Check price on AmazonBest for
Very budget-conscious shoppers who want a 24-inch dishwasher under $520 and can accept the risk that comes with a limited review base and a lesser-known brand.
Skip if
Reliability and brand support matter to you. With only 2 reviews and a 3.0 average, there is almost no buyer data to draw from, and Empava's service network is less established than major brands.

2 owner reviews, more than most models here
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 vacuum sealers, built-in and countertop dishwashers, food slicers, meat and grain grinders, spice mills and kitchen prep appliances 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
At $512.75, this Empava model is priced below most name-brand 24-inch dishwashers. The 45 dB noise rating is a genuine bright spot, putting it in the same range as some models costing hundreds more. Touch controls and a brushed stainless finish match what you would expect at a higher price tier.
The dimensions are 22.6 x 23.8 x 33.8 inches, which is the same footprint as the slightly pricier B0FK5D7SF4. This model is heavier at 85 lb versus 75 lb for the higher-priced variant, which could indicate differences in internal construction. Capacity is again listed as 15 loads rather than place settings.
With only 2 reviews averaging 3.0, there is essentially no reliable signal on long-term quality. The quiet rating and low price are the main draws, but buyers are taking on more uncertainty than with established brands.
Pros
- 45 dB noise level is quieter than many mid-range dishwashers
- Sub-$520 price is one of the lowest for a 24-inch touch-control unit
- Brushed stainless finish provides a clean, modern appearance
- Touch controls offer a cleaner front panel than push-button options
- Standard 120V operation with no special wiring
Cons
- Only 2 reviews, providing almost no buyer feedback to evaluate
- 3.0 average rating reflects no strong endorsement from early buyers
- Capacity metric in wash loads is not directly comparable to place settings
- Limited brand support infrastructure compared to major appliance brands
Performance notes
Noise is rated at 45 dB, quieter than the pricier B0FK5D7SF4 sibling. Finish is brushed stainless. Controls are touch type. Dimensions are 22.6 x 23.8 x 33.8 inches. Weight is 85 lb. Voltage is 120 V. Capacity listed as 15 load.
What buyers say
A 3.0 average from just 2 reviews provides almost no useful signal. Two buyers averaging 3.0 out of 5 indicates neutral-to-slightly-disappointed satisfaction, but a sample of two is far too small to draw confident conclusions either way. The quiet rating and price may attract buyers willing to accept that uncertainty.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between this model and the Empava B0FK5D7SF4?
Both units share the same dimensions at 22.6 x 23.8 x 33.8 inches, the same touch controls, and brushed stainless finish. The B0FK5F4JVX is $122.65 cheaper and rated 4 dB quieter at 45 dB versus 49 dB. It is also 10 lb heavier at 85 lb versus 75 lb. Beyond that, specification differences are not clearly documented, and the lower price may reflect fewer features or a different wash cycle count.
Is 45 dB quiet enough for a kitchen near a bedroom or living room?
45 dB is meaningfully quieter than the 50 to 55 dB machines that were standard a decade ago. It is roughly equivalent to a quiet home office or rainfall in the distance. Running it overnight while you sleep in an adjacent room is generally fine at this level, though individual sensitivity to sound varies.
Where can I get support or parts if something goes wrong?
Empava operates customer support through its website and Amazon seller channel. For a brand of this size, finding third-party repair technicians familiar with the product may be harder than for major brands like GE or Whirlpool, where service networks are well established. Before purchasing any smaller-brand appliance, it is worth confirming what warranty coverage looks like and whether in-home service is available in your area.
