A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo offers the best of both worlds by combining your microwave and wall oven into one unit. They can free space on your countertops and give your kitchen a sleek design.
These models are equipped with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. Their microwaves also have the ability to heat food quickly. These models have a variety of options to cook different food items.
Size
Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the versatility of an oven on a wall with a built-in microwave and wall oven is a practical solution for many kitchens. Explore our complete range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the right option for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the model you select to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave & oven combinations include microwave and oven models that come in a variety of colors, styles and finishes that will complement any decor. Look for features such as easy and efficient controls as well as a power cook feature and a built-in self-cleaning feature to cut down on time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combination can save counter space in your kitchen and provide a modern design to your space. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food items, and packaged food items. It eliminates the need for separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. A combination microwave oven could also be a good choice for those who want to modernize your kitchen without having to undergo any major renovations.
Microwave ovens are available in a variety of different styles to match the decor of your kitchen. Some have a right-to-left swing-out door, whereas others feature a drop-down style that opens in the same manner as an ordinary oven. You can also find microwave ovens that have an open-type drawer that opens like a cabinet. Microwave drawers are simple to reach and are ideal for smaller spaces where you want to keep your microwave from taking up valuable counter space.
Combination microwaves also come with a range of features to help make meal prep easier and more convenient. Some models feature the option of a sensor steam mode that alters the temperature and time of your food automatically to ensure that you get perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil element that lets you quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that lets you grill or bake food and make it crisp.
When choosing a microwave combination, be sure to consider how often you'll use each function. If you'll be using the oven more often than the microwave, you may be better off buying a double wall-oven. A combo appliance is smaller in capacity than a standalone oven.
After you've chosen the right microwave and oven combination for your needs, it's time to consider the installation. Over-the range models are mounted over your cooktop or stove and connected to a power outlet. Built-in microwaves can be incorporated on walls or cabinets in your kitchen. Certain models come with trim kits to ensure that your new microwave is in line with your existing cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built in microwave oven combination can be an ideal space-saving solution for those with smaller kitchens, whether they reside in a house or an apartment. They can save the space that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and also cut down on energy usage. They generally provide a more efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, as they tend to use less energy. They can also be used to cook food or warm meals. This eliminates the necessity for other 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 conditions screening analysis, engineering analysis and a national impact analysis (NIA). For this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the maximum level of improvements in efficiency that are technically feasible for this product class.
stoves integrated microwave will assess 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 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 cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the 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").
Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated also as the impact on manufacturers will be evaluated. DOE will use a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model, which has been adapted for this product type to calculate the manufacturing NPV. DOE will also consider the impact of these proposals on small-scale businesses as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to identify those who are likely to be affected.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens requires to be revised to include active mode power consumption and an energy use measurement. Currently, the test procedures only deal with the use of standby mode power.
Design
Microwaves generate heat through the process of causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens rely upon the circulation of hot air, while microwaves rely on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall units blend these two appliances into one unit, reducing space in the kitchen while offering a sleek modern aesthetic. However, it is important to consider your goals and budget before deciding to purchase a combination wall oven. A few of the combo wall ovens that we've rated have issues with performance or design.
