Neff vs Siemens Dishwashers

Neff and Siemens are close rivals in the premium UK market, but Siemens sits at a higher price point in this list. Neff offers four integrated models from £489 to £799, including the Neff S155HVX00G at £489 and the Neff S187ZCX03G at £799. Siemens starts at £699 with the SN23EC03ME, rises to £799 for the SN25ZI07CE and SN25EW13CE, and tops out at £999 for the SN27TI02CE smart model. The Neff S187ZCX03G and the Siemens SN25EW13CE both cost £799, so the choice comes down to features.

Both brands share Home Connect app control and a similar premium engineering base. Neff adds Flex 3 racking with a dedicated cutlery drawer, the Chef 70°C programme and Zeolith drying, while Vario Speed Plus cuts programme time by up to 66%. Siemens offers varioSpeed Plus as its speed feature, along with Rack Matic, Glass Zone and Zeolith drying on the SN25ZI07CE. The SN27TI02CE adds a Zeolith compartment and flexComfort Pro racking. Siemens also cites hygienePlus and a 10-year iQdrive motor warranty.

Neff suits households that want a premium integrated dishwasher at a slightly lower price, particularly the S875HKX21G slimline at £549 for a compact kitchen. Siemens suits buyers who want the most advanced loading and drying options, with the SN25EW13CE at £799 offering half-load capability and fast cycles. The Neff S875HKX21G slimline at £549 is £250 below the Siemens SN25ZI07CE at £799. Replacement parts can be expensive for both brands, and some Siemens models need Wi-Fi for full functionality, so consider how much you will use the app.

Bottom line: choose Neff if you want a premium integrated machine from £489 with Zeolith drying and Home Connect. Choose Siemens if varioSpeed Plus, Rack Matic and the iQdrive motor warranty are worth spending from £699 or more.
