Cooking inspires people. People inspire NEFF.

NEFF stands for inspiration, enjoyment, and a passion for cooking.

When Carl Andreas Neff founded his company in 1877, he revolutionized the way people thought about kitchens. The focal point for him wasn’t the stove, but the cook: “My cooker should be designed to serve people, and not the other way round.”

With that approach, NEFF introduced one of the most important ingredients into the world of cooking – enthusiasm, which makes preparing food a pleasure.

The kitchen is the heart of every home, a place to meet and eat, and to get creative. NEFF’s goal is to create an extensive range of quality kitchen appliances that make life in the kitchen a daily pleasure; marry innovation and design, style and versatility. Whatever you’re doing in the kitchen, you’ll find the perfect partner in your NEFF appliance.

NEFF appliances are designed to inspire you and change the way you use your kitchen. The innovative features are there to help you be at your best, whether you’re a busy person who’s always on the go, a budding Celebrity Chef in the making, or a dinner party host with the most. Your NEFF appliances will work hard, so you can make it look easy.
