This Empava built-in electric wall oven in black shares the same core specs as other models in the lineup, 2.3 cu ft, 3200W, three heating modes, but carries a 3.1-star rating across 5 reviews, which is a below-average signal that warrants serious caution at $640.
Buyers who specifically need a black-finish built-in oven in a 24-inch opening and are willing to accept uncertainty given the low rating, or who have access to a good return policy.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other kitchen ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, range hoods and microwaves we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
On paper, the specs here are nearly identical to the Empava B0F7RJK5KR: 2.3 cu ft capacity, 3200 watts, 240V, three heating modes (conduction, convection, radiant), and a built-in 24-inch installation. The meaningful differences are the black brushed finish and the price, which at $640 is about $40 more than the stainless version.
What sets this model apart in a bad way is the rating. A 3.1-star average from 5 buyers is notably low compared to the 4.2 stars its stainless counterpart earned from a similarly small pool. With only 5 reviews it takes just one or two strongly negative experiences to drag the average down, so it is difficult to know whether the issue is systematic or isolated. That uncertainty is itself a problem when spending $640.
If the black finish is a hard requirement for your kitchen design, that may be the deciding factor. But if finish color is flexible, the stainless versions of this oven have better ratings at comparable or lower prices and should be considered first.
Pros
Black brushed finish suits dark or two-tone kitchen designs where stainless does not fit
Three heating modes (conduction, convection, radiant) in a 24-inch built-in package
3200W on 240V matches the output of higher-rated units in the same lineup
Cons
3.1-star rating is below average, the lowest among similar Empava models
Only 5 reviews makes the low rating hard to contextualize but impossible to ignore
Priced $40 above the better-rated stainless version without a clear advantage
2.3 cu ft is a compact cavity with limited multi-rack flexibility

Performance notes
The 3200-watt element on 240V and three-mode heating (conduction, convection, radiant) match the spec of other Empava 24-inch models. Dimensions are 20.67 x 23.43 x 23.43 inches at 80 pounds, fitting standard 24-inch built-in cutouts. On spec alone, performance should mirror similar models. The question is whether the low buyer rating points to a unit-specific issue, a finish-related defect, or something broader.
What buyers say
Five reviews at 3.1 stars is a concerning signal. While the small sample means a single bad experience has outsized impact, a 3.1 average suggests at least some buyers have had meaningfully negative outcomes. Without more reviews it is not possible to identify a specific pattern, but caution is warranted. Prospective buyers should research any available return or warranty terms before committing.
Why does this oven have a lower rating than other Empava models with the same specs?
The 3.1-star rating comes from only 5 reviews. It is plausible that one or two negative experiences are driving the average down disproportionately, but we cannot confirm whether the issues are isolated or indicate a broader problem with this specific model. The rating is low enough to warrant looking at alternatives first.
Is the black finish the only difference between this and the stainless Empava models?
Based on available specs, the black brushed finish and the $640 price point are the primary differences. The core specs, 2.3 cu ft, 3200W, 240V, three heating modes, 23.43-inch width, are the same as the stainless Empava B0F7RJK5KR, which carries a better rating at a lower price.
What electrical requirements does this oven have?
The oven requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit. At 3200 watts it draws significant current, so confirm your kitchen has the appropriate wiring and breaker capacity. A licensed electrician should verify the circuit before installation if there is any doubt.
