NEFF N50 Built-In Microwave Oven
A neatly integrated 20-litre built-in microwave from NEFF's N50 range in graphite-grey, with 800 W of power, five levels and seven automatic programmes.
The N50 Built-In Microwave Oven brings microwave convenience into your cabinetry rather than onto your worktop. In graphite-grey with a clean LED display and knob control, it suits fitted kitchens where a countertop microwave would break the line, and households that want reheating and defrosting done simply.
Its seven automatic programmes are the everyday heroes: choose the programme and the microwave applies sensible default settings, taking the guesswork out of routine jobs. Five power levels from 90 W to 800 W cover gentle defrosting through to full-power heating, managed by inverter technology for gradual, even results.
Ideal For
Designed for building in, it sits flush in a standard niche around 56 to 56.8 cm wide, keeping worktops clear and the kitchen's lines unbroken in graphite-grey.
A white LED display with knob control and a push-button door mean no menus to wade through; reheating leftovers or defrosting mince takes seconds to set up.
Finished in the same graphite-grey design language as NEFF's cooking range, it pairs naturally beneath or beside an existing NEFF oven.
Key Features
Full power for quick heating, with inverter technology that regulates output for gradual, even warming rather than blasted edges and cold centres.
Settings at 90, 180, 360, 600 and 800 W run from delicate defrosting and softening through to full-speed reheating.
Preset programmes apply the right defaults for common dishes, so you pick the programme and let the microwave decide power and timing.
The 20-litre cavity with included turntable handles dinner plates, bowls and standard microwave cookware comfortably.
The Easy Clean hydrolytic system loosens dried-on splashes in a couple of minutes, so a quick wipe finishes the job.
At 38.2 cm tall and 31.7 cm deep it fits a 30 cm deep wall unit, bringing the microwave up to eye level.
Simple controls, deliberately so
Not every kitchen wants a touchscreen. The HLAWD23G0B pairs a white LED display with a physical knob, and the door opens with a button press. Setting a time or power level is immediate and tactile, and anyone in the household can operate it without instruction. The seven automatic programmes extend that simplicity: they carry sensible preset settings for everyday tasks, so the most-used functions are also the quickest to reach. For a lot of buyers, that restraint is precisely the appeal.
Inverter power that treats food gently
Conventional microwaves switch full power on and off to approximate lower settings. NEFF's intelligent inverter technology instead regulates output for gradual, even heating, which matters most at the delicate end: defrosting without cooking the edges, softening butter without melting it. Five levels from 90 W to 800 W give you the range, and it is worth knowing that in extended operation the system regulates maximum output to 600 W, a deliberate design choice that protects even results.
Made to disappear into your kitchen
Building a microwave in changes how a kitchen works. At 38.2 x 59.4 x 31.7 cm, this N50 slots into a niche between 36.2 and 36.5 cm high and 56 to 56.8 cm wide, with just 30 cm of depth required, so it suits a standard 60 cm wall or tall unit. That raises the microwave to a comfortable height, frees worktop space and keeps the graphite-grey fascia flush with your doors. Afterwards, the hydrolytic Easy Clean system keeps the 20-litre cavity presentable with a couple of minutes' effort.

The Verdict
Strengths
- Built-in design keeps worktops completely clear
- 800 W maximum power across five levels
- Seven automatic programmes with sensible presets
- Inverter technology for gradual, even heating
- Hydrolytic Easy Clean cavity cleaning system
- Simple LED display with tactile knob control
Considerations
- This is a microwave only; there is no grill or oven function, so browning and crisping still belong to your main oven.
- In extended operation the inverter regulates maximum output to 600 W, so very long heating tasks run below the headline 800 W.
- As a built-in appliance it needs a suitable cabinet niche of roughly 36.2-36.5 x 56-56.8 x 30 cm and proper installation.
