A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A microwave oven with built-in features can combine your wall oven and your microwave into a single appliance. They can free up space on your counters and give your kitchen a stylish appearance.

These models are equipped with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. The microwaves can also allow food to be cooked quickly. They also offer a wide variety of cooking options to cook various meals.

Size

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven with the flexibility of a wall oven and a built-in microwave and wall oven is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. Explore our complete selection of combination microwaves and wall ovens to find the perfect fit for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the model you select to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave and wall oven combinations feature both microwave and wall oven models that come in a variety of styles, colors and finishes to match any decor. Look for features like simple and easy controls as well as a power cook feature and a built-in self-cleaning system to save you time.

Convenience

A built in microwaves in microwave oven combination can save space on kitchen counters and give a stylish design to your space. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food items, and even pre-packaged food items. It can also eliminate the need for an additional countertop appliance or bulky stand-alone wall oven. If you're looking to improve your home without the need for major remodeling, a microwave and a convection oven is a great choice.

There are microwave oven combos in various styles to match the decor of your kitchen. 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. You can also find microwave ovens that have an open-type drawer that opens as a cabinet. Microwave drawers can be easily reached and are great for small spaces.

Combination microwaves also come with a variety of features that can make meal preparation easier and more efficient. Some models have a sensor steam mode that adjusts the temperature and time of your food automatically to ensure you get perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil element that allows you to swiftly melt cheese and brown your favorite food. Crispwave(tm), meanwhile, can grill, bake and crisp food items.

Consider how often you'll utilize each feature before deciding on a microwave-oven combination. If you'll be using the oven component of your combo more than the microwave, you might be better off with an oven with two walls instead. It's important to keep in mind that a combination Appliance Installation generally has less capacity than a conventional standalone oven.

After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination that meets your needs, it's time to consider the installation. Over-the-range models mount over your cooktop or stove and plug into an electrical outlet, while built-in microwaves can be plugged directly into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models include trim kits to match your new black integrated microwave oven to your cabinets.

Energy Efficiency

A built-in microwave oven combo is an excellent space-saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, regardless of whether they are in a house or an apartment. They can help reduce the amount of cabinet space that would otherwise be occupied by two separate appliances, and they can also help reduce energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and offer the most efficient method to cook. They can also be used to cook food and warm dishes. This eliminates the requirement for other appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.

When evaluating potential amended 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 engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvements are feasible for this particular product.

In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave against a set of energy performance 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 effects on consumers for every product category including lifecycle cost savings and simple payback period ("PBP"). DOE will employ its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").

DOE will also examine the impact on manufacturers and will employ a modified industry cash flow model that is specifically tailored to this type of product to calculate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also consider the impact of these proposals on small-scale businesses as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to identify those that may be disproportionately affected.

DOE will also examine whether the test procedure for microwave ovens has to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption as well as an integrated microwave oven energy use measure. Currently, the test protocols only address standby mode power use.

Design

Wall ovens depend on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves use waves to cause water molecules in food items to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall ovens blend these two different appliances into one unit that can be used to save kitchen space and gives a sleek, modern aesthetic. However, you must carefully think about your needs and budget before investing in a combo wall oven. A few of the combo wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
