Where to buy the NEFF S295HCX17G dishwasher
🏆 Review & price summary
The NEFF S295HCX17G dishwasher is a capable full-size integrated model for busy households. Its 14-place-setting capacity, Flex 2 baskets, third-level cutlery drawer and adjustable upper basket make mixed loads easier to organise, while Chef 70°C, Power Zone and Extra Speed cover more demanding cleaning needs. Home Connect adds remote control and extra functions, and 42dB operation keeps noise down. The main compromises are the tall XXL installation requirement and the lengthy 4-hour-55-minute Eco programme.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ 14-place-setting capacity suits larger household loads
- ✓ Flex 2 baskets, foldable tines, Rackmatic adjustment and a third-level cutlery drawer provide strong loading flexibility
- ✓ Chef 70°C, Power Zone and Extra Speed give useful control over stubborn residues and programme duration
- ✓ 42dB operation is quiet enough for open-plan kitchens
- ✓ Home Connect adds Wi-Fi control, Remote Start and additional app functions
- ✓ Heat-exchanger drying, AquaStop and a stainless-steel interior add useful everyday practicality
Worth considering
- The Eco programme takes 4 hours 55 minutes, so it is considerably slower than the dishwasher's shorter cycles
- The 865mm appliance height requires an XXL installation niche and is not suitable for a standard-height dishwasher space
- At 42dB, it is quiet but not among the very quietest integrated dishwashers available
- As a fully integrated appliance, it requires a compatible furniture door and built-in installation rather than offering a freestanding setup

Installation and design
The NEFF S295HCX17G dishwasher is fully integrated, so it sits behind a matching furniture door for a discreet built-in appearance. Its 865mm height and 600mm-wide installation niche make it an XXL full-size model rather than a standard-height dishwasher.
The VarioHinge system gives more flexibility around the furniture door and plinth, while adjustable feet and a horizontally and vertically adjustable plinth help with final installation. Door Open Assist is particularly useful in handleless kitchens, where a gentle push releases the door.
Loading flexibility
Fourteen place settings provide substantial capacity for family-sized loads. The Flex 2 basket system includes six foldable plate racks in both the upper and lower baskets, coloured TouchPoints and a three-stage Rackmatic top basket for adjusting clearance around taller items.
The Flex 2 cutlery drawer adds a dedicated upper level for cutlery and kitchen utensils. Ball-bearing wheels on the upper basket, low-friction wheels below, anti-slip protection and a lower-basket glass rack add useful practical detail for mixed loads.
Cleaning and drying
The programme selection covers everyday and demanding jobs, including Eco 50°C, Auto 45–65°C, Chef 70°C, Classic 60°C, Glass 40°C and Favourite. Chef 70°C, Power Zone and Extra Speed give it useful flexibility for heavily soiled cookware and shorter washes.
AquaSensor technology, a DosageAssist detergent dispenser and a self-cleaning three-piece filter system support consistent cleaning. Drying uses a heat exchanger, while the stainless-steel interior and Neff Sparkle glass-care system are designed for regular use with delicate items as well as tougher cookware.
Connected features and convenience
Home Connect provides Wi-Fi-enabled control, including Remote Start and access to additional functions such as Extra Hygiene and Silence on Demand. The Favourite setting provides a shortcut to a preferred programme and option combination.
Gap Illumination shows that a cycle is running without needing to open the door. The dishwasher also includes a remaining-time display on the top edge, an acoustic end-of-cycle signal, a delay timer with 3, 6 or 24-hour settings, child lock and AquaStop protection.
Efficiency and noise
The C-rated energy label places the appliance in the stronger middle of the current A-to-G dishwasher scale. Its Eco programme uses 75kWh per 100 cycles and 9 litres of water per cycle, although the Eco programme takes 4 hours 55 minutes.
At 42dB(A), the NEFF S295HCX17G dishwasher should be unobtrusive in an open-plan kitchen, and its B noise-emission class confirms a comparatively quiet design. The efficient SilentDrive BLDC motor and heat-exchanger drying system support the appliance's overall refinement.
