Neff appliances in Bristol

Slide&Hide is the reason most people come to Neff, and it is not a gimmick. The door retracts under the oven, so you can stand right up to the shelves with a heavy tray in both hands. In a small kitchen, or with a full roasting tin, it is worth more than it sounds on paper.

The rest of the range is built around cooking as well. CircoTherm moves hot air around the cavity so three shelves can run at once without flavours crossing. FlexInduction joins zones together for a griddle or a fish pan. Beyond that there are venting hobs, combination steam and microwave ovens, warming drawers, extractor hoods, integrated dishwashers and refrigeration to match.

Neff comes from the same group as Bosch and Siemens and sits at a similar level, a step up from the mainstream without going as far as Miele. Fronts are mostly black glass and stainless steel, a look that either suits your kitchen or does not. If the oven is the appliance you care about most, it is a strong choice.
