General Diva de Provence Information

Important notes on these data:
We have spent a lot of time hunting these data--often in several places for each individual unit--but we cannot and do not guarantee any datum to be correct
(indeed, we often found conflicting data at different sources). Caveat emptor! For those units we offer for sale, the prices shown are never over an hour old. For other items, the prices shown are the lowest we found with moderate but not fanatic
searching; moreover, they are not updated very often and are only intended as a rough guide to comparative unit values in cost/power terms. Most "Features" are not terribly important, and are nearly standard among roughly similar units, regardless of brand name. If some "feature"--shown or omitted--is especially
important to you, check on it, because we did not take great pains over the "Features" data. Dimensions given here are, as the makers themselves warn, only to be used as guidelines in planning--never do anything (such as cutting a countertop) till you have your
actual unit to hand. A very important unit datum is the "MaxPower" value. Many units show individual-element powers that add up to impressive totals that the unit cannot really supply.
That is not a defect or some form of cheating: it is "power sharing", a clever and
useful feature; but, unless the maker is unusually open about data, one can easily be misled into believeing that the unit as a whole is more powerful than it is. Your dollars are buying
cooking power, and you need to be well aware of just what you are paying for in actual cost/power terms for the unit as a whole. Similar to power sharing (though less flexible) is the "power boost" feature many
units have on some or all of their elements. (That feature allows a "boosted" element to temporarily, for some short period--rarely specified, but typically 10 minutes or so--run at some
set level well over its nominal power, to help with tasks like getting large pots of water to boiling.) As with true power sharing, if one is not careful, one can get an incorrect
impression of the true total power capability of the unit as a whole, which, as we just said, is basically what your dollars are buying.

Diva de Provence Induction-Unit Data
Diva de Provence induction units use components from at least three sources: Fagor (who supply many companies), Jaeger Controls (who supply at least Wolf), and Menu System
(we don't know who else they might supply); whether they are standard (meaning as used in other induction lines) or made to Diva's own specifications, we do not know.
Diva has two induction lines: a "residential" line with four units, and a "commercial" line with three. The residential units are all build-in modules, while the commercial units are a
single element that can be had as a build-in or as a freestanding countertop item and a dual build-in countertop unit. Diva is expected to add to its commercial line an induction wok and an induction griddle.
In its residential line, Diva has sought to cover all the bases: a "domino" unit, the now-standard 4-element 30-inch unit and 5-element 36-inch unit, and a unique 24-inch, three-element
unit; units like that last are common in Europe, where kitchen space is typically at a premium even in upscale residences, but not in North America (not yet, anyway); Diva targets the unit, we believe, at condo owners, who also often have to fight counter-space problems when re-doing a kitchen. The unit offers a large, high-power element plus two serviceable others; it can be the answer for anyone with counter-space issues.
The larger units in Diva's residential line, the 30- and 36-inch ones, can also be had in white; few other makers offer anything but the near-universal "basic black".
Final note: for commercial uses, Diva also offers custom "suites" of induction equipment--you'd have to ask them for details.
We found, not counting color variants, six Diva de Provence induction-cooking induction-cooking models:
