The Empava 24-inch natural gas wall oven at $738 is one of the few gas-fueled compact wall ovens available, making it a practical choice for households committed to gas cooking without a range. It offers conduction, convection, and radiant modes in a 2.3 cu ft cavity, a capable feature set that the three reviews so far rate at 4.4, though the sample is too small to fully trust.
Households with existing natural gas lines that want a dedicated wall oven rather than a range. Those doing a kitchen remodel where a gas cooktop will be paired with a separate oven will find this 24-inch unit fills that need at a more accessible price than full-size 30-inch gas wall ovens.
Skip if
Electric-only homes without a gas line should skip this entirely, running a new gas line to the oven location adds substantial cost and permitting. Anyone who needs more than 2.3 cu ft of cooking space should also look elsewhere.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Natural gas single wall ovens are uncommon in the 24-inch class, which is one of the practical reasons this Empava model exists. It runs on natural gas, draws 120 volts for ignition and controls, and offers three distinct heating modes, conduction, convection, and radiant, giving it more versatility than electric units that sometimes skip one mode to cut costs.
The cavity is 2.3 cubic feet across an overall footprint of roughly 22.8 by 23.4 by 23.6 inches. At 80 pounds, installation is manageable with two people, though natural gas connections require a licensed professional in most jurisdictions. The brushed silver finish is a clean look that fits kitchens favoring a matte aesthetic.
With only three reviews averaging 4.4 stars, the early feedback is positive but the dataset is far too small to draw firm reliability conclusions. At $738, this costs significantly more than electric alternatives in the same size class, which is standard for gas wall ovens, gas appliances in this format carry a premium due to lower volume production.
Pros
Natural gas fuel in a 24-inch built-in format is rare, limited competition
Three heating modes (conduction, convection, radiant) at this price level
120V electrical requirement for controls is easy to accommodate alongside the gas line
80-pound weight is manageable for a built-in gas oven
Brushed silver finish offers a clean, modern look
Cons
2.3 cu ft capacity is small for the $738 price
Only 3 reviews, not enough to draw any reliability conclusions
Gas connection requires a licensed professional in most US jurisdictions, adding to total install cost
No published BTU rating makes it impossible to assess heating power directly

Performance notes
Convection mode circulates air for more even heat distribution across the 2.3 cu ft interior, while radiant and conduction modes cover conventional baking approaches. As a gas oven, the heating dynamic differs from electric, gas tends to be more humid inside the cavity, which some bakers prefer for bread and roasts. The 120-volt electrical draw handles ignition and any electronic controls. No BTU output is published by the manufacturer, which limits direct performance comparisons. The 23.4-inch width fits standard 24-inch cutouts designed for compact wall ovens.
What buyers say
Three reviews at 4.4 stars suggests initial buyers are satisfied, but the sample is too small to generalize. Gas wall ovens in this size class attract buyers who specifically need gas and are willing to pay a premium, those buyers tend to research carefully, which may explain the early positive lean. Any major shift in the rating as more reviews accumulate should be watched.
Does this oven require both a gas line and an electrical connection?
Yes. It runs on natural gas for heat and requires a standard 120-volt electrical outlet for ignition and controls. Both connections must be in place before installation. Gas connections should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter per local codes.
How does the convection mode differ from radiant on a gas oven?
In convection mode, an internal fan circulates the heated gas flame air throughout the 2.3 cu ft cavity, reducing hot spots and typically shortening cook times for roasts and baked goods. Radiant mode relies on the burner providing heat from a fixed position without forced circulation, similar to a conventional gas oven.
Can this oven be converted to propane?
This specific model (B0GF7JNVYN) is listed as natural gas. Empava does offer a separate LPG/propane variant in the same 24-inch class. Converting a natural gas appliance to propane requires an orifice conversion kit and must be performed by a qualified technician, do not assume field conversion is straightforward or safe without confirming manufacturer support for this unit.
