NEFF vs Siemens Cooker Hoods

NEFF and Siemens overlap between £549 and £689. NEFF's D94QFM1N0B stainless wall-mounted hood costs £539 and its D85IFN1S0B 800mm chimney costs £689, while Siemens's 60cm LJ67BAM60B is £549 and its 80cm iQ300 LC87KFN60B is £699. NEFF starts at £299 with the D46ED22N1B, but Siemens's top model, the 90cm iQ700 LC91KLT60B, reaches £1,149. NEFF's D94QFM1N0B costs £60 less than the 90cm Siemens LJ97BAM60B at £599, so the NEFF is the cheaper 90cm option.

Siemens's iQ700 and iQ300 both use an iQdrive motor, with cookConnect, voice control and Home Connect. NEFF also supports Home Connect and uses efficient drive motors across several models. The difference is in control style: NEFF's D85IFN1S0B has cooktop-based hood control, while Siemens's touchControl Plus models on the LJ97BAM60B and LJ67BAM60B provide LED lighting and an intensive setting. Siemens's iQ-series adds voice control on top. Voice control is a Siemens feature in this comparison, while NEFF's strengths are hob-linked control and motor design.

NEFF suits a kitchen where hob-linked control and a range of sizes from 600mm to 90cm matter. Its D46ED22N1B and D83IDK1S0B are the lower-priced options. Siemens suits a buyer building a connected kitchen who wants voice control and an iQdrive motor in a built-in hood. The 90cm built-in models suit wider hobs, though the iQ700 is a significant spend at £1,149. For a family with a 90cm hob, the D94QFM1N0B's silent motor and LED lighting offer a stainless option at £539. Its D83IDK1S0B at £399 is the middle-priced NEFF option, an 80cm flat hood with a 60dB rating.

Bottom line: choose NEFF if you want a broader set of prices and sizes from £299 and hob-linked control. Choose Siemens if you want voice control and Home Connect in a built-in hood, from £549 upwards.
