A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A built in microwave with grill-in microwave oven combo combines your wall oven with your microwave into a single appliance. They can save counter space and give your kitchen an elegant appearance.

These models have powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves cook food quickly. They also come with a broad range of options for cooking various meals.

Size

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven with the flexibility of an oven on a wall, a built in microwave and wall oven combination is an efficient solution for many kitchens. Explore our range of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the ideal one for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications for your selected model and the installation guide to be sure it fits in your space. Our microwave and oven combos include both microwave and oven models in a variety colors, styles and finishes that will complement any decor. Also, look for features such as smart and convenient digital controls, a power-cook function, and built-in self-cleaning options to help you reduce time.

Convenience

A built-in microwave oven combination can save space on kitchen counters and give a stylish look to your space. Because it acts as a microwave and a traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen food items and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It can also eliminate the need for an additional countertop appliance or the bulky wall oven that is a stand-alone unit. A combination microwave oven could also be a good option for those who want to modernize your kitchen without having to undergo any major renovations.

Microwave ovens are available in a variety of different styles to suit your kitchen's decor. Some microwave oven combos have doors that swing out right to left or drop-down designs that open in the same way as traditional ovens. You can also get microwave ovens that open inside a drawer, similar to cabinets. The microwave drawers can be easily reached and are ideal for small space.

Combination microwaves can also offer various features to aid in meal preparation and more convenient. Certain models come with a sensor steam mode that alters the temperature and time of your food automatically to ensure that you get perfectly steamed vegetables and fish. Other features include a broil element that lets you quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that can grill food items, bake and crisp them.

Consider how often you will use each feature when choosing the microwave oven combination. If you'll be using the oven more than the micro, you may be better off buying a double wall-oven. A combo oven has less capacity than an individual oven microwave built in combo.

When you've chosen a microwave and oven combo to satisfy your needs, think about the installation process. Over-the-range models are installed over your cooktop or stove and connected to an electrical outlet. Built-in microwaves are installed into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits to ensure that your new microwave is in line with your cabinets.

Energy Efficiency

A 25l built in microwave-in microwave oven combo can provide an excellent space-saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, regardless of whether they are in a house or apartment. They can free up the space which would otherwise be taken by separate appliances. They can also help reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and provide an efficient method to cook. They can also be used to cook warm and hot dishes, which reduces the requirement for additional appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.

In evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses which include assessment of technology and market conditions screening analysis, engineering analysis, and national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the highest level of efficiency improvements that are technologically feasible for this product category.

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 this product class.

As part of NIA, DOE will assess the impacts on consumers, such as the cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the simple payback period (PBP). DOE will use 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 also as the impact on manufacturers will be evaluated. DOE will use a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model adapted for this type of product to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also examine the impacts of these plans on small-scale businesses as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to identify those that may be disproportionately affected.

Additionally, DOE will consider whether the test procedures for microwave ovens must be revised to include active mode energy use as well as an white Integrated microwave active mode energy use measure. Currently, the test procedures only address the use of standby mode power.

Design

Microwaves generate 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 units blend both appliances into one unit, reducing space in the kitchen and offering a sleek modern aesthetic. It is important to consider your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. Some of the combination ovens we rated have design or performance issues.
