I like this little 24" oven. Had to re-wire most of the galley kitchen, tho', because I've only ever had gas. But the oven is attractive and efficient. Haven't tried the broiler function yet because the drip pan didn't arrive with the oven; we're trying to rectify that. My only big complaint is that it, apparently, only comes with one rack. With a tiny oven (tho' pretty big on the inside, interestingly) like this one, TWO racks are absolutely critical if you are going to get dinner done on time.
Price of the oven is relatively inexpensive, and it has all functions a wall oven supposed to has. Installation was fairly easy, didn't take us a long time to have everything installed. I had to call Empava customer service one time about the wiring issue when we install it, they are very warmhearted and helpful.
Confusing electrical. No manual for my specific model.

One star removed for the poor instructions. The smart SAFE thing to do is hire an electrician to install. WE ARE NOT ELECTRICIANS but if anyone is curious this is our current hook-up: stranded 10 gauge wire (10/2 which is the black, white and copper) to the electrical box (30 amp breaker, serious business - playing around with this without previous knowledge could get you electrocuted). Note: They tell you to use only 8 gauge solid copper wire. We used the oven hookup wire they provided, (a small looking 110v cord of red, black and green not sure what gauge) installed on the oven as they instructed, and hardwired it to the previously mentioned 10 gauge wires which we housed in a blank electrical box. Seems to be powering it just fine. The oven is small and nice looking, a bit confusing to operate at first but I am overall I am happy with it so far. Side note: It took about 17 minutes to preheat up to 350° with a room temperature of about 70°.
Update: just tried out the "rotisserie" feature. NEAT :) never thought that would be included in a so called "budget" wall oven. We cooked 2 cornish game hens. They turned out great!
First, it arrived super fast (much earlier than we expected). So we couldn't wait to install it. My husband and I spent a little over an hour to put it in, process was simple but the space we had to work with was very tight (I guess this happens to all built in wall oven). After installed, the flame was strong, but we did notice the glass gets warm up over time. It may be an issue for someone but not for us.
We haven't cooked in it yet, but I guess we shall see this weekend =)

Silly me... I accidentally ordered the Electric 24 inch Empava Wall Oven.... I received it in 4 days delivered inside my house ...it did not have a scratch on it.. beautiful... but I meant to order the GAS 24 inch Empava Wall Oven... Empava was very nice about the mess I created and told me that Good Customer Service was their priority and EMPAVA is exchanging the electric stove for the Gas Stove at no cost to me... WOW !! Thank You Empava !!
This is a great built in oven. Unfortunately, it is really easily broken. My first one came undamaged, but when my guys came to change the orifices from natural gas to propane, natural gas is default, they dropped the door and it broke. After some confusion, I have now gotten my refunds. The Empava people are really great.
