I have had my Everdure Fusion for about 18 months and love it. But recently it has started tripping the power in the house every time I try to use the electric igniter.

A promising prototype
This WAS the best BBQ I ever had for the first 8-10 uses but now it has started tripping the fuse board and doesn’t ignite coals. From all the reviews it sounds like I’m not alone...

Really Pleased until 11 months old
We were really pleased with our purchase until it was 11months old when using element started to trip out the circuit breaker each time we used it. Now we have to use fire lighters to get the charcoal going, food still great flavour and no problems with rotisserie.

Keeps tripping the electric board
A $1000 Product won't even last for 2minutes because it keeps TRIPPING OUR ELECTRIC BOARD. We've also done all the troubleshoot. I'm also aware that it may detect moisture hence the reason of tripping but we've literally tried everything we can do. Very disappointed

excellent unit need to get it going again
My wife bought me the fusion for Christmas 2017 and I have used it about 20 times the rotisserie is great and the taste is fantastic however the last times I have used it the element has tripped the safety switch on the power circuit and now I am unable get it going at all. I had hoped it would work a little longer and I am wondering if this is a common problem and how i would get it fixed.BTW it has never been exposed to moisture and cleaned after every use.

Best BBQ I’ve owned hands down.
Everdure Fusion review.
I watched the Everdure Heston product line from the first day it was realeased as I was interested in a coal bbq solution that had an ignition start. 2 years on I finally bought the Everdure by Heston Blumenthal FUSION. Would have bought the HUB but it didn’t fit on our deck. We used the spit mode for it’s maiden voyage and my expectations were reasonably high. We were blown away by the result. Not only did the Heston lump charcoal (use it videos out there don’t and that’s why they don’t light as swiftly) light in perfe...Read more
ct yin the 9 mins the element was on for the flavour was outstanding. I though I had a problem with the lid but it was a false alarm. I sent an email in a Sunday when we set it up and the product staff responded that same night. The emails I received from the product team is the best brand experience I’ve been exposed too. Since then we’ve grilled steaks, burgers, sausages you name it. All tasting sensational. One of the reasons I’m reviewing this product is I’m confused by other people’s negative experiences. My only regret is not buying the FUSION the day it was released.Purchased in January 2021 for $749.00.

Piece of Garbage and no care factor or resolution
I bought one of these and the first time I used it the food kept falling in the pit. When I rang Everdure, Shriro or whatever other name they go by they reluctantly offered to fix it. It had also tripped the electrical safety switch in my house. [name removed] at Dandenong was great and assured me it was fixed. Well it wasn't. Last time I cooked on it, after Everdure assured me it was fixed, my food fell into the pit and cause a grease fire. They had also basically admitted as per other reviews that the wiring was an issue as this had to be...Read more
replaced Any follow up to ask for the rod or posts to be repaired have been met with the only offer being to pay!!!! for it to be serviced again. I am alarmed at the fact that the company refused to help when the BBQ obviously was designed so badly and if left unattended could cause fatal injury. I guess you can always say don't leave it unattended for the three hours it takes to cook. Stay away. You will firstly get a garbage product and secondly even worse after sales help. They can stick their BBQ.2 comments

cooks great but lacks quality
Hi was given the Evedure for a 50th birthday present, and love the look and the way it cooks. I am however disappointed with the quality . I have now used the bbq twice, first was a boned leg of lamb and second roast chicken.
The issues are similar to other peoples post, There is a black enamel insert that holds the coals, this is already showing corrosion an flaking. There is a small locating groove near the skewer handle that in design is a weak point, this has allowed the skewer rod to bend quite easily without misuse or overweighti...Read more

Safety issue - keeps breaking electrical circuit
We bought this BBQ last year and have some of the best roasts we’ve ever had. On a few occasions however it trips our electrical circuit board and we thought it was other items but it kept happening.
We haven’t used it for a while so we took it to a friends house to cook a lamb and it did exactly the same thing!!!!
We bought a cover for the BBQ and it has always been cared for well and kept out of the weather.
We are extremely disappointed as when I asked the question of Bart (top Chef) he assured me the electrical system is safe.
I can’t use the BBQ and am very disappointed this has presented itself as a real safety issue.

Love it but trips my electronics!
Have had it two weeks. Love it in every way except it trips my electronics - every time! what a shame. How do i get in contact with the warranty people?
Otherwise, very silent motor. nice quality feel to the rack. Ease of use is fab, the charcoal is no big deal with the electric starter.
But every time it trips my electronics it trips my modem and the kids movie stops and they shout at me!

