In short: VonShef is the kitchen utensil and appliance brand of the British group Domu Brands, based in Manchester and best known for its sister brand VonHaus. At Raclette Club, you will find the VonShef brand with a 3-in-1 raclette grill with interchangeable plates: stone, grill and mini-crepes.

The brand in a few lines
VonShef does not publish a detailed history. According to the VonHaus website, its sister brand, the group is called DOMU Brands Ltd and is headquartered in Manchester. VonHaus is presented there as the flagship brand, created in 2009 within Domu Brands, and VonShef as the sister brand that helps home cooks with kitchen utensils and appliances. Since 2020, according to a VonHaus announcement, VonShef products have been sold on the vonhaus.com website.
Two details stand out: the group states that, since 2021, it has been majority-owned by its employees through a trust, and it advertises on its website a free 2-year warranty on every product. The VonHaus website talks about products “designed in Manchester”; the place of manufacture of its raclette grills is not stated.

What we think
On paper, VonShef plays the Swiss Army knife card: a stone to sear meat, a grill, a mini-crepe plate, eight raclette pans and eight wooden spatulas in the same box. The official videos also show a whole little family of raclette grills, half-stone, all-stone, with fondue: the brand clearly likes this aisle. The 2-year warranty advertised by the group is a real plus, to be checked for a purchase on Amazon.fr.
The limit is clarity. Several VonShef versions with similar names are out there, some with only two plates, and the 3-in-1 listing stays vague about the power, the exact number of guests and care. This is the kind of appliance you buy after reading the listing title twice, on an empty stomach, before the party and not during it.
Which model should you choose?

- For little dessert crepes: our mini-crepes on the raclette grill.
- For a sweet-and-savory version: our raclette crepe is made on the same type of plate.
