Neff Dishwasher Reviews

The German company Neff is a leading manufacturer of high-quality household appliances. Neff appliances are well-known and loved in Germany, so it's no wonder that almost half of their production remains in the country, and approximately one-third is exported to the UK. The remaining "small fraction" is exported to third countries, including Russia. Neff dishwashers deserve special attention. Let's find out what Russian consumers think of these appliances and whether they're worth the extra cost.

Neff S513G40X0R

Ksenia, Moscow

It's quite an expensive appliance, and if it weren't for the promotion that gave me a discount, I probably wouldn't have even considered it. I've had the Neff S513G40X0R in my household for about seven months now. It's a superb built-in dishwasher with a rich feature set and is very well made. There is only one minus – the price, but there are many pluses.

1. The washing chamber is very spacious. You can fit even large pots in it if you want.
2. There is an intensive program that can wash away anything.
3. The half-load function is adjustable. You can select the level at which water and detergent are dispensed.
4. The machine is virtually silent thanks to its quiet inverter motor.
5. There is a load sensor, and the machine can also automatically recognize the type of detergent being used and adjust the washing program accordingly.
6. There is a delayed start and its time is not limited.

The dishwasher door has a very convenient and smooth closing mechanism. This prevents the door from opening or closing abruptly, but allows you to lock it in any convenient position.

I could go on and on about my dishwasher, but I don't want to hog your attention. Just believe me, it's a very good machine. It was built with care and thought through every detail for the European consumer. I think it's worth the money!

Vladislava, Krasnodar

My parents bought a Neff S513G40X0R last year, and since they're always traveling on business, I'm the one using the machine. Previously, while my parents were away, I'd wash the dishes by hand, for myself, my grandmother, and my younger brother. Now the dishwasher does all the work. All I have to do is load the dishes, add detergent, and run the program, then put the clean, dry dishes away in the cupboard. Pure bliss. I wish I could find an iron that does the ironing itself, because I hate that too.

Ivan, Novosibirsk

I hadn't used this brand of appliances before, but then I got the chance to get a good dishwasher at a discount. The Neff S513G40X0R works absolutely flawlessly, a dream come true. Everything fits and rearranges in the baskets. There's very little plastic, just metal throughout. It feels like the Germans made this dishwasher to last for decades. I'm very pleased!

Neff S515M60X0R

Artem, St. Petersburg

1150 euros is quite a lot for a dishwasher, but I really wanted to please my beloved wife. I didn't install it myself; I called in professionals. During the first wash, I noticed how quiet the entire process was; you couldn't even hear the water pumping. It uses all sorts of detergents; I bought a large pack to start with. BioMio dishwasher tablets, but I don't think there's much difference for this type of equipment. We've only washed the dishes a few times so far, and there are no complaints. When the wash is complete, a beep sounds and a beam appears. Five stars!

Yana, Yekaterinburg

An insanely expensive dishwasher with mediocre functionality. It doesn't even have a turbo dryer. Why pay such an exorbitant price? You can get a good Bosch dishwasher with exactly the same features for half the price. This machine was made by Germans for Germans; there's no point in buying it for us, especially with the current euro exchange rate.

Anna, Belgorod

I've had my Neff S515M60X0R for almost a year and a half without a hitch. The cleaning quality is always impeccable, and there's no noise. You can use half a dose, sometimes even less. It cleans everything, from powder to tablets. Five stars, no arguments!

Neff S58E47X2RU

Valentin, Volgograd

Six months ago, I decided to install a dishwasher in our kitchen. I read a lot of information on various websites and forums and came to the conclusion that we needed a German brand, but not Bosch. My budget was limited, so I had to visit almost every store in town before I came across the Neff S58E47X2RU. It's a narrow-bodied machine, but it was very roomy.

I spent only 30 minutes installing it, as the Germans included everything I needed. I also hung the door panel without any difficulty. The dishes are always clean now, and the machine runs like a fine Swiss watch. If you have the money, it's better to get this type of machine; you won't regret it.

Elena, Moscow

I've only been using the machine for a month, but I can already tell it was made by true professionals. The materials are top-quality; this isn't some cheap Chinese junk. The assembly is solid, all the fasteners and rollers are in place, and everything works flawlessly. The baskets don't jam when moving, and loading dishes in them is a pleasure. I used to have a Candy dishwasher, and comparing it to a Neff S58E47X2RU is like putting a Bentley and a Zaporozhets side by side. These appliances simply can't be compared!

Eduard, Novosibirsk

My wife used a Bosch dishwasher for many years, and she had virtually no problems. About three months ago, the electronics in the machine burned out, so we decided to replace it and got a slim Neff S58E47X2RU. I'm no expert, but it's obvious at first glance that Neff's makers put a lot of effort into making this dishwasher so well-made. They even managed to optimize the program runtimes, so the machine cleans faster and better than our broken Bosch. I highly recommend it!

Neff S58M58X2RU

Julia, Moscow

This dishwasher is very technologically advanced. It took me a while to learn how to use it, but now I know the ropes. My previous dishwasher didn't clean baking sheets well, even on the intensive cycle. I didn't know what was wrong and washed these unusual dishes by hand every time. The Neff S58M58X2RU has a special attachment for washing baking sheets. With it, even a dried-out and greasy item regains its pristine cleanliness. There's no need to even talk about little things like half-load, floor-mounted wash, and height-adjustable baskets, as almost every modern dishwasher has these features.

Dmitry, Saratov

In my opinion, even despite its quality, this machine is overpriced. I've had it for a year now, and so far there haven't been any unpleasant surprises, but I'm a bit hesitant. I could have gotten a good dishwasher for $250 less.

Alexandra, Pskov

Neff is a brand that never lets you down. Three years ago, I bought a Neff electric stove, and now I'm getting a Neff S58M58X2RU dishwasher. It won't go out of date for a long time and will work perfectly for at least 20 years, I'm sure of it.

According to statistics kept by the German Association of Household Appliance Manufacturers, Neff products last an average of 17.6 years, which is very likely true.

Neff S51L43X1RU

Mark, St. Petersburg

I've been using the Neff S51L43X1RU dishwasher for a long time, and it never ceases to amaze me. It's assembled in Poland, not Germany, which is even better, as a similar model assembled in Germany costs twice as much. The machine cleans everything, even stubborn dirt from old metal dishes; I think it deserves the highest praise.

Irina, Tver

Less than a week later, the washing machine broke. I had a feeling I shouldn't have bought a brand I didn't know, and now I've paid the price. The service department seemed to admit it was a manufacturing defect, but now I've been waiting two days for the seller's decision. I really hope he gives me a voluntary refund, otherwise I'll tear him to shreds in court!

Valeria, Moscow

I'd heard a lot about Neff appliances and read a lot of good reviews, so I opted for the Neff S51L43X1RU. It was a mistake. The machine works poorly, it heats the water intermittently, and the program often freezes. The mechanic came, and as luck would have it, she washed everything just fine. We took the car to the service center for diagnostics, and I don't know how it will end. What a waste of money and time!
