A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A built-in microwave oven combo gives you the best of both worlds by making your microwave and wall oven into one unit. They can free up counter space and give your kitchen an elegant look.

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

Size

A built-in built microwave oven microwave and wall oven combo is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. It offers the convenience of a microwavable with the flexibility of wall ovens. Explore our collection of wall ovens that combine with microwaves to find the ideal fit for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the model you select to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave & wall oven combos include both wall oven and microwave models that are available in a variety of styles, colors, and finishes to complement any style. Look for features like simple and easy controls, a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning feature to help you save time.

Convenience

A built-in microwave oven combo can free up space on kitchen counters and add a sleek look to your space. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food items, and packaged food items. It removes the necessity for separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. A combination microwave oven could also be a good option when you are looking to improve your kitchen without undergoing any major remodeling projects.

Microwave oven combos can be found in many different styles to match your kitchen decor. Some microwave oven combos have doors that swing out right to left and others have drop-down designs that open the same way as traditional ovens. There is also a microwave oven combo with the drawer design that opens as cabinets. The microwave drawers are easy to reach and are ideal for smaller spaces where you want to minimize the use of counter space.

Combination microwaves can also offer various features that help make meal prep easier and more convenient. Some models have the option of a sensor steam mode that adjusts the temperature and duration of your food automatically to ensure perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil feature that lets you quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that lets you grill food items, bake and crisp them.

Think about how often you'll utilize each feature before deciding on a microwave-oven combination. If you'll be using the oven more frequently than the microwave, you may prefer a double wall-oven. A combo oven has less capacity than an individual oven.

Once you've selected the best built-in combination microwave oven microwave and oven combination for your requirements, you need to think about how you will install it. Over-the range models are mounted over your cooktop or stove and connect to an electrical outlet. Built-in microwaves are installed into cabinets or walls in your kitchen. Certain models include trim kits to make your stainless steel integrated microwave match your cabinets.

Energy Efficiency

Built-in microwave ovens are a great choice for those with smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can save the space in cabinets that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and can also help reduce energy consumption. They usually provide an efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, because they use less energy. In addition, they can be used to cook both hot and cold dishes, which reduces the requirement for additional appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.

When evaluating possible amendments to energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses, including assessment of technology and market, screening analysis, engineering analysis and national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will use its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine what level of efficiency improvements are technologically feasible for this product type.

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

DOE will also evaluate the impact on manufacturers and will use an altered industry cash flow model specifically tailored to this type of product in order to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the effects of these proposals on small businesses and other manufacturing subgroups to determine those who could be most affected.

Additionally, DOE will consider whether the test procedures for microwave ovens need to be revised to include active mode energy usage and an active mode energy use measurement. At present, the test procedures only cover standby mode power consumption.

Design

Microwaves create heat by causing water molecules vibrate in food. Wall ovens are based on the circulation of hot air while microwaves depend on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into one unit, reducing space in the kitchen while providing a modern and sleek design. But you need to carefully think about your needs and budget before investing in a combo wall oven. Some of the ovens we rated have design or performance issues.
