1 / 6Empava IDCX12 12-Inch Two-Burner Induction Cooktop, 120V
Inch Two-Burner: The Empava IDCX12 Electric Stove Induction Cooktop is a compact, built-in two-element model listed at 120 volts and 1800 watts. Its shared power output, magnetic-pan requirement, and listed 20-amp breaker requirement are important fit considerations for installation and everyday cooking.
At a glance
- Two induction elements share a listed total output of 1800 watts, rather than providing that output independently to each element.
- The listing describes a built-in design, with a plug-in 120V connection and a stated 20-amp breaker requirement.
- Nine power settings, touch controls, and a 1-99-minute timer provide basic adjustment and timed shutoff options.
- The listing calls for magnetic-bottom cookware. A magnet sticking to the pan bottom is given as a compatibility check.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Two cooking zones in a compact 12-inch format can suit a limited counter or small kitchen installation.
- The listing specifies a 1-99-minute timer with automatic shutoff at the end of the set time.
- Touch controls, a digital display, hot-surface indicator, and safety lock are listed.
Cons
- The two elements share the total 1800-watt output, which limits the power available across both zones when cooking simultaneously.
- Induction use requires cookware with a magnetic bottom, so some existing pots and pans may not work.
