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 you save space on your counters and give your kitchen an elegant look.
These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly, and their microwaves cook food quickly. They offer a wide range of options to cook different foods.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. It is a combination of the convenience of a microwave with the versatility of wall ovens. Explore our collection of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the perfect solution for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the appliance you choose to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave and oven combos include microwave and oven models that come in a variety of designs, colors and styles that will match any decor. Look for features such as simple and easy controls, a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning system to save you time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven will free up counter space and make your kitchen appear more modern appearance. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food, and packaged food items. It can eliminate the necessity of separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. If you want to upgrade your home without having to do major changes, a microwave and a convection oven is a great option.
You can find microwave ovens in various styles to match the decor of your kitchen. Some have a left-to-right swing-out door, whereas others have a drop-down design that opens in the same manner as a traditional oven. There is also microwave ovens that have an open-type drawer that opens in the same way as a cabinet. The microwave drawers are easy to reach and are perfect for smaller spaces where you want to avoid taking up valuable counter space.
Combination microwaves can also offer various features that help make meal prep easier and more efficient. For example, some models have sensors that allow you to steam your food and automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure you receive perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil feature that lets you quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill, bake and crisp foods.
Consider how often you will make use of each feature when choosing a microwave oven combo. If you'll be using the oven part of your combination more often than the microwave, you may be better off using a double wall oven instead. It's important to keep in mind that a combo oven typically has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.
When you've chosen a microwave and oven combo to meet your needs, you should think about the installation process. Over-the range models are mounted over your stovetop or cooktop and connect to the power outlet. Built-in microwaves are inserted into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Certain models have trim kits that ensure that your new microwave is in line with your 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. Additionally, they can also help to reduce energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and provide the most efficient method to cook. In addition, they can be used to cook both food and warm dishes, which reduces the need for additional appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.
In evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses that include assessment of technology and market conditions, screening analysis, engineering analysis, and national impacts analysis (NIA). In oven microwave built in will utilize its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine what degree of efficiency improvements are technologically feasible for this particular product.
DOE will evaluate the design of a microwave to an energy performance objective that is specified 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 effects on consumers for each product class including lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback period ("PBP"). DOE will utilize the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens to calculate the industry's net present value (NPV).
Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated also and DOE will employ an updated version of its Industry Cash Flow model adapted to this particular product type to calculate the manufacturing NPV. DOE will also examine the effects of these proposals on small businesses as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to identify those who could be most affected.
Additionally, DOE will consider whether the testing procedures for microwave ovens need to be revised to include active mode energy use as well as a possible integrated active mode energy use metric. The current test procedures only cover the standby mode power usage.
Design
Wall ovens are based on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves make use of waves to cause the water molecules in food to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall ovens combine these two very different appliances into one unit that helps save kitchen space and provides an elegant, modern look. However, you must carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before deciding to purchase a combination wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we rated have performance or design issues.
