A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A microwave oven with built-in features combines your wall oven with your microwave into a single appliance. They can help you save space on your counters and give your kitchen an elegant look.

These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly, and microwaves that heat food quickly. They offer a wide range of options to cook different foods.

Size

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the flexibility of an oven on a wall and a built-in microwave and wall oven combination is an efficient solution for many kitchens. Explore our collection of combination wall ovens and microwaves to find the best integrated Microwave Oven fit for your home. Be sure to check the cutout specifications for your selected model and the installation guide to make sure it will fit in your space. Our microwave and oven combos include both oven and microwave models with a variety of colors, styles and finishes that will complement 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 that will help you save time.

Convenience

A microwave oven with built-in built microwave oven features can save space on your counters and make your kitchen appear more modern look. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food items, and pre-packaged foods. It eliminates the need for separate appliances for the countertop or large wall ovens. If you are looking to upgrade your home without having to undertake major changes the combination microwave oven is a great option.

Microwave oven combos are available in different styles to fit your kitchen's decor. Some have a left-to-right swing-out door, whereas others feature a drop-down design that opens the same way as an oven that is traditional. You can also find microwave ovens that have an open-type drawer that opens as cabinets. The microwave drawers are easy to reach and are great for small spaces where you want to avoid taking up valuable counter space.

Combination microwaves also come with various features that make meal preparation easier and more efficient. For example, some models come with sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure that you get perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil feature that lets you quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food and Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill or bake food and make it crisp.

Consider how often you will utilize each feature before deciding on the microwave oven combination. If you'll use the oven part of your combo more frequently than the microwave, you might be better off with a double wall oven instead. It's important to keep in mind that a combination appliance generally has less capacity than a conventional standalone oven.

After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination that meets 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 a power outlet. Built-in microwaves are inserted into cabinets or walls in your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that let you seamlessly match your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.

Energy Efficiency

A built in microwave black-in microwave oven combo can provide an ideal space-saving solution for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they live in a home or an apartment. They can help save on cabinet space that would normally be taken up by two separate appliances. Additionally, they can also help to reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and provide an efficient method to cook. They can also be used to cook food or warm food items. This reduces the necessity for [empty] other appliances such as toasters or warming plates.

When evaluating possible amendments to energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses which include assessment of technology and market conditions screening analysis, engineering analysis, and a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will utilize its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine what degree of efficiency improvements are technologically possible for this product category.

DOE will evaluate the design of a microwave to 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 [Redirect Only] 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 over the lifecycle, as well as the simple payback time (PBP). DOE will utilize its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").

The impact of manufacturers will be assessed as well, and DOE will use an updated version of its Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified to this particular product type to calculate the manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the effects of these proposals on small businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to determine those who could be most affected.

In addition, DOE will consider whether the testing procedures for microwave oven builtin ovens must be updated to include active mode energy usage and an integrated active mode energy use measure. The current test procedures only address the use of standby mode power.

Design

Microwaves create 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 combine two different appliances into a single unit that can be used to save kitchen space and offers sleek, modern design. However, you must carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. A few of the combo wall ovens that we've rated have issues with performance or design.
