E1 E2 Confusion?

[Actin11]

Hello everyone,

Quick Q about the E1 vs E2 products, would appreciate some clarification!

Do E1 and E2 products both use Zaitsev's rule to form the "most substituted" product?

I am a bit confused, because I think that they do with the exception if a tertiary halide is attacked by a large, bulky nucleophile yes? This would then form the least substituted, or anti-Hofmann product, yes?

Thanks, and happy studying to you all!
