Neff ovens - are they any good?

[hotpotmama]

We are having a new kitchen and Neff seem to be the ones that people want but I know nothing about ovens or hobs or anything really.

So, if you have a neff oven, is it worth it and would you get one with a microwave function to save space?

I have a double one. Had it for about a month now. So far I am happy with it. Haven't tried all of the functions yet though! Also have a Neff gas hob and very pleased with that too.

I got a 2008 model from appliancesdirect.co.uk for a good price.

Ta for that cece. Will have a look at that website.

I find it all far too confusing!

this one is last years model but only a series 1. I got a series 3 one but they don't have it anymore.

I'll look some more...

Good value single oven also 2008 model.

wow look how many cooking functions!

My last neff broke down 4 times in 5 years. Cost over £800 and was just rubbish.

This is my hob. 2009 model...

Oh no thats not good gene.

Cece, thanks for all the links!

Having fun now! Here is my cooker hood. Was advised this is as good as if not better than a Neff hood. Plus loads cheaper!

My parents' Neff oven is about 25yo and still works as well as it did when it was new. The door hinge had to be replaced once. My mum would like to replace it with another Neff.

What I would like, when we finally get around to replacing our kitchen, is to have a conventional oven and a combi microwave oven, so that I can use both at the same time. I often find myself doing so with what we currently have.

Ta for that prettycandles.

I want a 5 burner hob cece but am thinking of a glass one just so its easier to clean (am so lazy!).

I hate cleaning and so far it cleans fine. The oven I have is glass and also seems to clean fine too.

We did our kitchen about five years ago and installed two Neff ovens, one of which (the one I use most) is a combination oven. We've had no problems with either. The combination oven is great, micro conventional grill and fan. Love it, except for cleaning - the door hinges at the bottom rather than the side, which means you're stretching to reach the back corners to clean inside. My second oven is mainly used at Christmas and has a fantastic feature, the oven door slides under the oven, SOOO easy to clean compared to the combi.

As to hobs, we put in a 4-ring induction hob and a wok burner. The induction has a glass surface, again great for cleaning. The wok burner is only used occasionally, but sometimes it is handy to have a fifth ring available, and it is impressively powerful when used.

Overall still happy with what we chose back then. Good luck!

There was a Neff oven and hob in a self-catering cottage we stayed in and I fell in love.

Thanks all! Don't suppose any you have a kutchenhaus kitchen too do you? Want opinions on them.

any of you even

No our kitchen is from Benchmarx

not heard of them. Are they local to you?

What about neff dishwashers and fridges? They have CDA appliances at Kutchenhaus but never heard of that brand before.

Benchmarx is a chain but think it is mainly in the South East. Here

Our cooker hood is CDA, almost no brand iyswim. It has no brand label at all so 'goes' with other brands, does that make sense?

Is it any good as far as cooker hoods go?

Am not in the South East, am up North but thanks for the link anyway.

I have a fairly basic Neff oven (I didn't buy the one I thought I was buying ) which I am pretty happy with. It performs very well & has an aquatherm (???) cleaning system, where you heat up a detergent solution in the oven bottom, then wipe it all down, which would have been great if I hadn't let the grease get away from me & bake in.

The one I thought I was getting had pyrolytic (???) liners & I think that would be better.

(There was a one-digit difference in the model numbers eg 1322 & 1332 )

It seems to do the job.

not had any problems with mine so far (touch wood)

Just bought one, fingers crossed! Quite expensive...
