The Empava 24-inch gas cooktop fits four burners into a compact built-in footprint at $293.99, delivering a respectable 4396W combined output in a black tempered glass finish. At 4.0 stars from 67 buyers, it is a credible entry point for a smaller kitchen that wants gas cooking without stepping up to a full 30-inch width.
Cooks with a narrow counter run who want gas heating and four burners in a built-in format. It suits small apartments, condos, or kitchenettes where a 30-inch cooktop simply will not fit but a portable single burner feels inadequate.
Skip if
Buyers who regularly cook multiple large pots simultaneously may find the 24-inch surface too cramped with four burners active. Anyone needing more than four burners should look at 30-inch or 36-inch options.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
At 24 inches wide and 25 pounds, the Empava gas cooktop carves out space in a segment where options are limited: four-burner gas in a permanent built-in format under 30 inches wide. The 4396W total output across four burners is reasonable for the size, and the built-in installation with a black finish keeps it clean and integrated with the countertop.
Dimensions are 20.08 x 23.23 x 3.94 inches, and the unit runs on 110V for ignition. At $293.99, it sits at an accessible price for a permanent gas installation. The black tempered glass surface simplifies the appearance and is relatively straightforward to wipe down between uses.
With 67 reviews at 4.0 stars, the sample is moderate. The rating is consistent for the price tier and the 24-inch niche, where buyers are primarily seeking fit rather than comparing premium features head-to-head.

Performance notes
Four gas burners on a 24-inch surface work well for everyday cooking tasks but feel tighter than a 30-inch layout when running large-diameter pans on adjacent burners. The 4396W combined rating indicates a mix of burner sizes, likely one higher-output and one or more lower-output burners. Gas heating responds immediately to control adjustments, making it effective for techniques like quick searing followed by a low simmer. At 3.94 inches deep, the drop-in profile sits close to flush with standard countertop thickness.
What buyers say
With 67 reviews and a 4.0-star average, buyer sentiment is positive within a niche segment. The 4.0 rating at this price and size suggests the cooktop performs as expected for the specific buyers seeking a compact permanent gas option. The moderate review count limits the ability to identify reliability trends, but the rating is not dragged down by outliers.
Does the Empava 24-inch gas cooktop fit a standard countertop cutout?
No standard cutout is designed for 24 inches, so you will need to verify cutout dimensions from the installation guide before cutting. It is not a drop-in replacement for a 30-inch cooktop without countertop modification.
Is this cooktop compatible with propane?
The specs list gas as the fuel type. Verify whether a propane conversion kit is included or separately available for your specific installation, and confirm compatibility with your local gas supply before purchasing.
How does the 24-inch width affect everyday cooking?
Four burners in 24 inches work well for smaller meals and standard pot sizes. Using two or more large-diameter pans simultaneously will feel tight compared to a 30-inch layout. For one or two-person households or light cooking loads, the compact size is a reasonable tradeoff for the footprint savings.
