A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo provides the best of both worlds by combining your wall oven and microwave into one unit. They can help free space on your counters and give your kitchen a modern design.
These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves cook food quickly. They also offer a wide variety of cooking options to cook different foods.
Size
Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the flexibility of wall ovens, a built in microwave and wall oven is a great solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Explore our entire range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the best suitable one for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications and the installation guide for the model you select to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave and wall oven models include microwave and wall oven models that come in a variety of styles, colors and finishes that will complement any decor. Look for features such as simple and easy controls as well as a power cook feature, and built-in self-cleaning to cut down on time.
Convenience
A microwave oven with built-in features will free up counter space and give your kitchen a more sleek look. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food, and even pre-packaged food items. It removes the need for separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. If you're looking to improve your home without having to undertake major changes, a microwave and a convection oven is a great option.
Microwave ovens can be found in many different styles to match your kitchen decor. Some microwave oven combos have a swing-out right-to-left door and others have drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. There is also microwave ovens with an open-type drawer that opens in the same way as an open cabinet. The microwave drawers are easy to reach and are great for small spaces where you want to minimize the use of counter space.
Combination microwaves also have many features that simplify meal preparation and make it more efficient. For instance, certain models have sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure you receive perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil element which allows you to quickly melt cheese and brown your favorite food. Crispwave(tm) in turn can cook, grill, and crisp food items.
When selecting a microwave oven combination, make sure to consider how often you'll use each function. If you will be using the oven more than the micro, you may prefer an oven that doubles as a wall. It's also important to note that a combination appliance generally has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.
Once you've decided on an oven and microwave combination to meet your needs, you should think about the installation process. Over-the-range models can be positioned over your stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, whereas built-in microwaves are inserted directly into cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that allow you to seamlessly integrate your new microwave into your existing kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave oven combos are a great option for those with smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can help save on the space in cabinets that would be taken up by two separate appliances, and they can also help reduce energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and provide the most efficient method to cook. oven with built in microwave can also be used to cook food and warm meals. This reduces the necessity for other appliances such as toasters or warming plates.
In evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses that include market and technology assessment, screening analysis, engineering analysis, and a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its existing engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the maximum level of improvements in efficiency that are technologically feasible for this product category.
DOE will evaluate the design of a microwave with the energy performance goals set in the engineering analysis. 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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the impacts on consumers for each product class, including lifecycle cost savings and simple payback periods ("PBP"). DOE will use its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").
The impact on manufacturers will be evaluated also, and DOE will use a modified version of its Industry Cash Flow model adapted for this product type to calculate the manufacturing NPV. DOE will also consider the impact of these proposals on small-scale businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to identify those who are likely to be affected.
Additionally, DOE will consider whether the test procedures for microwave ovens need to be revised to include active mode energy use and an active mode energy use measurement. Currently, test procedures only cover standby mode power consumption.
Design
Wall ovens depend on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause the water molecules in food items to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall units blend both appliances into one unit, reducing space in the kitchen while offering a sleek modern aesthetic. You must carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before deciding on a combination wall oven. Many of the combination wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
