This was an amazing cooktop for the price and we are mostly satisfied with it. round up buying this item because you are cut out in our grand cooktop is to accommodate most induction cooktop‘s this has less tender portions. At the same time, we were not looking for a necessary extras that some of the common makes like Bosch feature (opportunity to use pancake griddle attachments, etc.).
The Empava cooktop was packed well. My only concern about the power cord was that the power connection wires are of relatively small gauge encased and are encased in a rubber conduit, not the crushproof metal type which is clearly superior. After replacing this part with a sturdier version, I installed it, which went well.
Unlike some other induction cooktops this does not really have a “low setting”… It seems to throttle the power down by just cycling on and off rather than staying on at a lower level of power as other induction cooktops do. See the attached video and you will see what I mean with the on/off pattern that makes the food boil then cool down repetitively. Some legit chefs might find it hard to simmer on low heat with this quirk.
My only other issue with this cooktop is it does not come with any metal trim pieces to protect the vulnerable class edges. But then again… At the price this was listed for on Amazon — the sub $400 range— one really can’t complain for what is it nicely functioning induction cooktop. Just want people to know what they’re getting.
This cooktop works beautifully. It seems to have plenty of power to boil water quickly.Food heats evenly. I love the cook timer. Cleans up very easily. Nothing ever burns to carbon on the glass that requires chipping and scrubbing. I don't like 2 things. But it just isn't a problem. The burners will cycle on and off . But it doesn't seem to hurt anything. Food won't stick on my stainless cookware if I properly preheat them. The second thing is watch that you don't drip water or let the control buttons get dirty or greasy. The water will simply turn off your burner if it drips on the on off. And greasy top or fingers will not let the buttons work properly. The buttons are really cool. They work like your smart phone ...
I've pan fried Chicken, cooked eggs, boiled huge pots of water, used iron skillet, made omelets, fried potatoes, made fudge... The cook top in my opinion is awesome....
My wife and I were skeptical due to lack of feedback and unfamiliarity with the brand. After a month of use, all fears are allayed. This induction cooktop is a third of the price of others and performs just as well as the name brands. Installation was easy (fortunately the cut-out in the granite countertop accommodated this unit). My only minor gripe is that the instruction manual for installation is not very clear.
This cooktop is excellent. Its not perfect, but for the price it cant be beaten.
There is a wiring diagram stapled to the manual to convert Euro to American. - connect blue with red, brown with black, green with earth.
There are 4 brackets to secure it underneath the counter (they grip on so no drilling needed) and adhesive gasket goes between the countertop and the stove - so silicone is not needed. Just turn off breaker, add seal, drop it in, wire it up, apply brackets, reset breaker.
Installation was effortless, except for the mess left by the previous cooktop (current model GE):
1) This is not very deep. You may find like me that your existing hole is too big depth-wise.
2) Because of it being a tad smaller, there was silicone residue on display on my countertop from the previous installation which is super hard to remove.
So my hole was about 3mm too big at the front and 3mm at the back, which I have fixed with some black silicone tape trim. You cant tell because it bevels down nicely.
The induction aspect is great. I can boil a full large pot in a couple of minutes, and it reacts to temperate setting changes instantly.
Its probably about 4+ times faster than my conventional stove with less watts!!!!
Btw, I feel the lower watt burners are more powerful than the high watt burner on a conventional stove
Last night I used a stainless steel frying pan to fry some mushrooms, which I would never use on a traditional electric cooktop because its not non-stick and the mushrooms would burn on, plus the pan would be impossible to clean.
But I found the mushrooms did not stick and there was no burn on the pan. Maybe because the steel vibrates on an atomic level??
Also on my old (white glass) cooktop whenever I was done cooking it was a real chore to clean because everything burned on the surface (it would even leave burn marks if nothing spilled), but with this cooktop the glass only gets residual heat so it doesnt burn on.
The positives:
- Wildly better to cook with than heating elements. More powerful and instant response to temperature
- Easy install
- Touch sensitive controls like a phone - dont need to poke
- Less food sticks to pans
- Food doesnt burn onto glass / cant see stains
- Price!!
The negatives:
-Too narrow depth-wise
- Unknown Euro import brand means parts may be unavailable. The cooktop may be a writeoff if it needs a repair??
- Shows fingerprints like crazy
-I cleaned some oil splatter with a little palmolive ultra detergent on a wet cloth, and rinsed thoroughly. But when it dried the touch buttons wouldnt work at all. I got panicked. I had to re-wash and apply finger grease all over to make the buttons work again. Its like the detergent applied a fine film that made the buttons not work. That shouldnt happen.
- Boost mode to cook fast, but this would have been better to just make as a temperature setting 10
- You have to hit the appropriate burner button and then the temperature setting to change temperature. I wish it would remember your last burner selection. This slows things down when things are bubbling over.
-When cleaning and you run your rag over the controls, the lock button activates. Then you need to hold it down for 3 seconds to unlock. It would be better if you have to hold it down for 3 seconds to activate it as well.
So far I am over the moon. But I just hope it lasts!
