A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A built-in microwave and oven integrated oven combo can combine your wall oven and your microwave into one appliance. They can save space on your counters and give your kitchen a stylish look.

These models have powerful broilers that cook evenly and microwaves that heat food quickly. They also have a wide range of options for cooking various meals.

Size

A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a perfect solution for kitchens with a variety of. It is a combination of the convenience of a microwave with the flexibility of wall ovens. Browse our selection of combination wall ovens and microwaves to find the perfect fit for your home. Be sure to read the cutout specifications and the installation guide for your chosen unit to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave & oven combinations include microwave and oven models in a variety colors, styles and finishes that can be incorporated into any decor. Also, look out for features like smart and convenient digital controls, a power-cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options to help you reduce time.

Convenience

A built in microwave and grill built in oven combination can save space on kitchen counters and provide a modern design to your space. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food items, and packaged food items. It can eliminate the need for separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. If you are looking to upgrade your home without the need for major changes the combination microwave oven is a great option.

Microwave ovens are available in a variety of different styles to suit your kitchen decor. Some come with a swing-out right-to-left door, whereas others feature a drop-down design that opens in the same manner as an oven that is traditional. There is also microwave ovens that have an open-type drawer that opens like an open cabinet. Microwave drawers are simple to reach and are great for smaller spaces where you want to minimize the use of counter space.

Combination microwaves are also equipped with many features that help you prepare your meals faster and more convenient. Some models have the option of a sensor steam mode that alters the temperature and time of your food automatically to ensure perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil element which allows you to quickly melt cheese and brown your favorite dish. Crispwave(tm) in turn can grill, bake and crisp food items.

Consider how often you'll use each feature when choosing a microwave oven combo. If you'll use the oven more often than the micro, you might be better off buying an extra wall oven. It's also important to note that a combo appliance typically has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.

When you've chosen an oven and microwave combination to satisfy your needs, think about the installation procedure. Over-the-range models mount over your stove or cooktop and connect to an electrical outlet, while built microwave oven combo-in microwaves can be plugged directly into the cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that let you seamlessly match your new microwave with the cabinets in your kitchen.

Energy Efficiency

Built-in Oven and microwave microwave oven combos are a great choice for those with smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can save on cabinet space that would normally be occupied by two separate appliances and they can also help to reduce energy usage. They typically offer an efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, because they use less energy. In addition, they can be used to cook both food and warm dishes, eliminating the need for additional appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.

DOE conducts various analyses when evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards. These include assessments of technology and market, screening analyses, engineering analyses and national impact analysis (NIA). For this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its existing engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the maximum level of efficiency improvements that are technically feasible for this particular product class.

DOE will evaluate the design of a microwave to the energy performance goals set 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 every product category, including lifecycle cost savings and simple payback period ("PBP"). DOE will use its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").

DOE will also evaluate the impacts on manufacturers, and will employ a modified industry cash flow model that is modified to fit this particular product to calculate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also consider the effects of these proposals on small-scale businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to determine those who are likely to be affected.

DOE will also examine whether the test procedure for microwave ovens has to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption and an energy use measure. At present, the test procedures only include standby mode power consumption.

Design

Wall ovens are based on the circulation of hot air evenly while microwaves rely on waves to cause the water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall ovens combine two distinct appliances into one unit that helps save kitchen space and provides an elegant, modern look. But you need to carefully think about your needs and budget before investing in a combo wall oven. Many of the combination wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
