Every Neff dishwasher here is fully integrated. It is built in behind a door that matches your cabinets, so the dishwasher is out of sight and the kitchen keeps an unbroken run of units. The models span Neff's N30, N50, N70 and N90 series. The entry-level N30 models cover the basics, and each step up adds quieter running, more programmes and more refined controls. All of them are listed under Neff built-in dishwashers.

Size is the first decision. Most are Neff full-size dishwashers, 60 cm wide and holding 12 to 14 place settings, which suits a family kitchen. If your gap is narrower, Neff slimline dishwashers are 45 cm wide and take 10 place settings.

Many of the N50, N70 and N90 models have Vario Hinge. As the door opens, the hinge lifts the furniture front up over the plinth. That means the dishwasher can sit at floor level with a taller door, or higher up in a raised cabinet where it is easier to load. Noise levels run from 46 dB down to 40 dB, and the quietest models are in the N70 and N90 series. That makes a real difference in an open-plan room. Energy ratings range from D to A, with one N70 rated A. Some upper models also finish their eco programme in about three and a half hours rather than closer to five. Most models connect to the internet, and some name Home Connect, which lets you start a wash from your phone. Loading varies too: some have a cutlery tray at the top, others a cutlery basket. The N90 models add a colour TFT display, an interior light and eight programmes.

To narrow the choice, measure for 45 cm or 60 cm first. Next, check your cabinet layout: if the plinth is unusual or you want a raised dishwasher, look for Vario Hinge. Then compare noise and energy ratings, which matter most if you run the dishwasher often or the kitchen opens into your living space. To match it with other appliances, browse All Neff Products.
