General Enquiries And Questions

Have noticed great similarities in the white goods of Neff, Bosch and Siemens.

Are they all the same company. I know that Bosch and Siemens are basically the same company but what about Neff?

And is it worth paying the extra over, say, Hotpoint? :roll:

I was about to buy a Neff 1722 built-under double oven but now I'm unsure.

Neff is only a Built-In Product brand. They do not make "freestanding" products. They are part of the bsh group which manufacture the brands as mentioned by previous poster.

Neff are a strong brand in the UK in Built In. Hotpoint are also a strong brand but bot so much in integrated products. Hotpoint is now owned by the indesit group (Ariston). Hotpoint products in the built in sector are trying to build on the success of the hotpoint Uk brand strong in homelaundry. Their products are not anywhere near as good as Neff or BSH group. I say this from knowledge in the indusrty as well as personal experience with "indesit group" products.

The one thing you can be sure of though. A built under double oven are basically a UK product. Europe and most of the world do not really use double ovens. Us Brits LOVE to Grill. So all built under double ovens from all manufactiures are made in the UK.

Do me a favour! Dont buy Hotpoint. and you'll be allright

They do freestanding Microwave Ovens

Greg

yeah but they are outsourced! and only freestanding because they have a corresponding kit to build em in.

Oh and Range Cookers

Greg

and american style fridge freezers too!


but hardly an extensive range

What you meant to say was that they are mainly a built in appliance manufacturer.

Greg

Yes that.

Not sure about that fact.

Whirlpool make lots of double ovens - in Italy.
SMEG make lots of double ovens - in Italy.
Comet sell lots of Proline double ovens, which could be made anywhere in Europe, except the UK.
