A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A microwave oven with built-in features can combine your wall oven and your microwave into one appliance. They can help free space on your countertops and provide your kitchen with a sleek aesthetic.

These models come with powerful broilers that cook evenly and microwaves that heat food quickly. These models have a variety of cooking options for different dishes.

Size

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the versatility of an oven on a wall with a built in double oven with microwave-in microwave and wall oven combination is a great solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Explore our collection of combination wall ovens and microwaves to find the best fit for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and the installation guide for the model you select to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave & oven combinations include both oven and microwave models in a variety colors, styles and finishes that can be incorporated into any decor. Look for features such as easy and efficient controls and a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning feature to cut down on time.

Convenience

A white built in microwave in microwave oven combination can save counter space in your kitchen and provide a modern appearance to your kitchen. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food items, and packaged food items. It also eliminates the need for an additional countertop appliance or a the bulky wall oven that is a stand-alone unit. If you are looking to upgrade your home without having to do major remodeling the combination microwave oven is a great option.

Microwave oven combos are available in different styles to suit the decor of your kitchen. Some microwave oven combos feature doors that swing open from right to left or drop-down designs that open in the same way as traditional ovens. You can also get an oven and microwave that opens inside a drawer, like cabinets. The 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 provide various features to assist in making meal preparation easier and more efficient. Some models feature the option of a sensor steam mode that adjusts the temperature and time of your food in order to ensure that you get perfectly steamed vegetables and fish. Other features include a broil feature that lets you quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish and Crispwave(tm) technology that can grill, bake and crisp foods.

Consider how often you'll use each feature when choosing the microwave oven combination. If you'll use the oven component of your combo more frequently than the microwave, you might prefer a double wall oven. It's also important to note that a combination appliance generally has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.

When you've chosen a microwave and built in microwave oven combo oven combo to satisfy your needs, think about the installation procedure. Over-the-range models are installed over the stovetop or cooktop, and plug into the power outlet. built in microwave and oven combo-in microwaves are installed on walls or cabinets in your kitchen. Some models include trim kits to make your microwave match the cabinets you already have.

Energy Efficiency

Built-in microwave oven combos are a great choice for those who have smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can save cabinet space that would otherwise be occupied by two separate appliances, and they also can help reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and offer an efficient method to cook. They can also be used to cook food and warm meals. This reduces the requirement for built in microwave oven combo other appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.

When evaluating potential amended energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses that 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 technologically feasible for this product type.

In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave to a set of energy performance 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 the 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 the industry's net present value ("NPV").

DOE will also assess the impact on manufacturers and will use an altered industry cash flow model modified to fit this particular product in order to estimate manufacturing NPV. In addition, DOE will consider the potential impacts on small integrated microwave business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to determine if they could be disproportionally affected by these proposals.

Additionally, DOE will consider whether the testing procedures for microwave ovens need to be updated to include active mode energy usage and an integrated active mode energy use metric. Currently, the test protocols only cover the use of standby mode power.

Design

Microwaves create 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 blend these two distinct appliances into a single unit that saves kitchen space and offers sleek, modern design. However, it is important to think about your needs and budget before deciding to purchase a combination wall oven. Some of the ovens we rated have performance or design issues.
