A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo incorporates your wall oven and your microwave into one unit. They can free up space on your counters and give your kitchen a stylish appearance.
These models have powerful broilers that cook evenly, and their microwaves cook food quickly. They offer a wide range of options to cook various dishes.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. It is a combination of the convenience of a microwavable with the versatility of wall ovens. Explore our entire range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the perfect suitable one for your home. Be sure to check the cutout specifications for the appliance you choose and follow the installation guide to be sure it is suitable for your space. Our microwave & oven combinations include both microwave and oven models with a variety of colors, styles and finishes that can be incorporated into any decor. Also, look for features like modern and efficient digital controls, a power-cook function and built in self-cleaning options that will help you reduce time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combination can save space on your kitchen counters and give a stylish appearance to your kitchen. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food, and pre-packaged foods. It also eliminates the need for an additional countertop appliance or bulky stand-alone wall oven. If you want to upgrade your home without the need for major renovations the combination microwave oven is a great choice.
There are microwave ovens that come in a variety of designs to fit the decor of your kitchen. Some microwave oven combos feature doors that swing out right to left and others have drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. There is also combination microwave oven built-in with a drawer style that opens in the same way as cabinets. The microwave drawers can be easily reached and are ideal for small spaces.
Combination microwaves also come with various features to aid in meal preparation and more convenient. For example, some models come with sensors that allow you to steam your food and automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure you receive perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil element that lets you quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that lets you grill, bake and crisp foods.
When choosing a microwave combination, make sure to think about how often you'll be using each function. If microwave and oven built in combo will be using the oven more often than the micro, you might be better off buying a double wall-oven. A combo appliance is smaller in capacity than a standalone oven.
After you've selected an oven and microwave combination to meet your needs, you should think about the installation process. Over-the-range models are positioned over the stovetop or cooktop and connect to the power outlet. Built-in microwaves are inserted into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that allow you to seamlessly integrate your new microwave into your existing kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combo can provide a great space saving option for those with smaller kitchens, whether they live in a home or apartment. They can free up the space that would be taken up by separate appliances, and also reduce energy consumption. 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 both warm and hot dishes, which reduces the necessity for additional appliances such as toasters or warming plates.
When evaluating potential amended energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses which include market and technology assessment, screening analysis, engineering analysis, and national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will use its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine what degree of efficiency improvements are feasible for this particular product.
In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave to an energy performance set of objectives. 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, including cost savings throughout the lifecycle and simple payback period (PBP). DOE will use the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens, to calculate the industry net present value (NPV).
The impact of manufacturers will be assessed as well and DOE will use a modified version of its Industry Cash Flow model adapted to this particular product type to estimate manufacturing NPV. In addition, DOE will consider the potential impact on small business manufacturers and other subgroups of manufacturers to identify any that may be disproportionally affected by these proposals.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be revised to include active mode power consumption as well as a possible integrated energy use measurement. Currently, the test procedures only deal with the standby mode power usage.
Design
Microwaves create heat through the process of causing water molecules to 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 two very different appliances into a single unit that can be used to save kitchen space and provides an elegant, modern look. You should carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. Several of the combination wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
