A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A Built-in Oven and microwave microwave oven combo gives you the best of both worlds by combining your microwave and oven into one appliance. They can save counter space and give your kitchen a classy appearance.

These models come with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. The microwaves can also have the ability to heat food quickly. They also offer a wide selection of cooking options various foods.

Size

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the versatility of wall ovens with a built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a great solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Explore our collection of wall ovens that combine with microwaves to find the perfect one for your home. Be sure to read the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the appliance you choose to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave & oven combinations include both microwave and oven models in a variety styles, colors and finishes that will match any decor. Also, look out for features like intelligent and easy-to-use digital controls, a power cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options to help you reduce time.

Convenience

A built-in microwave oven can save counter space and give your kitchen a sleeker look. Since it functions as a microwave and traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen meals and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It can also eliminate the need for a separate countertop appliance or the bulky wall oven that is a stand-alone unit. A microwave-Microwave Oven Built-in combination can also be a good choice if you want to upgrade your kitchen without having to undergo any major remodeling projects.

You can find microwave oven combos in various designs to fit the decor of your kitchen. Certain microwave oven combos come with doors that swing out right to left or drop-down designs that open the same way as traditional ovens. There is also a microwave-oven combo that opens in a drawer, like a cabinet. Microwave drawers are simple to reach and are perfect for smaller spaces where you want to minimize the use of counter space.

Combination microwaves can also offer various features to help make meal prep easier and more efficient. Some models feature sensors that allow you to steam your food. This feature alters the temperature and time of your food automatically to ensure that you get perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil element that lets you quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food and Crispwave(tm) technology that lets you grill or bake food and make it crisp.

When selecting a microwave oven combination, make sure to take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you will be using the oven more often than the micro, you may prefer a double wall-oven. It's important to keep in mind that a combo appliance typically has less capacity than a conventional standalone oven.

Once you've decided on a microwave and oven combo to meet your needs, you should think about the installation process. Over-the range models are mounted over your cooktop or stove and connect to the power outlet. Built-in built microwave microwaves are inserted on walls or cabinets in your kitchen. Certain models come with trim kits to ensure that your new microwave is in line with your existing cabinets.

Energy Efficiency

A built in microwave oven combo is a great space saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they reside in a house or an apartment. They can save cabinet space that would normally be taken up by two separate appliances and they can also help reduce energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and provide a more efficient way to cook. In addition, they can be used to cook hot and cold dishes, reducing the need for additional appliances such as toasters or warming plates.

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

DOE will compare 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 impact on consumers of each product category, including lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback periods ("PBP"). DOE will employ its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").

The impact on manufacturers will be evaluated also as the impact on manufacturers will be evaluated. DOE will use an updated version of its Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified to this particular product type to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the impacts of these plans on small businesses and other manufacturing subgroups to identify those who could be most affected.

DOE will also look into whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption and a possible integrated combination microwave energy use measure. Currently, test procedures only provide standby mode power usage.

Design

Microwaves produce heat by causing water molecules vibrate in food. Wall ovens depend on the circulation of hot air while microwaves depend on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall ovens combine these two very different appliances into one unit that saves kitchen space and provides sleek, modern design. You must carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before purchasing a combination microwave oven built-in wall oven. Several of the combination wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
