A built in oven and microwave oven in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A built-in microwave oven combo provides the best of both worlds by connecting your wall oven and microwave into one unit. They can help free up space on your countertops and give your kitchen a sleek style.

These models come with powerful broilers that cook food evenly. Their microwaves also have the ability to heat food quickly. They also offer a wide range of options for cooking various meals.

Size

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven with the versatility of a wall oven with a built-in microwave and wall oven combo is an efficient solution for many kitchens. Explore our range of combination wall ovens and microwaves to find the perfect one for your home. Be sure to check the cutout specifications of the appliance you choose and follow the installation guide to make sure it fits in your space. Our microwave and oven sets include both oven and microwave models in a variety colors, styles and Black Built In Microwave finishes that will match any decor. Also, look out for features such as intelligent and easy-to-use digital controls, a power cook feature and black built in microwave-in self-cleaning options to help save time.

Convenience

A built-in microwave oven combination can save space on your kitchen counters and add a sleek look to your space. Because it functions as a microwave and a traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen meals and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It also eliminates the requirement for an additional countertop appliance or bulky stand-alone wall oven. If you're looking to improve your home without having to undertake major renovations, a combination microwave oven is a great choice.

You can find microwave oven combos in a variety of designs to fit your kitchen decor. Some have a left-to-right swing-out door, whereas others feature a drop-down style that opens in the same manner as a traditional oven. You can also get microwave ovens that open in a drawer, similar to a cabinet. Microwave drawers are easily reached and are great for small spaces.

Combination microwaves also have many features that can simplify meal preparation and make it more practical. For example, some models come with sensors that allow you to steam your food and automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure that you get perfectly steamed veggies and fish. Other features include a broil element that allows you to quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food and Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill food items, bake and crisp them.

Consider how often you'll use each feature when choosing the microwave oven combination. If you'll be using the oven component of your combo more than the microwave, you may be better off with an oven with two walls instead. It's also important to note that a combo appliance typically has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.

After you've selected a microwave and oven combo to satisfy your needs, think about the installation process. Over-the-range models are positioned over the stovetop or cooktop and connected to a power outlet. Built-in microwaves are installed on walls or cabinets in 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 are in a house or an apartment. They can free up the space in cabinets which would otherwise be taken by separate appliances, and can also help reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and offer an efficient method to cook. They can also be used to cook food and warm dishes. This means that there is less 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 conditions, screening analysis, engineering analysis, and a national impact analysis (NIA). For this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its existing engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the highest level of efficiency improvements that are technically 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 impact on consumers of every product category, 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").

DOE will also evaluate the effects on manufacturers and will employ an altered industry cash flow model specifically tailored to this type of product to calculate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also examine 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 tests for microwave ovens must be updated to include active mode energy use and an black integrated microwave active mode energy use measurement. The current test procedures only address the use of standby mode power.

Design

Wall ovens are based on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves make use of waves to cause the water molecules in food items to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall ovens combine these two distinct appliances into one unit that can be used to save kitchen space and provides sleek, modern design. However, you must carefully think about your needs and budget before purchasing a combination wall oven. A few of the combo wall ovens that we've rated have issues with performance or design.
