Electrolux was founded in Sweden in 1919 by the merger of two companies, Elektromekaniska and Lux, and invented the first household vacuum cleaner and household refrigerator in history. In 2018, it ranked 162nd in the world's top 500 companies, accounting for 25% of the global home appliance market. According to Ranker statistics, Electrolux ovens are the fourth most popular, behind Bosch, Miele and General Electric.
Abroad, especially in North America, there is less of a single electric oven design, and more Ranges integrated design combining oven oven and gas stove is adopted. The Chinese market has not introduced similar products, and more is biased towards integrated stoves with range hoods, because Chinese cooking is more fried than roasted, and combined range hoods are far more popular than combined ovens. Electrolux's Ranges products are well-designed and are a popular mass brand in foreign markets.
Electrolux ovens have only three products on the e-commerce platform, namely the basic EOB2200BOX, the upgraded EOB3400BOX, and the high-end EOB5410BOX. Among them, the basic model is mechanically controlled, and the latter two are electronically controlled. The high-end model has an additional timer, which can be programmed to preset the temperature and time control program. The prices of the three models are 6580 yuan, 7580 yuan, and 8580 yuan respectively.
The basic model is designed to be made of stainless steel and has a capacity of 68 liters. The choice of liner is often the focus of the oven, and the common oven liner materials are enamel liner and stainless steel liner. For ordinary ovens, the enamel liner has a smooth surface, high temperature resistance and strong hardness, but it is not resistant to high temperature steam erosion. For general electric steamers or steaming and baking products, it is recommended to choose a rust-proof and durable stainless steel liner, but it is easy to clean without an enamel liner. The Electrolux liner is made with an enamel coating on a scratch-resistant and anti-corrosion steel plate, which is resistant to high temperatures and does not stick to oil, making it the most ideal liner.
EOB5410BOX is more intelligent, and the machine is imported from Germany. Sufficient 71L interior space keeps food at a reasonable distance from the heating tube to avoid burning food from close heat radiation. At the same time, each baking tray is enough to hold 12 doughnuts, 10 sweet potatoes or a lamb shank. Temperature fluctuations have always been taboo in oven cooking, and the temperature fluctuation of this oven is only 0.5 °C, which is far lower than the 3 °C temperature difference of domestic brands such as Boss and Haishi. The door glass is made of three-layer insulating glass, and the combination of tempered glass and low-emissivity insulating glass ensures low temperature outside the door and avoids burns.
Electrolux has also launched a tabletop oven. Compared with tabletop ovens, built-in ovens are larger in size, generally more than 50L, which can be suitable for the preparation of more food, and the internal temperature of large-capacity ovens is more constant and uniform. Built-in ovens need to be selected before renovation, and even cabinets need to be redecorated when the oven is replaced. In addition, tabletop ovens usually dissipate heat from the sides and back, while built-in ovens are designed to dissipate heat forward to protect the cabinets. In short, it is recommended to choose a built-in oven for unrenovated households, while consumers who have renovated or have a budget can choose a tabletop oven with a larger capacity.
