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 a single appliance. They can help free space on your counters and give your kitchen a sleek style.
These models have powerful broilers that cook evenly and microwaves that heat food quickly. These models offer a range of options to cook various food items.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a fantastic solution for many kitchens. It is a combination of the convenience of a microwavable with the flexibility of wall ovens. Explore our entire selection of combination microwaves and wall ovens to find the best option for your home. Be sure to read the cutout specifications and the installation guide for your chosen unit to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave and wall oven combos include both microwave and wall oven models that are available in a range of styles, colors, and finishes to complement any style. Look for features like easy and efficient controls as well as a power cook feature, and built-in self-cleaning to save you time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combo will save you counter space and give your kitchen a sleeker look. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food, and pre-packaged foods. It also eliminates the requirement for a separate countertop appliance or bulky stand-alone wall oven. If you're looking to improve your home without having to undertake major changes, a microwave and a convection oven is a great choice.
Microwave oven combos are available in a variety of different styles to match your kitchen decor. Some microwave oven combos feature a swing-out right-to-left door, while others are drop-down designs that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also find a microwave oven combo with an open-type drawer that opens like a cabinet. The microwave drawers can be easily reached and are great for small spaces.
Combination microwaves also have a variety of features that can simplify meal preparation and make it more convenient. For instance, some models come with sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure you receive perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil feature, which allows you to quickly melt cheese and cook your favorite dish. built in double oven and microwave (tm) is meanwhile, can grill, bake and crisp food.
When choosing a microwave combination, make sure to take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll use the oven component of your combination more often than the microwave, you may be better off using a double wall oven instead. It's also important to remember that a combo appliance typically has less capacity than a conventional standalone oven.
After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination for your needs, it's time to think about the installation. Over-the-range models can be positioned over your stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, while built in microwaves are installed directly into the cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that let you effortlessly blend your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combination can be an ideal space-saving solution for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they reside in a house or an apartment. They can help save cabinet space that would normally be occupied by two separate appliances and they can also help to reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and provide a more efficient way to cook. Additionally, they can usually be used to cook both warm and hot dishes, reducing the need for additional appliances such as toasters or warming plates.
When evaluating possible amendments to energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses which include market and technology assessment screening analysis, engineering analysis and national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will draw on its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine what degree of efficiency improvements are feasible for this product type.
In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave with a set of energy performance goals. 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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the impact on consumers of each product class, including lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback time ("PBP"). DOE will use its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").
DOE will also examine the impacts on manufacturers, and will employ a modified industry cash flow model modified to fit this particular product to estimate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small business manufacturers and other subgroups of manufacturers to determine if they could be disproportionately affected by these proposals.
In addition, DOE will consider whether the tests for microwave ovens must be updated to include active mode energy use as well as an integrated active mode energy use measurement. Currently, test procedures only provide standby mode power usage.
Design
Wall ovens rely on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves use waves to cause water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into one unit, which is ideal for securing space in the kitchen and offering a sleek modern aesthetic. You should carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before investing in a combination wall oven. A few of the combo wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
