A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A built in microwave over oven-in microwave oven combo gives you the best of both worlds by combining your wall oven and microwave into one device. They can free up space on your counters and give your kitchen an elegant appearance.

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

Size

A 25 litre built in microwave-in microwave and wall oven combo is a fantastic solution for kitchens of all kinds. It combines the convenience of a microwave with the flexibility of wall ovens. Explore our collection of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the ideal fit for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation guide for the appliance you choose to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave and oven sets include both microwave and oven models with a variety of designs, colors and styles that will match any decor. Look for features like smart and convenient controls as well as a power cook feature and a built in microwaves-in self-cleaning system to save you time.

Convenience

A built in microwave oven combo can save counter space in your kitchen and add a sleek design to your space. Since it functions as a microwave and a traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen foods and pre-packaged meals all in one appliance. It can eliminate the necessity for separate appliances for the countertop or large wall ovens. If you want to upgrade your home without the need for major remodeling, a combination microwave oven is a great option.

You can find microwave ovens that come in a variety of styles to match your kitchen decor. Certain microwave oven combos come with a swing-out right-to-left door and others have drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also get a microwave-oven combo that opens in a drawer, similar to cabinets. Microwave drawers are simple to reach and are ideal for small spaces where you want to minimize the use of counter space.

Combination microwaves are also equipped with various features that can simplify meal preparation and make it more convenient. For instance, some models have sensors that allow you to steam your food and automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure you receive perfectly steamed veggies and fish. Other features include the broil element which lets you quickly melt cheese and brown your favorite food. Crispwave(tm) in turn, can cook, Built in Microwave Oven Combo grill, and Built in Microwave Oven Combo crisp food.

When selecting a microwave oven combination, make sure to take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll be using the oven part of your combo more frequently than the microwave, you might be better off using a double wall oven instead. A combo oven has a smaller capacity than a standalone oven.

After you've chosen the right microwave and oven combination for your requirements, you need to think about the installation. Over-the range models are mounted over the stovetop or cooktop and connected to an electrical outlet. Built-in microwaves can be incorporated into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models have trim kits that ensure that your new microwave is in line with the cabinets you already have.

Energy Efficiency

A built in oven and microwave-in microwave oven combo can provide an ideal space-saving solution for those with smaller kitchens, whether they live in a home or apartment. They can help save space in cabinets which would otherwise be taken by separate appliances, and also cut down on energy usage. They usually provide a more efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens because they use less energy. They can also be used to cook food and warm dishes. This means that there is less requirement for other appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.

DOE performs several analyses when evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards. These include technology and market assessments screening analyses, engineering analyses and a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will draw on its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvements are technologically feasible for this particular product.

DOE will compare the microwave's design 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 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 effects on consumers, including the cost savings throughout the lifecycle and simple payback period (PBP). DOE will employ 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 also, and DOE will employ an updated version of its Industry Cash Flow model adapted to this particular product type to calculate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impacts on small business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to identify any that could be disproportionally affected by these proposals.

DOE will also look into whether the test procedure for microwave ovens has to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption and an integrated energy use measurement. The current test procedures only deal with the use of standby mode power.

Design

Microwaves create heat through the process of causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens rely upon the circulation of hot air while microwaves depend on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall ovens combine these two very different appliances into one unit that saves kitchen space and gives sleek, modern design. However, you must carefully consider your goals and budget before investing in a combo wall oven. Some of the ovens we evaluated have performance or design issues.
