A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo incorporates your wall oven and your microwave into a single appliance. They can free up space on your counters and give your kitchen a stylish appearance.
These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves cook food quickly. They also have a wide range of options for cooking different foods.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. It offers the convenience of a microwave with the flexibility of wall ovens. Browse our selection of wall ovens that combine with microwaves to find the ideal fit for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and the installation guide for your chosen unit to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave and wall oven combos include both wall oven and microwave models that are available in a variety of colors, styles and finishes to complement any style. Also, look out for features like modern and efficient electronic controls, a power-cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options to help reduce time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combination can save space on kitchen counters and add a sleek design to your space. Since it functions as a microwave in addition to a traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen food items and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It can eliminate the necessity for separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. If you are looking to upgrade your home without having to do major remodeling, a combination microwave oven is a great choice.
Microwave oven combos are available in different styles to suit your kitchen decor. Some microwave oven combos feature a swing-out right-to-left door or drop-down designs that open in the same way as traditional ovens. You can also purchase a microwave-oven combo that opens through a drawer like a cabinet. Microwave drawers are easily reached and are great for small space.
Combination microwaves also come with various features that simplify meal preparation and make it more practical. Some models have a sensor steam mode that adjusts the temperature and duration of your food in order to ensure that you get perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil feature that allows you to quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food and Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill or bake food and make it crisp.
When selecting a microwave oven combination, make sure to think about how often you'll be using each function. If you'll use the oven part of your combination more often than the microwave, you may prefer a double wall oven. A combo appliance has a smaller capacity than a standalone oven.
After you've selected a microwave and oven combo to meet your needs, consider the installation procedure. Over-the-range models can be positioned over the stove or cooktop and connect to an electrical outlet, while built-in microwaves can be plugged directly into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that let you effortlessly blend your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built in microwave oven combination can be an excellent space-saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, regardless of whether they are in a house or an apartment. They can save space in cabinets that would be taken up by separate appliances, and can also help reduce energy consumption. in built microwave oven are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and offer a more efficient way to cook. They can also be used to cook food or warm meals. This eliminates the need for other appliances like toasters or warming plates.
DOE performs several analyses when evaluating potential amendments to energy conservation standards. These include market and technology assessments screening analyses, engineering analyses, and national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the highest level of improvements in efficiency that are technically feasible for this product category.
In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave with a set of energy performance objectives. The engineering analysis will then determine the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that is technologically feasible based on the most advanced microprocessor-controlled model available on the market or in working prototypes, or the maximum reduction in energy consumption that is technically achievable with the current technologies available for this product class.
As part of NIA, DOE will assess the effects on consumers, including the cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the simple payback period (PBP). DOE will utilize the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens to determine the industry's net present value (NPV).
The impact on manufacturers will be evaluated as well as the impact on manufacturers will be evaluated. DOE will use an updated version of its Industry Cash Flow model, which has been adapted for this product type to calculate the manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the impact of these proposals on small businesses and other subgroups of manufacturers to identify those that may be disproportionately affected.
DOE will also examine whether the test procedure for microwave ovens has to be revised to include active mode power consumption and an integrated energy use measurement. Currently, test procedures only provide standby mode power usage.
Design
Wall ovens depend on the circulation of hot air evenly while microwaves make use of waves to cause the water molecules in food items to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into a single unit, which is ideal for securing space in the kitchen while giving a modern, sleek look. However, you must carefully think about your needs and budget before purchasing a combination wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we rated have design or performance issues.
