Third-party reviews

What customers like about Neff S853HKX20E

  • 8.9 L of water per cycle keeps water use low.
  • At 27.3 kg it is light enough to move.
  • Wi-Fi lets you check the cycle from a phone.
  • A self-cleaning filter means less cleaning by hand.
  • A load sensor adjusts the cycle to the load.
  • Six wash programs cover the usual loads.

What customers don't like about Neff S853HKX20E

  • 10 place settings is small for a family.
  • There is no half load option, so small washes take a full cycle.
  • There is no pause option to add a forgotten plate mid-cycle.
  • At 46 dB it is clearly audible.
  • The door does not open by itself at the end of a cycle.

Verdict

Tight kitchens are where the Neff S853HKX20E makes most sense. At 27.3 kg it is light enough to move for cleaning behind it. It uses 8.9 L of water per cycle and 0.755 kWh of power. A load sensor adjusts the cycle to the load, and a self-cleaning filter means less cleaning by hand. Wi-Fi lets you check the cycle from a phone, and it has six wash programs. The trade-off is space: 10 place settings is small for a family. It has no half load option, so small washes take the same full cycle. It can also start up to 24 h later. At 46 dB it is clearly audible, and there is no pause option. It suits a small household where space and water count more than extras.
