A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A microwave oven that is built-in can combine your wall oven and your microwave into one appliance. They can free up counter space and give your kitchen a stylish appearance.
These models have powerful broilers that cook evenly and microwaves that heat food quickly. They offer a wide range of cooking options for different foods.
Size
Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the versatility of a wall oven and a built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a great solution for many kitchens. Browse our full range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the right suitable one for your home. Be sure to read the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the model you select to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave & wall oven combos include both wall oven and microwave models that are available in a range of styles, colors and finishes to match any decor. Also, look out for features like smart and convenient digital controls, a power cook function, and built-in self-cleaning options to help you save time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combo can free up counter space in your kitchen and give a stylish look to your space. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food, and even pre-packaged food items. It can eliminate the necessity for separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. A combination microwave oven can also be a good option for those who want to modernize your kitchen without undertaking any major renovations.
Discover More can find microwave ovens in various styles to match your kitchen decor. Some have a right-to-left swing-out door, whereas others have a drop-down design that opens the same way as an ordinary oven. There is also an oven and microwave that opens inside a drawer, like a cabinet. The microwave drawers are easy to reach and are ideal for small spaces where you need to minimize the use of counter space.
Combination microwaves are also equipped with various features that simplify meal preparation and make it more convenient. For instance, certain models have sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure that you receive perfectly steamed veggies and fish. Other features include the broil element that allows you to swiftly melt cheese and cook your favorite dish. Crispwave(tm) is meanwhile, can grill, bake, and crisp food.
Consider how often you will utilize each feature before deciding on a microwave oven combo. If you'll be using the oven more than the microwave, you may be better off buying a double wall-oven. A combo oven is smaller in capacity than a standalone oven.
Once you've selected the best microwave and oven combination for your requirements, you need to consider the installation. Over-the-range models can be positioned over your cooktop or stove and connect to an electrical outlet, whereas built-in microwaves can be plugged directly into cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that let you effortlessly integrate your new microwave into the cabinets in your kitchen.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combo is an ideal space-saving solution for those with smaller kitchens, whether they reside in a house or apartment. They can free up the space that would be taken up by separate appliances, and can also help reduce energy consumption. They generally provide the most efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens because they use less energy. They can also be used to cook food or warm meals. This reduces the requirement for other appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.
When evaluating potential amended energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses, including assessment of technology and market screening analysis, engineering analysis, and national impacts analysis (NIA). For 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 class.
In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave to 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 impact on consumers, such as the cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the simple payback period (PBP). DOE will employ its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate the industry's net present value ("NPV").
ovens with built in microwave will also assess the impact on manufacturers and will use an industry-specific cash flow model modified to fit this particular product to estimate manufacturing NPV. Finally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small-business manufacturers as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to determine if they could be disproportionately affected by these proposals.
Additionally, DOE will consider whether the test procedures for microwave ovens should be updated to include active mode energy use as well as an active mode energy use measurement. The current tests only cover standby mode power consumption.
Design
Wall ovens depend on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves use waves to cause water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall units blend both appliances into one unit, which is ideal for securing space in the kitchen and providing a modern and sleek design. It is important to take into consideration your budget and goals before investing in a combination wall oven. Many of the combination wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
