Excellent replacement choice

I replaced a 40 year old Magic Chef for this Empava with no regrets. Installation was easy as there are removable clips that gives you extra space in case the stove cutout does not exactly match. I had an electrian ensure wiring was correct for this stove. I did have to get new magnetic cookware.

Exceptional Empava 36" Induction Cooktop
on April 15, 2021
Posted by: John04
We purchased the Empava 36" Electric Induction cooktop for our new kitchen countertops. We purchased it online and had it delivered. We love many great features of the cooktop including: The very fast speeds to boil water, it's sleek level look (no knobs or raised parts), having 5 burners, including a very useful timer, the keep warm setting, the H light for when the burner is still hot and the Lock button for when the cooktop is not in use. We would, without hesitation, purchase this cooktop again and would (and have) highly recommend it to friends and family.

Impava36 inch induction cooktop
on April 5, 2021
Posted by: M. H.
I purchased this product after reading rave reviews. I had to order it because it wasn't available in my store. The product arrived in great shape and on time. However, be aware the EMPV-36 version is 50 Amps which means you may need new wiring which can be expensive. I believe the EMP-36 is 40 AMPs so be sure which amperage you need to save yourself some time!

Great value

Great value! I’ll update this review if something changes, but so far it’s great. The only complaint we might have is the buzzing sound is louder than the higher end induction cooktops (thus only four stars). If you haven’t used an induction top before it will certainly take some getting used to. If you take a pot off a burner while the burner is on it will error after only a few seconds and you’ll have to turn the whole cooktop off and back on to reset it, but you learn to turn the burner off first. Things cook fast, and on a lower setting than conventional tops. There is a timer for each burner which is really nice once you get to know how long something takes, but the tone for when they turn off is quiet. So far, no regrets.

Great quality for the price

Beautiful cook top.. Love that there are NO knobs to clean under! The only downsides for me are the seals along the edges are a little thicker than my past two stove tops leaving a gap between the stove and countertop instead of a seamless look so there is a gap now for crumbs to fall into. Also according to the instructions I’ve read it looks like you can’t run more than one burner on the high power mode at a time that are zoned together but everything does get much hotter faster than I’m used to with electric so maybe that will be a non issue. Overall though so far I’m very happy with the purchase especially for the price.

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...

Replaced an old GE electric cooktop and was a much better fit than expected
on July 27, 2020
Posted by: Ironchefkz
So upon reading reviews I was expecting more issues installing this. I replaced an existing 1960's electric cooktop that was falling apart. The shape and size was odd enough that GE sells a specialized steel adapter for their modern cooktop to replace these old units. Turns out this unit is almost a perfect fit. I had to install some 1/2" boards on the left and right, and some 1/4" boards along the front and back to give the cooktop something to rest on and it covers the hole completely.The cabling is heavy gauge stranded so it's very flexible. Silicon or rubber insulated and the cable is steel wrapped. The whole unit is of quite good quality build wise.This is an induction stove. If your not familiar with the technology you can't use aluminum pans here. Stainless steel pans or cast iron only. If a magnet doesn't stick to your favorite pan you'll want to consider a different cook-top. Or do like I did and take this as an opportunity to buy new pans. For the price difference from this to a Whirlpool or Frigidare induction unit you'll be able to afford a whole new cook set twice over.Check your breaker box in the basement and make sure you have a 40 amp breaker for the cook-top. If not take the needed action to upgrade this. The listing for the cook-top clearly states you need this. As does the instruction manual and the box in very clear print.Once installed the unit's proven great for me! Super easy to clean compared to my old cook-top (pictured). Just keep in mind unlike electric or gas the cook-top has a sensor that knows if the pan has been lifted from the cook-top and shuts down the unit with an error code. So no picking up the pan to swirl around oil or butter. Buy a silicon brush to aid you here.There will be some necessary changes to your cooking style. However I've found the new cook-top rewarding. When you hear claims of how quickly induction works I can state these are true. Made spaghetti the first night this was in. The pot of water boiled in about 2 minutes. The next morning I had a hot skillet ready for eggs in 10 seconds on setting 2. The "lock" keeps you from accidentally turning on the unit or little hands from playing with it.So far I'm loving it and can recommend it. The cost difference not only allows you to buy pans if you need them, but also to hire an electrician if you need an electrical upgrade. To be clear you'd need the same for the Frigidare or Whirlpool units.Now there is a sound associated with induction cook-tops. It's a high pitched warble with a fan noise. It's not unique to this unit. It does let you know it's running. This might bother some people but I appreciate it. The old resistive cook-top made no noise except the occasional click of a relay and had a "safety light" to tell you the unit was hot... somewhere. With this new unit each individual cooktop spot is tracked for being hot even after you power it off.
