What we take away
The CAR14B is a no-frills raclette machine. A quarter wheel sits on a holder that swivels, a heating element in an angled housing aims the heat at the cut face of the cheese, and the head comes off for setup and cleaning. Casselin pitches it at restaurants, hotels, cheese bars, chalets, buffets and caterers: anyone who wants to scrape cheese in front of guests without giving up a metre of counter. At 24 cm wide and 2.5 kg, it slips between the charcuterie board and the stack of plates, and one waiter can move it with one hand.
On the numbers, 500 W is the power of a machine built for a quarter wheel, not for a 3 kg half wheel. Accept that up front: output follows the size of the cheese, and Casselin gives neither a number of covers nor a melting time. For a bar activation or a hotel buffet, that is enough; to send out forty plates in twenty minutes, you will need two of them, or a double half-wheel model.
The CAR14B replaces the CAR14, which Casselin has moved to its archives. A reseller sheet for the old model (Restaupro) listed 500 W, 242 x 285 x 333 mm and 2.7 kg: on paper the two generations are near twins, the new one slightly lighter. One last honest point: we did not find the CAR14B on Amazon, where the old CAR14 shows as unavailable on Amazon.fr; the button above simply runs a search. The safest route is the Casselin shop or a catering equipment dealer.

Things to consider

- No thermostat or dimmer mentioned
- Number of covers, warranty and country of manufacture not stated by Casselin
- No Amazon listing identified for the CAR14B
Who is it for?
For the cheese bar that wants a raclette activation without rearranging everything, the restaurant adding raclette to its winter menu, the hotel buffet or the caterer setting up a small hot station at an event.
Who should skip it? High-volume stalls, such as a Christmas market chalet on a Saturday night, will feel cramped with 500 W. And nothing from Casselin says it is designed for outdoor use: under a gazebo, keep it out of the rain and check your electrical setup.
Alternatives
- Casselin CAR12: the half-wheel big brother from the same brand, for serving more people.
- Boska Raclette Quattro Concrete: another quarter-wheel machine, 400 W according to Boska, with a heavier, more decorative concrete base, around €200 on the Boska shop.
- TTM DS 2000: a Swiss double half-wheel raclette machine at 1000 W, about €329 excl. VAT on the TTM shop, for a step up in output.
