What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise the cooktop for rapid heating, sleek design, and effortless cleaning. Many highlight instant heat control and energy efficiency as standout strengths. However, some report frustration with cookware compatibility, requiring magnetic silver-bottomed bases and forcing replacements. Several note uneven cooking, with center zones heating intensely while edges remain lukewarm. A few experienced durability issues including burners stopping after two years or cracked surfaces. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider it a worthwhile purchase for its performance and modern aesthetic.

Great Cooktop!

Would Recommend

We’ve had an Empava range for 5 years and like it so we decided to get the save brand of stove top. So far I love it. I like that there are no knobs. The control lock is handy, the rapid boil is very fast. We have purchased a second unit for our camper remodel.

Never heard of Empava, but we love it!

I purchased this to replace a 5 year old whirlpool gold series that magically went kaput. My wife wanted induction but OMG the price! i stumbled on empava and at such a great price point, i figured it was worth the risk. What I love: I can fit any size pot on this stove. my other stove required all kinds of arrangements to get the pots i wanted in place. the touch controls: my previous cooktop had knobs and broke and got food in the components. i now have a flat surface that cleans eas...

everyone is envious ;-)

So, I hit a snug. I ordered a fantastic oven, but didn't realize how it will fit in my newly renovated galley kitchen. Than I had a new countertop installed. Than I realized that there simply isn't enough space between the top of the new stove and the bottom of the countertop to fit my existing cook-top. oh no!!! So I turned to the internet to search for a cook-top that will fit in about 3-inches from top of the countertop - and that is how I found the Empava Induction Cook-top. I read on...

The best!

This burner is the best replacement for my old cooktop. It's simple, reliable and easy to use. It also has a new function which I don't have with my old burner. The best!

Love my new Cooktop

Would Recommend

We bought our induction cooktop without realizing that induction cooking meant that we had to get a new type of pans. We found a great deal at Kohl's for correct type of pans and we love cooking with our cooktop. Boils water in minutes. We have found we have to cook on lower heat temperatures for some things. We love how it cooks more consistently and evenly than other cooktops.

Good product

This cooktop fit me, Eazy to install, touch controls are simple to use and the heat control is far better than my old cooktop.

Amazing Cooktop!

Would Recommend

We had a flat cooktop for the past 12 years when it suddenly quit working. The old cooktop was no longer serviceable and we wanted to buy a replacement for it. We found this cooktop on-line at Lowe's. It had the simplest design. My 88 year old mother lives with us and has learned to use this. Now here is the amazing part, we thought this would cook like our old cooktop, but instead we had the new experience of an induction cooktop! Wow! Food cooks so quickly and heat is distributed evenly...

Empava Induction cooktop

Would Recommend

I ordered online and received it quickly. It was easy for my husband to install and was cooking in no time. I love the powerbost feature and easiness which to use the induction cooktop. The only concern I have is that the edges around the cooktop could be damaged if something is dropped on them. I would highly recommend the Empava cooktop

Works well, nice design

Would Recommend

Nicely designed, works well. It's sitting on our counter vs inserted into countertop, but still leveled and stable. Turning on requires 2-step buttons

Great product for the money

Would Recommend

This cooktop has changed our lives! It heats evenly and quickly. We did have to get used to it and burned food the first couple of times using it. It is nice though, now we are used to it, our food doesn't stick in the pans. My husband was able to install it with little difficulty (we had to cut our hole a little bigger). The digital, touch controls are easy to use. I love the lock feature. We have 5 grandchildren and they can't use the stove or accidentally turn the eye up when it's in us...

Good product!

A good product to use. Easy to install only thing is you have to buy specific types of cookware.

three tries, three misses

Would Not Recommend

The first one, the control's display digits did not work and LEDs flickered. The bottom was cracked. Returned and ordered replacement. The second one worked but had a large crack in the bottom. Returned and ordered again. The third was shipped to store. Opened and inspected at the store. The bottom was cracked. Returned and did not order again. Three strikes and out!
