Ovente Induction Hobs
"Produce! Produce!
Were it but the pitifullest infintesimal fraction
of a product, produce it in God's name!
'Tis the utmost thou hast in thee: out with it, then."
—Thomas Carlyle
General Ovente Information
Ovente has essentially nothing to say about themselves on their own web site. "Ovente" is a dba for something called "TopNet, Inc." in Los Angeles, and which was established in 1999; the Ovente brand name emerged in 2009. One suspects that many—possible most, possibly even all—of their products are simply "badged" items imported from overseas makes (yes, almost surely China). And that's as much as we know or can surmise.
Ovente Induction-Unit Data
As always in these listings, we give these standard general—
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 a day 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 till you have your actual unit to hand.
Our criterion for including units here--as opposed to in the "residential use" section--
is the maker's labelling of the product on its web site or in its advertising; but be aware
that makers use a lot of what lawyers call "commercial puffery", and the acid test is the
exact wording of the warranty. If any unit's warranty excludes service in commercial
settings, well, that speaks for itself. Regrettably, warranty forms are rarely available for
inspection on-line for commercial units, so yet again: Caveat
emptor!
