It also boasts a large, rotating control, the ‘NeffNavigator’, with easy to navigate, multiple menu options and touch sensors where you can select the most frequently used functions. Our customers always give great reviews of the Neff products and we love this particular model as it’s unlike anything else on the market. Be ahead of the rest!

Quick & easy way to save money and the environment...

You could save around £137 a year in electricity bills if you replace an old appliance. This figure was calculated through a 3 week test that was carried out when a couple had their 10 year+ fridge freezer replaced with an A++ model. A++ appliances consume 30% less energy than A+-labelled appliances, and 45% less than A-labelled ones. This change could easily recoup the cost of a new appliance over just 3 years, plus a quick and easy way to save money and save the environment. See Time to Change online for more information.

Refrigerators, freezers and combined fridge-freezers are second only to central heating for domestic power consumption. According to the Energy Savings Trust, if every U.K. household upgraded to a fridge-freezer carrying their “Energy Efficiency Recommended” logo then electricity output equivalent to 2 power stations would be saved every year.

We can recommend Siemens who have two A++ rated fridge freezers, one static (KG36VX47GB) and one built in (KI38SA60) , both received the Siemens Gold Award for best energy efficiency.

Ideally duct out to the outside of your house using the correct size ducting - this is determined by the diameter of the hood; An extractor should change the air in the kitchen 8 to 12 times in one hour; You can calculate how powerful you need your extractor to be - multiply length of room x width x height.
