A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A built in microwave oven combo gives you the best of both worlds by combining your microwave and wall integrated double oven and microwave into one unit. They can help free up space on your countertops and give your kitchen a modern aesthetic.

These models have powerful broilers that cook evenly, and their microwaves heat food quickly. They also offer a wide variety of cooking options to cook various foods.

Size

A built in oven and microwave-in microwave and wall oven combination is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. It is a combination of the convenience of a microwavable with the versatility of wall ovens. Explore our range of wall ovens that combine with 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 it works in your space. Our microwave and oven sets include microwave and oven models with a variety of colors, styles and finishes that will match any decor. Also, look for features such as smart and convenient digital controls, a power cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options to help you reduce time.

Convenience

A built-in microwave oven combo can save space on kitchen counters and provide a modern design to your space. Because it functions as a microwave and traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen food items and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It also eliminates the requirement for a separate countertop appliance or the bulky wall oven that is a stand-alone unit. A microwave-microwave combination can also be a good choice for those who want to modernize your kitchen without having to undergo any major renovations.

There are microwave ovens that come in a variety of styles to match your kitchen decor. Some have a right-to-left swing-out door, while others feature a drop-down style that opens in the same manner as an ordinary oven. There is also a microwave oven combo with an open-type drawer that opens in the same way as a cabinet. The microwave drawers can be easily accessible and are perfect for small spaces.

Combination microwaves also have many features that can simplify meal preparation and make it more efficient. For instance, certain models have sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure that you get perfectly steamed veggies and fish. Other features include the broil feature, that allows you to swiftly melt cheese and cook your favorite food. Crispwave(tm), meanwhile, can cook, grill, and crisp food items.

Consider how often you will utilize each feature before deciding on a microwave in built-oven combination. If you'll be using the oven more frequently than the microwave, you may prefer an extra wall oven. It's also important to note that a combo oven typically has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.

When you've chosen an oven and microwave combination to meet your needs, you should think about the installation procedure. Over-the-range models mount over the stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, whereas built-in microwaves can be plugged directly into the cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that let you seamlessly match your new microwave with your existing kitchen cabinets.

Energy Efficiency

Built-in microwave oven builtin oven combos are a great option for those with smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can free up the space in cabinets that would be taken up by separate appliances, and can also reduce energy consumption. They typically offer a more 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, reducing the requirement for additional appliances such as toasters or warming plates.

DOE conducts various analyses when evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards. These include market and technology assessments screening analyses, engineering analyses and a national impact assessment (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will draw on its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the level 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, such as the lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback period (PBP). DOE will employ its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").

DOE will also assess the effects on manufacturers and will employ an industry-specific cash flow model modified to fit this particular product in order to estimate manufacturing NPV. In addition, Built in Microwave Oven Combo DOE will consider the potential impact on small business manufacturers as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to determine if they could be affected in a different way by these proposals.

DOE will also examine whether the test procedure for microwave ovens requires to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption as well as an energy use metric. Currently, Built in Microwave Oven Combo test procedures only cover standby mode power consumption.

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 different appliances into one unit that saves kitchen space and offers an elegant, modern look. However, you must carefully think about your needs and budget before purchasing a combination wall oven. Several of the combination wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
