36" Bulit-in Tempered Glass Gas Cooktops 5 Italy Imported Sabaf Burners Stove Tops, 36 Inch, Black

I ordered this to replace our previous tempered glass cooktop which exploded spontaneously. I loved the look of this one when I saw it on Amazon. I also got the installation paid for an installer through Amazon. Our previous cooktop had a 3/8" gas connection, and this one had a 1/2" connection (from the 5/8" gas line). The folks that came to install it did not have a connector adapter to make up the difference. Our old cooktop had a regulator to regulate the flow of gas, and the installation guys didn't know if we needed to keep it. They also didn't carry the coupler needed to do the gas connection, and offered to run to Home Depot to get it for $60. I say I could do it myself. I then emailed Empava and had a response within a few hours: The regulator was not needed. After 4 trips to Home Depot, I realized they didn't have the coupler. So went back to Amazon, ordered it there (Anderson Metals Brass Tube Fitting, Coupling, 5/8" Flare x 1/2" Female Pipe at https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AZ1SB4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). Once I got it, I installed it and it has been working perfectly. I thought of taking 1 star away for the headache, but I'm not sure if this was just because I had an old cooktop with an outdated connector. So far, I love this cooktop. So 5-stars.

I broke my old cooktop while cleaning it as it didn't have protection from liquid going into parts that shouldn't get wet. This one does! Easy to get the flame going and that center burner gets HOT! Wife loves the new one. Only thing id say is that it does get finger printed and smudged easily due to the glass top. No matter what you do or what cleaner I use it always has some smudge but it looks great regardless.

Got this to replace our 22 year old Thermador cooktop - Install was quick and easy. Conversion to LP was easy. Looked nice. But, just like other reviewers have mentioned - there is next to no control of the gas flow to the burners. You either have 100% or maybe 60% no in between. No adjustments available at the control valves either. Returned this unit and got a Frigidaire - this one worked out of the box and also had adjustments for low burner settings. Potential safety issue with the grates on this model as well. If you look at the pictures, the front two burners are near the edge of the grates, they should have continued to the edge of the cooktop. Very easy to tip a pot off the edge, especially if trying to keep flame centered on your pot/pan. Side note, this unit touts designed & engineered in USA - unit is of course built in China. Burners do say made in Italy.

This cook top blows LG and probably most big name brands out of the water from cost to quality. It is super easy to clean and all burners have super heating burners and will adjust down lower than low to the point of barely having any flame to keep stuff warm too. I could not be more pleased with this quality, price and function. Incredible joy after wrestling with LG about how ridiculous the pricing is on their knobs that constantly crack and become unusable!!

I've wanted a gas cooktop for awhile due to the disappointment in my GE Profile electric cooktop. The 36 inch unit was a straight drop-in replacement for the GE cooktop so an easy switch in my case. I don't have gas in the house and was determined to use this unit with a Propane (LP) tank installed in the cabinet underneath due to ready availability of Propane tanks in my area versus Natural Gas. I have a good high volume vent hood and am familiar with gas appliances so I feel confident in the safety of the unit. As indicated in some other reviews, the instructions were somewhat unclear, particularly regarding the conversion from Natural Gas to Propane. If you are doing this conversion you will have to replace the burner nozzles and adjust the regulator for Propane AND you will have to disassemble the cooktop (fairly easy) to adjust the flame height for each burner. Fortunately, and much to my surprise, Empava provided EXCELLENT support via email and had me up and running in short order. They sent me videos detailing the assembly of the cooktop, as well as for the conversion and adjustment of the burners. During the process I accidentally chipped one of the enameled burner plates (my fault), and requested a replacement from Empava, which I received in about three days. I did not use the provided regulator and went with a higher end Weber regulator installed at the tank rather than directly under the cooktop, also, I had to purchase a different fitting for the cooktop to attach the hose coming from the tank. All parts were easy to find at the local hardware store so no issues. Just as an FYI, the unit does require a standard 110V outlet to plug in the cooktop - this is for piezoelectric starter, so if you don't have a plug in the cabinet under the cooktop you may need to run a wire or extension.

