The ovens are NOT as good as they should be, under-powered and difficult to control meaning that overall they are inflexible and not easy to use. Being just 13 amp stoves they just don't have the oomph. The top oven, the best oven, Everhot states can reach 250c but seems to struggle to generate enough heat to roast potatoes in a reasonable time. At Christmas my parboiled potatoes took ages to obtain crunch, cooking in goose fat. I had to take them out of the oven and stick them on the hot plate at 350c. My old gas Rayburn was far better in this respect. The heat was there because it was real heat form a flame. I believe the bottom oven states a maximum of 200c but it seems not hot enough, it is a 'slow' heat and sometimes you need a crisping, roasting heat. The hotplate is hot enough and with the simmer plate at the same temp, you have just enough boiling/frying area. The ovens are both large and if I could beef up both to the same temperature, a 'real' 250 or 300 then it would be a good stove.
An induction hob upgrade is supposedly available for my oven and I intend to go for it. It may make the experience more flexible.
Finally, the controls, they are awful. push button, wait 5 seconds before anything happens. Then multiple presses to achieve the temperature you require, press and hold again for 5-10 seconds before it sets to the temperature you require. The controls are counter-intuitive and if you press a button too long it jumps into timer mode! Rubbish and cheap and awful. I design interfaces. If anyone from Everhot wants me to design them a set of flexible and easy to use controls they only need to contact me here. You jumped on the push-button bandwagon but you did it wrong. If you have a quality product, the controls need to 'feel' quality too. They are the human interaction and a relationship with the Everhot stove is a continually painful one.
The build quality is good and solid but there are design flaws, The lid spring is insufficiently strong and replacing it requires the whole oven to be moved, an expensive job from professionals just to undo a single hex screw that cannot be undone otherwise.
I have had better ovens. My old Esse had faults, the low quality switchgear but the power of the 30amp stove cannot be denied. It could crank out the heat. My old Rayburn had smaller ovens and you had to close the doors quickly to keep the heat in, but once done, it was a veritable furnace.The controls on each were much more satisfying and so easy to use in comparison.
Would I buy another in my new house? No. Sadly.
I'd have a look at the new Esse electric range or an Aga.
I almost like the Everhot but cooking with it will always be frustrating due to those controls and the lack of real heat oomph. "You need to heat it up" they will say and I know that well having suffered at Christmas. What I would say back is that the oven itself needs to man up and do the job for itself. Get hot you great lump!
