NEFF N70 Built-In Microwave Oven with Grill, 60 x 45 cm
A 36-litre compact built-in microwave with full and half-width grills, delivering 1000 W through a Full Touch TFT display in NEFF's 60 x 45 cm N70 format.
The N70 Built-In Microwave Oven with Grill is the largest and most powerful microwave in this range, built to the 60 x 45 cm compact format that pairs directly with a NEFF single oven in a tall housing. It suits kitchens that want a serious second cooking position without the footprint of a second full oven.
A 36-litre cavity and 1000 W of inverter-managed power set it apart, and the grill comes in two forms: full width for family-size dishes, half width when only part of the load needs colour. Ten automatic programmes and the 3.7-inch Full Touch TFT display manage it all.
Ideal For
Built to the 60 x 45 cm compact format, it sits above or below a NEFF single oven in a tall housing, completing a matched graphite-grey cooking bank.
The 36-litre cavity with a 43 cm wide interior takes larger dishes than standard built-in microwaves, so lasagnes and family gratins fit without decanting.
Full and half-width grill options mean you can brown an entire dish or just crisp one portion, with ten automatic programmes covering the rest.
Key Features
The highest output in NEFF's built-in microwave line, with five levels from 90 W to boost and inverter technology for even heating.
A 24.2 x 43 x 34.5 cm interior gives real room for large dishes, comfortably beyond the 20-21 litres of standard built-in models.
Full-width grilling browns whole dishes; half-width focuses heat on smaller portions, with a plug-in grid included.
Automatic meal settings preselect power and time across a wide variety of dishes, from defrosting through to grilled finishes.
Full Touch visual navigation matches NEFF's oven interfaces, keeping two cooking methods and ten programmes easy to command.
A proper oven-style handle door suits the compact-oven format and feels consistent with the NEFF oven installed alongside.
The compact format that completes the stack
NEFF's 60 x 45 cm compact format exists so a second appliance can share a tall housing with a single oven, and the C24GR3XG1B is the microwave expression of it. At 45.5 x 59.6 x 56.4 cm, it fills a 45 cm niche exactly, its graphite-grey fascia and handle door mirroring the oven beneath. The payoff is a cooking wall: oven for the main event, and above it a 36-litre, 1000 W microwave and grill for everything that needs doing at the same time.
Grilling with a sense of proportion
Two grill widths sound like a small detail until you use them. Full width covers an entire gratin dish edge to edge, browning evenly across the 43 cm wide cavity. Half width concentrates on a smaller area, sensible when one portion needs crisping and running the whole element would be wasteful. Combined with the microwave's five power levels and two heating and combination modes, dishes can be heated through and finished with colour in one appliance, using the included plug-in grid.
Power that asks for proper installation
With a 3010 W connection rating, this is a hardwired appliance: it uses a fixed electrical connection installed by a qualified electrician rather than a plug, the same arrangement as a built-in oven. That reflects what it is, a 1000 W microwave and grill built to oven standards, 25.6 kg of it. Inverter technology manages the microwave side for gradual, even results, regulating output to 600 W in extended operation. The hydrolytic Easy Clean system keeps the large cavity manageable, loosening residue in a couple of minutes.
How It Compares
| Kitchen Need | NEFF Technology | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Family-size dishes | 36 L cavity | A 43 cm wide interior takes full casserole and gratin dishes that defeat standard 20-litre microwaves |
| Fast, even heating | 1000 W inverter power | The highest output in the range, delivered gradually so large portions heat through evenly |
| Whole-dish browning | Full-width grill | Edge-to-edge grilling colours an entire dish evenly without turning or repositioning halfway |
| Single portions | Half-width grill | Focused grilling crisps one serving efficiently instead of heating the whole cavity |
| Matched oven banks | 60 x 45 cm compact format | Shares a tall housing with a NEFF single oven for a coordinated eye-level cooking wall |
| Everyday simplicity | 10 automatic programmes | Preselected settings run a wide variety of dishes from a touchscreen tap |

The Verdict
Strengths
- 1000 W microwave power, the range's highest
- Large 36-litre cavity with 43 cm wide interior
- Full and half-width grill options
- Ten automatic programmes with preset values
- 3.7-inch Full Touch TFT touchscreen
- Compact 60 x 45 cm oven-matching format
- Hydrolytic Easy Clean cavity system
Considerations
- It requires a fixed electrical connection installed by a qualified electrician; there is no plug, so budget for professional installation.
- The 45 cm compact format needs a 45.0 x 56.0 x 55.0 cm niche and 55 cm of depth, deeper than standard microwave housings.
- In extended operation the inverter regulates maximum microwave output to 600 W, and there is no convection baking function.