I would like it better if the lowest temperature burner was in the rear. Needs a regular temperature burner up front .

Awesome product. I would say for a glass one this is super cheap but works really well. It was super easy to install at the house. Ive been using it for 6 months now. Its probably the best thing you can get for 400. It may be a little hard to clean once in a while if you dont clean it every week.

Got this for my mom for mother's day to replace the stove that didn't work anymore. It didn't take too long for my brother to install it but note my brother does stuff like that for a living. Sometimes the burners take a few times to turn on, but I'm not sure if that's an issue with the stove or not. It's been a year as well, it hasn't cracked and still works. The size was accurate.

recomiendo el producto 100% calidad, estética y buen precio

The stove arrived fully assembled but was missing one burner cap - no big deal, I assumed Empava would make good and timely ship out a replacement for the missing part. As required, I hired a professional installer to install the stove and do the needed conversion to propane. Once the stove was installed we discovered that the flames for the burners needed adjustment. The installer tells me this is usually the case. The problem we discovered is that the adjustment screws are not accessible without uninstalling and disassembling the stove. And once it is uninstalled and disassembled, we would have to reinstall and reassemble the burners to do the adjustment, and then uninstall, disassemble and reassemble again to add back the glass cooktop. The installer assured me that this is not normal or necessary on other gas stoves. Additionally, he pointed out that the valve stems (that the knobs fit not) were misaligned in the glass openings for them, a problem no amount of disassembly or reassembly would solve. Furthermore, we discovered the stove itself had no serial number, which again suggested that the stove was carelessly made and/or a second, and possibly a returned item they decided to sell again as new. Numerous communications asking how to do the burner adjustment were met with surprise that I would even want to. But the flames on the stove I received do not properly calibrate: the only way to get a low flame is to turn the stove almost off, which is the reverse of how the burners are supposed to work. In light of the various issues, I asked that the stove be replaced, preferably with a stainless model, which I thought might not have the same accessibility problems caused by the glass top. Customer service never responded to this query, nor did they offer to supply the missing burner cap. Mostly the agent kept reiterating that if I want to adjust the burners I have to take apart the stove, at the same time making it seem like my request to adjust the burners so they would function correctly was unusual. After a lot of back and forth, Empava offered that I could return the stove for refund since I was in the 30 day return period. So that is what I have decided to do, and I will be purchasing a new stove from a different supplier. Meanwhile, I am out over $300 for the installation of Empava's defective stove. They did not respond at all to my complaint that the stove I received was a) incomplete and b) defective and c) I was out over $300 on installation of their defective product, other than to tell me I could return it. According to them, that is my problem, they will not reimburse the installation costs which I will have to again pay when I get another stove. Since one is required to hire a professional installer to do the conversion and installation, a refund for the product only is not adequate in this case. I asked Amazon customer service if they could intervene and was told no, Empava is a 3rd party seller. I never raised the issue with Empava but I also noticed that the knobs are poorly made. There is a teeny piece that fits inside the handle to hold it against the valve stem. On one of the knobs on my stove, that piece kept coming out when the knob was removed. Given that this problem cropped up with presumably brand new knobs, once can anticipate the knobs will likely need frequent replacement with use. My olde Sears-Kenmore gas stove has lasted over 30 years without issue. Regrettably, I broke one valve stem and have learned that replacement parts are n longer available - I figured that a 30 years newer cooktop would be even better than my old one and decided it was time to replace it. Empava promised a high quality product and I can say absolutely that my old cooktop is much much better in terms of both design and function. The upshot - beware of buying the tempered glass stove from Empava, and certainly not through Amazon - better off to buy a better made product locally with installation, by a vendor who will take responsibility if the product is defective, as was the stove I received from Empava. I don't know if the same burner adjustment problem exists on the stainless steel models - if it does, buy elsewhere so as not to waste your money.
