Whatever your lifestyle, a laundry appliance is a modern day necessity. And Neff has an answer to all your laundry needs, whatever your circumstances.

These are great space savers - the perfect solution if you want the functions of both a washing machine and dryer in a single machine.

Our machines are easy to fit, slotting in neatly between two units. A full height furniture door has to be fitted to the front of the machine and can be hinged from the left or right - but remember, the porthole door on the machine can't be changed around. A plinth, which is easily removable or cut out to allow access to the pump and vent should be fitted across the bottom. Refer to the individual specification drawings for more detail.

Laundry appliances use water, energy and detergent, but we've done our best to see that Neff machines use less than most.

All our laundry appliances have been designed to gain the best energy performance rating in their class. Check the energy label for more details.

If you programme your washing appliance correctly and follow the loading instructions carefully, you'll use less detergent.

Short wash cycles as standard (inverse logic) or as an option can reduce your washing times by up to 40%.

We've developed a system which works out the optimum amount of water for different load sizes and fabrics, so you only use the amount you need.

Whether you're washing silks or woollens, cottons or colours, there's a programme on your Neff washing machine that fits the bill. There are extra rinses, smoothing programmes to remove creases, and even a programme to fluff up woolly jumpers.

Neff machines will automatically try to rebalance an unbalanced load. If this isn't possible, it will either reduce the spin or cut the spin out altogether to avoid potential damage.

The washing machine assumes the clothes are lightly soiled, rather than dirty. This reduces wash time by around 40% to just 47 minutes. For heavily soiled clothes, you should use an intensive setting.

You can programme your machine 1-19/24 hours in advance to suit your schedule or take advantage of off peak electricity rates.

On the W5340 there's a graphic symbol that tells you if you have used too much detergent. Then you are instructed to use the correct amount for more environmentally friendly washing.

This protects inlet and outlet hoses from leakage. A safety valve, independent of the electricity supply, prevents any more water from entering the washing machine and overflowing.

The W5340 has a progress bar and time indicator on the control panel which tells you how much time there's remaining on the cycle.

A pre wash can be selected for any programme except woollens.

The W5340 and W5320 have a mixed load wash programme at just 30ºC - it's fine to wash light and dark clothes together at this temperature so long as they're not too dirty.

The drum on R4381 has an interior light which comes on when you press the on/off switch.

Yes, all of our machines have a rinse/spin only cycle.