Expensive but stylish
I spent a lot of time looking at the Heston range of barbecues trying to justify the price. It looks amazing and has invited comments from many visitors. However I feel you are paying more for the name and could easily spend less to get a comparable barbecue......to sum up...I love it BUT is it worth the money - not sure....will update once I've had it longer!

Just don’t do it
I was keen to get a charcoal BBQ, the electric start and built in rotisserie, along with the small foot print, had me sold. The electric start isn’t worth the premium, yes it lights the coal in 7 mins, but you can’t start cooking anything for 30 mins so what’s the point, it’s probabl not that hard to light coal the usual way. The rotisserie has a weight limit before it struggles to turn, but the bigger issue is the flare ups, you need a drip tray which blocks direct heat onto the meat. Drip tray has to be moved when you want to add more coal, w...Read more
hich you have to do because the tray is shallow and doesn’t hold enough to cook a full roast, maybe a just a chicken. The coal tray design is a flawed design as well, there’s no air flow to fuel the fire. Cleaning is a hassle, you need to clean it after every use, coal ashes fall onto the heating element and any fat gets baked onto anything it drips on. In summary not worth the money, I can’t sell it without taking a huge loss. A true example of a brand leveraging a chefs reputation to sell a very poor product.1 comment

Hi Jonathan,

flare ups and cleaning relate to all types of charcoal BBQs, and will directly depend on the fat content of the food being cooked. If the charcoal is positioned directly underneath the meat, it will absorb any fat drippings and infuse the food with smoke, preventing any fat from baking onto the tray.Similar opinion?

Great design but has design faults
After three uses the orange enamel on the charcoal holder chipped off,exposing the black base metal. A replacement charcoal holder has started to do the same after one use. Further the rotisserie rod handle thread has stripped after 2 uses and tends to slip out of the rotisserie posts.
I expected more from a $1000 BBQ. Most disappointing.

Works as sold but not a very functional grill
I was very excited to buy this BBQ grill. It's unique and beautifully designed. Certainly has the wow factor especially with the quick lighting of the coal and the hidden rotisserie functionality. I showed it off to everyone. But the novelty didn't last very long for me. Here's why:
- The main dish where the coal stays is not deep enough and the grill above is stationary. The distance between coal and food is not adjustable and frankly too close. To avoid this issue you have to place coals in patterns to have hot spots and warm sports. This me...Read more

Good Fun BUT has issues
I purchased the FUSION model as well as a Heston Gas BBQ. After 6 months there is a lot of rust on the plate that sits on the element as well as the charcoal holder tray and the element now trips my circuit breaker every time I try to ignite it. The rotisserie poles are not aligned properly as one has the slot not aligned with the other slot - which is a pain. It has been kept undercover and in a Heston Cover also and cleaned after every use. Seems like poor quality and disappointed. Side Note - Also an issue with the gas BBQ temperature gauge which seems to show temperatures that are way over what they really are.

A Fantastic Patio Addition
I purchased the machine 4 months ago and have used it extensively - twice a week at least. From the first use, it has performed as advertised.
CLEANING
Cleanup was quite simple although I used a little cordless vac to remove all the ash from the nooks. Due to the enamel, it cleans quite easily. Note: I have a chip (1 centimetre) of approximately two enamel layers around a screw hole which I'm told is rare and the company is happy to action the matter should it get worse.

I was looking at purchasing this bbq however the reviews are not favourable. Have modifications been made to overcome the common shortcomings?

Hello flick!
The fusion is a great bbq and cooks beautifully... but the downside is it uses 7 amps-according to our electrician and as a result constantly causes our power board to trip.. turning off almost everything in my home.!. so as long as you have, or get an electrician to accommodate that, no problem
Thanks Marcelle. I'm wondering if they have made any modifications though as this seems to be a common complaint- but also about other shortcomings as well..

Hi there, thanks for your enquiry, the Fusion is designed to operate on a 10 amp circuit we would be happy to answer any technical questions that you might have, just give our tech team a call on 1300 739 we can also assist with cooking suggestions as well. Thanks the team at Everdure by Heston Blumenthal
It keeps tripping our board everytime we turn it on for around 2 minutes. We've also tried every trouble shoot that your website has provided. Just wondering if you have any solution or best send some kind of adapter to void the safety tripping.
