NEFF N70 Fully Integrated Dishwasher 60cm with Zeolith Drying and Home Connect
NEFF's A-rated N 70 flagship integrated dishwasher dries with Zeolith minerals, washes 14 settings at 44 dB and opens with a nudge of the door.
The S197YCX05G is a fully integrated 60 cm dishwasher at the top of NEFF's N 70 range, washing 14 place settings with an A energy rating, the best on the current EU scale. It suits households that run the machine constantly and want the running costs, drying results and quietness to match.
Zeolith drying is the headline. Natural minerals absorb moisture and release heat, so even plastics emerge dry, and Open Dry finishes the job. At a stated 54 kWh per 100 Eco cycles, it pairs that drying performance with genuinely low energy use.
Ideal For
Running daily, the A rating and 54 kWh per 100 Eco cycles keep costs down where a lesser machine's consumption would quietly accumulate across the year.
Lunchboxes and containers defeat ordinary drying. Zeolith mineral drying with Open Dry gets plastics properly dry, so unloading does not end at the tea towel.
Door Open Assist, a Vario Hinge and Emotion Light Pro gap illumination let it disappear into a handleless furniture run and still communicate elegantly.
Key Features
Top of the current EU scale, with a stated 54 kWh per 100 Eco cycles, it is the efficient choice for households that wash daily.
Natural zeolite minerals absorb moisture and release warmth, combining with Open Dry and a heat exchanger to dry even plastics.
Flex 3 baskets with Rack Matic three-level adjustment and a Flex cutlery drawer organise the largest family loads.
Class B noise performance keeps a nightly cycle unobtrusive in open-plan kitchens and evening households.
Seven programmes include an Intelligent cycle alongside Eco, Auto 45-65°C, Chef 70°C, Glass 40°C and Quick options.
A nudge opens the handleless integrated front, with the Vario Hinge easing installation in demanding cabinetry.
Drying is where flagships prove themselves
Any dishwasher washes; drying is where ranges separate. The S197YCX05G uses Zeolith: a natural mineral that absorbs moisture and gives back heat, working alongside Open Dry and a heat exchanger. The practical difference shows in the plastic drawer of every family kitchen, where containers and lids that normally come out beaded with water emerge ready to put away. No tea towel, no draining rack of shame on the worktop the next morning.
Efficiency that compounds every single day
An A rating on the current EU scale is still rare among dishwashers, and this machine pairs it with a stated 54 kWh per 100 Eco cycles and 9.5 litres of water per wash. For a household running a cycle most days, that efficiency compounds quietly across the year. The Intelligent programme and Auto 45-65°C adjust the wash to the load, so short of the Chef 70°C blast for burnt-on trays, the machine spends only what the dishes demand.
A flagship that fits and behaves beautifully
Fourteen place settings load through Flex 3 baskets with Rack Matic three-level height adjustment and a Flex cutlery drawer, so the capacity is genuinely usable. At 44 dB with class B noise performance it keeps evening cycles discreet, while Emotion Light Pro illuminates the door gap to show progress from across the room. Door Open Assist opens the handleless front with a nudge, the Vario Hinge solves awkward furniture-door geometry, Home Connect puts control on your phone, and AquaStop protects the kitchen. It fits a standard 60 cm housing at 81.5 x 59.8 x 55 cm.

| Big family loads | Flex 3 baskets | Three-level Rack Matic adjustment and a cutlery drawer organise fourteen settings sensibly. |
| Open-plan kitchen noise | 44 dB operation | A nightly cycle stays in the background of conversation and television. |

| Handleless kitchens | Door Open Assist | The integrated front opens with a nudge, preserving an unbroken furniture run. |
