A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A built-in microwave oven combo gives you the best of both worlds by combining your microwave and oven into one appliance. They can save space on your counters and give your kitchen a classy appearance.

These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves cook food quickly. These models offer a range of cooking options for different foods.

Size

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the flexibility of an oven on a wall with a built in combination microwave oven and grill-in microwave and wall oven combination is a practical solution for many kitchens. Explore our entire selection of combination microwaves and wall ovens to find the best fit for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the model you select to ensure it will work in your space. Our microwave & wall oven models include microwave and wall oven models that are available 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 a built in microwave black-in self-cleaning feature to save you time.

Convenience

A microwave oven with built-in features will save you counter space and give your kitchen a sleeker appearance. Because it acts as a microwave and a traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen food items and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It can also eliminate the need for an additional countertop appliance or bulky stand-alone wall oven. If you are looking to upgrade your home without having to undertake major changes, a microwave and a convection oven is a great choice.

Microwave oven combos are available in a variety of different styles to fit your kitchen decor. Certain microwave oven combos come with doors that swing open from right to left and others have drop-down designs that open in the same way as traditional ovens. You can also get a microwave-oven combo that opens in a drawer, like cabinets. Microwave drawers are easily reached and are ideal for small spaces.

Combination microwaves can also provide various features to assist in making meal preparation easier and more convenient. For instance, some models come with a sensor steam cycle that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure that you receive perfectly steamed veggies and fish. Other features include a broil feature that lets you quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that can grill food items, bake and crisp them.

When choosing a microwave combination, you should think about how often you'll be using each function. If you will be using the oven more than the microwave, you may prefer a double wall-oven. A combo appliance has a smaller capacity than an individual oven.

After you've chosen the right microwave and oven combination for your requirements, you need to consider the installation. 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 cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that allow you to seamlessly blend your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.

Energy Efficiency

built in oven and microwave combination-in microwave oven builtin ovens are a great choice for those who have smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can free up the space in cabinets that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances. They can also reduce energy consumption. They generally provide an efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, as they tend to use less energy. Additionally, they can usually be used to cook warm and hot dishes, which reduces the requirement for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.

When evaluating possible amendments to energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses that include assessment of technology and market conditions screening analysis, engineering analysis, and a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will use its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvements are technologically feasible for this particular product.

In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave to an energy performance set of goals. 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 built in microwave oven 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 time ("PBP"). DOE will employ its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate the industry's net present value ("NPV").

The impact of manufacturers will be assessed as well and DOE will employ a modified version of its Industry Cash Flow model adapted to this particular product type to estimate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to identify any that could be disproportionately affected by these proposals.

DOE will also look into whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption as well as an stainless steel integrated microwave energy use measurement. At present, the tests only include standby mode power consumption.

Design

Microwaves produce heat by causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens depend on the circulation of hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall units blend these two appliances into a single unit, reducing space in the kitchen while offering a sleek modern aesthetic. You must carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before investing in a combination wall oven. A few of the combo wall ovens that we've rated have issues with performance or design.
