OK, so I have owned and used this unit for approximately 4 months. I wanted to use it for a bit so I could give a more full, accurate review.
I purchased this oven to replace a gas wall oven I had in my kitchen. I prefer the dry heat that an electric oven offers over the wet heat of gas, much better crispy skin on my chickens and turkeys and easier browning on my baked goods! Since my previous oven was gas I did not have the higher watt/volt electrical outlet that most electric ovens require. To get the special outlet installed would have been difficult, at best, and pretty expensive since my electric box is on the opposite side of the house! So started my search for an oven that would work on a regular 110v outlet. (Not necessarily an easy task!) I was so excited when I discovered the Empava brand of ovens! They have several different models, with different cooking options, to choose from to fit your style. The oven arrived in the scheduled time period (fabulous!), but unfortunately was damaged (not so fabulous!). There was a sizable dent on the back panel that prevented the convection oven fan from operating. I contacted the manufacturer and they responded very promptly, willing to work with me to rectify the situation! Talk about customer service!!! They sent me a new oven cavity right away and I received it about a week later. I was disappointed to see that the replacement also had a dent on the back, in the exact same area as the first. I was at my house when both ovens were delivered, and from seeing where the dent was/is and how the deliver guy was carrying the oven, instead of using a dolly to bring it in, I'm certain that a knee was what caused the damage!!! Either from him or some other individual during transport. Anyhow, the dent on the new unit did not hinder the fan or the oven from operating at all! (Since it's able to work on a regular outlet, I plugged it in on my kitchen counter and tested it by baking cookies!) I decided to keep it since the back of the oven was going to be hidden inside the wall cabinet anyway! After I removed the oven door (they sent me instructions on how) and all the accessories (less things to break or cause more damage to the unit in transport) I returned the damaged unit. The manufacturer contacted me to see that the new oven had been received and in good working order. Once I told them about the dent on the new oven they offered to refund me the full price if I wanted to return it or if I wanted to keep the oven they would give me a discount on it. Seriously?! WOW! You don't get service like that offered anymore these days!!! I love all the features on the oven, especially one I didn't even know came on it until after I received the oven.... a rotisserie!!!! So I told them I absolutely wanted to keep the oven. It was already a great price to begin with, but with the discount it was an unbelievable value!!! The contractor I hired to remove the gas oven and install this one was impressed with it's ability to plug into a standard outlet (he said he had never seen one like that before) and he really like the slick look of the black mirrored glass, stainless handle and the digital touchscreen operations! Another bonus of this oven, and I found it out the hard way by crisping a batch of cookies a bit too much, is that it cooks SUPER fast!!! I mean like 40% faster! My cookies which normally take 8-10 minutes only take about 6 minutes now! Although I have to calculate the time and watch most everything I cook in this oven (not necessarily a bad thing!) I am able to get dinner, and dessert, on the table much faster!!! I have yet to try the rotisserie, but I can't wait! (Oh, and the oven comes with a drip pan to catch the juices when you use the rotisserie!!!) Needless to say, I am very pleased with my oven, and the customer service I received from this company was by far some of the best I have ever seen!!! I hope you enjoy this oven as much as I do!
The oven looks and performs exactly as expected. So far, no complaints whatsoever.
it perfectly fit in my kitchen and heat up quick ! it comes with a regular 110v powercord , it only took me 15 mins to install it.
Great unit for the price. For a 120 volt system it does ok.
replacing the old 24 inch GE oven and it works good
