NEFF Kitchens, Suppliers and Showrooms

Neff kitchens have a reputation for quality and innovation. Perhaps many kitchen suppliers would claim similar things, but the fact is that the vast majority of kitchen showrooms today, whether Neff or not, demonstrate a significant number of features and innovations which were pioneered by Neff over the past 125 years.

The very concept of a fitted kitchen was first promoted by Neff - just one example of how much impact Neff has had on the way in which we view kitchen installations and designs today. Neff introduced the world's first combination fitted oven and microwave unit, and developed the CircoTherm® fan oven method of heating, which has proven to be one of the most popular concepts in fan assisted cooking the world over.

If you visit a Neff showroom you may be forgiven at first for believing that Neff are all about style, and certainly the look of a Neff kitchen is both unmistakable and a delight to explore. But scratch the surface of a Neff kitchen and you'll start to discover the remarkable attention to detail. It's so often those small things which can make a huge difference to the way you work and feel within your kitchen.

The kitchen is the heart of a home - and most of us spend a great deal of time in our kitchen. But unlike most rooms, a kitchen serves a very practical function, and it is important that you are able to work smoothly, effectively and efficiently within it. With a Neff kitchen you'll not find cheap steel surfaces, but quality marked, genuine stainless steel. The handles are a pleasure to hold, the drawers seem to glide; the way that units fit together and work together is almost like a well oiled machine.

Perhaps the secret behind the success of Neff kitchens is the fact that they have been designed around cooks, and those of us who enjoy cooking. This might seem an obvious thing to do, but all too often today household goods and units are designed and built with more superficial aspects in mind, such as visual appearance, cost and productivity related issues.

If you spend time in your kitchen you'll be aware just what a difference small details can make. If you've ever tried cooking a three course meal, you may have found yourself carrying out calculations to stagger cooking times, spent time rearranging items in the cooker, moving things about, turning items over and swapping shelves. Thanks to Neff's innovative CircoTherm® system such troubles are no longer of any concern.

By using fans to direct heated air directly onto the food, the heat is where you need it to be. Items on shelves 1,3 and 4 will all cook at exactly the same rate - no need to start swapping hot dishes of spitting food from one shelf to another. In fact, because hot air is being directed straight onto the food, less heat is required, which reduces the amount of spitting. This might seem a small detail - but less spitting means a cleaner oven! Again, just one example of how a small detail can make a big difference. Next time you're scrubbing the blackened remains of yesterday's dinner off the inside of your cooker, you might think about Neff's innovative designs.

One of the things which Neff truly understands is that not all of us have kitchens large enough to host a football match, but at the same time, there should be no need to sacrifice style, functionality, convenience, or flexibility. Neff kitchen appliances are compact, with a number of added features and functions rarely found even in the bulkier models sometimes seen in fitted kitchens.

For example, Neff's combination microwave and traditional oven is also available with integrated warming drawers - ideal for defrosting food, melting chocolate or just warming plates. With microwaves now standard in almost every kitchen, it's about time that they were integrated into conventional oven units. Cooks prefer convenience, but there's nothing convenient about having two cookers in different parts of the kitchen. Visit any Neff showroom and you'll be amazed at the way everything seems to be to hand, in just the right configuration, and with functionality that places convenience at your fingertips.

As Neff stockists we can see how kitchens can be built around cooks and those who enjoy spending time in the kitchen as well as being designed around those who just want to get on with getting dinner cooked thoroughly, quickly and conveniently. For some kitchen designers there seems to be a constant struggle between style and functionality. With a Neff kitchen, it's clear that the two can go together just as well as coffee and cream.
