman, he's brash, full of that breezy, articulate, but bumptious articulacy that many sales reps have. He'd always felt that he could talk his way through any situation: he could sell sand to the Arabs, or snow to the Eskimos, and women fall for his rather obvious lines almost every time. Neff, though, is a man blind to his own faults and limitations, and is led unconsciously by his own superficial desires; to him life is a thing where an angle, good lines, sweet talk and an inordinate amount of boasting will get him almost anything he wants. And a lot of his thinking is done... Read review

Advantages: nil
Disadvantages: were do you want me to start

...I'll make this short as I can, because this is a really dull subject but NEFF customer services need a kick up the a***. I have three NEFF products the usual ensemble, hob/oven/hood. I recently had a problem with poor quality production that caused the stainless steel facia on the hood to detach. OK these things happen that's life etc so what? When I approached Neff for a replacement (or fix) I was asked for my appliance ENR AND FD number, all well and good but I work (which is why I can afford the products) and the numbers weren't handy. No problems I thought I registered my appliances for the extended 2 year warranty so Neff already have the numbers so with my address they will be able to cross reference and problem solved. How wrong could I be? The warranty database is NOT connected, crossed referenced or copied across... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages: Looks, ease of use, effectiveness, space
Disadvantages: None

...What can i say to capture the shere essence of this microwave. I didnt even have to read the manual because it is so easy to use and very effective. Great looks with mettalic silver and also lots of space inside, big enough to fit two plates at once. If the microwave is smaller then the space provided, it comes with an extra mettalic surrounding for decoration, in order to fill up the space and make the microewave seem alot larger. Excellent value for money and I would reccomend NEFF to anyone. I have had the microwave for 2 years now and have never had any problems with it whatsoever. I have owned 7 previous ones and this is by far the best. It has 4 seperate temperatures to choose when cooking, and also an automatic setting which adjusts the speed andf temperature of the food according to its weight.... Read review

Advantages: Durable, Looks nice
Disadvantages: Knobs

...I bought this kitchen hob as part of my new kitchen a few months ago and installation was a simple and pleasing process, as i would expect from perhaps all hobs. The central burner is extremely useful, especially for me as i come from an indian family we cook chappatis every day. Also it is useful for deep frying chips or whatever have you. The only downside to this however is the fact that when you do put something to cook on the central flame, this leaves the rest of the burners little room. It really can be a pain sometimes! Another downside to this product is the fact that unlike most hobs u may find, the knobs on the burners actually turn anticlockwise rather than clockwise. I dont use the hob much as im not the one who does most of the cooking, however, almost each time i do use i forget which way to turn it because i am so used... Read review

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

...I first encountered Neff when I kitted out the kitchen in my old house in 2006. when I moved house I had to leave them behind, so I needed a new dishwasher. I did not hesitate in going back to Neff as I really like their products. Neff combines, function, form and design. Features This is Neff's mid-range dishwasher and has the following features: * Light to show cycle in progress * five washing programmes and half load cycle * salt and rinse aid indicator * lower cutlery basket * upper knife rack * spray facility * digital timer display Rather than me going through all the standard features, you can check out www.neff.co.uk. If you are anything like me, then you will put everything in the dishwasher, from pots and pans to plastics. My view is if an item does not survive the dishwasher it was never very good in the first... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages: Easy to fit; easy to operate; good aesthetics
Disadvantages: Very expensive

...We purchased this alongside a range of other Neff appliances when we did our kitchen recently. This was the single most expensive appliance in the kitchen - which is a shame because it is probably the least used!! HOWEVER...having an island hob that is finally now in action this cooker hood is INVALUABLE! The fitting of this was amazingly easy (that seems to be a feature in a lot of Neff appliances) and although it took two of us it was essentially self supporting whilst the hood was screwed to the chimney. The only word of caution is that we were very lucky in that it fitted exactly onto two joists - if you aren't as lucky you'll fing yourselves having to put timber noggins in to support the hood. Believe me, given the weight of it I'm glad we've got a secure fixing! Amazingly the whole thing is supported by four bolts (granted... Read review
