Needs to be the condensing type [u]and[/u] built in (or fully integrated as some call it).
Guess what? Nobody seems to make one any more (or is my research flawed).

Neff make all the best integrated appliances. IMO

Appears that they are available, but Sir will have to drop, bend and brace for impact as they look terrifically expensive!

Neither of those will do as the first is stand alone and the other is semi integrated....

I can't comment on Neff driers, but the sample size of 2 that is my parents kichen - the ovens and microwaves are less than impressive - microwave failed twice in 2 years and simply isn't used anymore, the oven over-reads the temp by 10-15°.

+1 on neff being completely duff

In our 4 year old kitchen:

- the brand new neff oven developed a terminal fault after 13 months
- the built in microwave oven has a non repairable fault that started showing at 3 years old and now shorts the power supply of used for more than 5 minutes
- the neff induction hob exploded inside just f before xmas and we've now got 2 zones left

I've had several kitchens / appliances from new and have never had a problem before. Neff quality is by contrast with cheaper brands completely absent - £2k of appliances that all need replacing within 4 years and with only moderate use in that time due to working away a lot.

Nope.
Built in vented types maybe, but not condensing.

Our Neff oven has been fine for 10 years

My personal prejudice is that applainces supplied as part of a house or "deal" with a kitchen are often junk, whatever the badge says....

ampthill - these were supplied separate and besides, I don't think that it would be feasible to have a product line with 2 separate levels of quality for each product.

White knight used to make one, not shown on their site any more but they did within the last 12 months so hunt online and call stockists you might find an old stock one.

I think everyone's dumped them due to being so energy inefficient, given Miele are £1300 you might be better off looking at options to vent. Have you looked at heat pump dryers?

Even condensing need to suck and blow 🙂

Not sure that would work great in a contained space

As the OP - we just bought a non-integrated condensing drier (which has paid for itself in electricity savings inside 2 years) and (when we get around to it) it will be built into a cupboard. You don't [u]have[/u] to have an integrated drier to do that.

It's a Siemens built in dryer that has packed up. Been working fine in its confined space, so I won't get a standalone one to fit.
I guess I'll have to get it repaired, then when the washing machine dies, buy a condensing washer dryer.

I have never owned a Neff appliance but I have had Seimens and Bosch stuff, which is basically the same with a different badge, which has all been very good.
