A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built in microwave oven combo offers the best of both worlds by making your wall oven and microwave into one appliance. They can free up space on your counters and give your kitchen a stylish look.
These models are equipped with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. The microwaves can also heat food quickly. They offer a wide range of options to cook various food items.
Size
Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the versatility of wall ovens, a built in microwave and wall oven combo is an efficient solution for kitchens of all kinds. Browse our selection of combination wall ovens and microwaves to find the perfect fit for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation guide for the model you select to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave and wall oven models include microwave and wall oven models that are available in a variety of styles, colors, and finishes to complement any style. Also, look for features like smart and convenient digital controls, a power-cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options to help save time.
Convenience
A microwave oven with built-in features will save you counter space and give your kitchen a sleeker look. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food, and packaged food items. It can eliminate the necessity for separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. If you are looking to upgrade your home without having to do major renovations, a combination microwave oven is a great option.
There are microwave ovens that come in a variety of styles to match your kitchen decor. Some microwave oven combos have doors that swing out right to left or drop-down designs that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also find microwave ovens with the drawer design that opens like a cabinet. Microwave drawers are easy to reach and are ideal for smaller spaces where you want to avoid taking up valuable counter space.
Combination microwaves can also offer various features that assist in making meal preparation easier and more practical. For example, some models have a sensor steam cycle that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure that you receive perfectly steamed veggies and fish. Other features include a broil feature that lets you quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that can grill, bake and crisp foods.
Think about how often you'll make use of each feature when choosing a microwave-oven combination. If you'll be using the oven part of your combo more frequently than the microwave, you may be better off with an oven with two walls instead. It's also important to remember that a combo oven typically has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.
After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combo for your requirements, you need to think about the installation. Over- integrated combination microwave mount over your cooktop or stove and plug into an electrical outlet, while built-in microwaves are inserted directly into the cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that allow you to effortlessly integrate your new microwave into your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combo can provide an ideal space-saving solution for those with smaller kitchens, whether they are in a house or an apartment. They can save space in cabinets that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and can also cut down on 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 hot and cold dishes, reducing the necessity for additional appliances such as toasters or warming plates.
DOE conducts various analyses when evaluating possible amended 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 technologically feasible for this particular product class.
DOE will evaluate the design of a microwave with a set energy performance objectives 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 every product category, including lifecycle cost savings as well as simple payback periods ("PBP"). DOE will utilize the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for ovens that can be microwaved, to determine the industry's net present value (NPV).
DOE will also evaluate the effects on manufacturers and will use a modified industry cash flow model that is specifically tailored to this type of product to calculate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impacts on small business manufacturers and other subgroups of manufacturers to identify any that may be disproportionately affected by these proposals.
In addition, DOE will consider whether the tests for microwave ovens need to be updated to include active mode energy use as well as a possible integrated active mode energy use metric. The current tests only cover standby mode power consumption.
built in microwaves generate heat by 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 blend these two different appliances into one unit that saves kitchen space and gives a sleek, modern aesthetic. You should carefully think about your budget and needs before deciding on a combination wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we rated have design or performance issues.
