If you're considering investing in a high-temperature countertop pizza oven, the Effeuno Evolution Line P134H 509E and the Effeuno PRO P134H 509 PRO are two of the best in the range. Both are 100% made in Italy, built to very high standards, and capable of reaching up to 509 °C (948 °F). But they do have key differences in features, performance, and use-case. Here’s a head-to-head comparison, plus a video walk-through to help you choose.
| Spec | Evolution P134H 509E | PRO P134H 509 PRO |
|---|---|---|
| Relative Cost | Premium model (higher-priced tier) | More affordable option |
| Max Temperature | 509 °C / 948 °F | 509 °C / 948 °F |
| Power / Wattage | 3.0 kW total (Upper 2100W / Lower 900W) | 3.0 kW total (Upper 2100W / Lower 900W) |
| Inner Chamber Dimensions | 35 × 40 × 10 cm | 35 × 40 × 9 cm |
| External Dimensions | ~54 × 59 × 27 cm; ~25 kg | ~53 × 60 × 29.5 cm; ~22 kg |
| Stone / Baking Base | Biscotto clay stone included | Biscotto clay stone included |
| Special Modes / Controls | • Advanced PID control via touchscreen • Multiple bake modes (ECO, BALANCE, BOOST, Preheat) • Triple-glazed door • Enhanced insulation & forced ventilation • High-accuracy thermocouple | • Digital touchscreen display • Boost Function (60-second surge) • Strong insulation & thermostats |
| Time to Cook a Pizza | ~60 seconds at full heat | ~90 seconds at full heat |
What Those Differences Mean in Practice
-
Speed & Baking Control: The Evolution is faster (≈60s) due to more advanced electronics (PID, multiple modes) and better control of heating phases. If you bake often, especially big batches or high throughput, the Evolution will let you dial in results more precisely.
-
Versatility: Because of its modes, better control, and slightly larger chamber height (10 cm vs 9 cm), Evolution gives you a little more margin for different crust styles, thicknesses, or topping loads.
-
Cost vs Value: PRO gives very strong performance, and is more affordable. If you’re using the oven at home, occasionally, or only for smaller output, PRO likely offers enough. But if you’re more serious – either semi-pro or want perfect consistency – Evolution is more future-proof.
-
Space & Weight: Not a huge difference but Evolution is a bit heavier and slightly bigger. If your kitchen/benchtop space is tight, that could play a part.
Who Should Pick Which
-
Go for the Evolution if:
-
You bake frequently (daily or many pizzas per session)
-
You want precision and consistency (serious home user, pros, events)
-
You care about safety, lower exterior heat, and finer control
-
Budget is less of a constraint
-
-
Go for the PRO if:
-
You want high-end quality without spending top tier cash
-
You bake occasionally to moderately
-
You’re okay with a slightly slower bake to save costs
-
Good stone, good heat, but simpler usage is fine
-
