A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A microwave oven with built-in features incorporates your wall oven and your microwave into one unit. They can help free space on your counters and give your kitchen a sleek style.

These models are equipped with powerful broilers that cook food evenly. Their microwaves also allow food to be cooked quickly. These models offer a range of options to cook various dishes.

Size

A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a fantastic solution for kitchens of all kinds. It combines the convenience of a microwavable with the flexibility of wall ovens. Browse our selection of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the best one for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the model you select to ensure it will work in your space. Our microwave & wall oven combinations feature both wall oven and microwave models that are available in a range of styles, colors and finishes to match any style. Also, look for features such as modern and efficient digital controls, a power-cook function, and built-in self-cleaning options that will help you save time.

Convenience

A built in microwave oven combo can free up space on your kitchen counters and add a sleek appearance to your kitchen. Since it functions as a microwave and a traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen food items and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It can eliminate the necessity for separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. If you want to upgrade your home without the need for major remodeling the combination microwave oven is a great option.

Microwave oven combos are available in a variety of different styles to suit your kitchen's decor. Some microwave oven combos have doors that swing open from right to left, while others are drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. There is also an oven and microwave that opens inside a drawer, like a cabinet. built in microwaves can be easily accessible and are perfect for small space.

Combination microwaves can also provide various features to help make meal prep easier and more convenient. For instance, certain models have sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure you receive perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil element which lets you quickly melt cheese and brown your favorite dish. Crispwave™ is meanwhile, can cook, grill, and crisp food.

When selecting a microwave oven combination, be sure to take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll be using the oven portion of your combo more than the microwave, you might prefer a double wall oven instead. It's also important to remember that a combination appliance generally has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.

After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination for your needs, it's time to consider the installation. Over-the range models are mounted over your stovetop or cooktop and connected to a power outlet. Built-in microwaves are inserted into cabinets or walls in your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits to match your new microwave to the cabinets you already have.

Energy Efficiency

A built-in microwave oven combo is a great space saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they are in a house or apartment. They can help save space in cabinets that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and can also cut down on energy usage. They typically offer the most efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens since they consume less energy. They can also be used to cook food or warm food items. This means that there is less need for other appliances like toasters or warming plates.

DOE performs several analyses when evaluating potential amendments to energy conservation standards. These include technology and market assessments, screening analysis, engineering analyses and national impact analysis (NIA). For this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the best efficiency improvements that are technically feasible for this product class.

In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave with 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 this product class.

As part of the NIA, DOE will evaluate the impacts on consumers for each product category including lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback time (“PBP”). DOE will utilize the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for ovens that can be microwaved, to determine the industry's net present value (NPV).

Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated also as the impact on manufacturers will be evaluated. DOE will employ a modified version of its Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified for this type of product to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also examine the impacts of these plans on small businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to determine those who could be most affected.

In addition, DOE will consider whether the test procedures for microwave ovens should be updated to include active mode energy use as well as a possible integrated active mode energy use metric. The current test procedures only cover standby mode power consumption.

Design

Microwaves create heat by causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens rely upon the circulation of hot air, while microwaves depend on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall ovens combine these two distinct appliances into a single unit that saves kitchen space and offers an elegant, modern look. But you need to carefully think about your needs and budget before purchasing a combination wall oven. Several of the combination wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
