A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo offers the best of both worlds by making your wall oven and microwave into one appliance. They can save space on your counters and give your kitchen an elegant appearance.
These models have powerful broilers that cook evenly, and their microwaves heat food quickly. They also have a wide selection of cooking options various meals.
Size
Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the versatility of wall ovens with a built-in microwave and wall oven combo is an efficient solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Browse our selection of combination wall ovens and microwaves to find the perfect fit for your home. Be sure to check the cutout specifications of the appliance you choose and follow the installation guide to be sure it is suitable for your space. Our microwave & wall oven combinations feature both microwave and wall oven models that come in a variety of styles, colors and finishes to complement any decor. Look for features like smart and convenient controls, a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning feature to cut down on time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combination can save space on kitchen counters and give a stylish look to your space. Because it functions as a microwave and traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen meals and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It also eliminates the need for an additional countertop appliance or a large wall ovens that are stand-alone. If you want to upgrade your home without the need for major remodeling, a combination microwave oven is a great choice.
There are microwave oven combos in a variety of designs to fit your kitchen's decor. 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. There is also a microwave oven combo with an open-type drawer that opens in the same way as cabinets. The microwave drawers are easy to reach and are ideal for smaller spaces where you want to minimize the use of counter space.
Combination microwaves can also provide various features to assist in making meal preparation easier and more convenient. Some models have a sensor steam mode that adjusts the temperature and duration of your food automatically to ensure you get perfectly steamed vegetables and fish. Other features include the broil element which lets you quickly melt cheese and brown your favorite dish. Crispwave(tm) is meanwhile can cook, grill, and crisp food items.
Think about how often you'll use each feature when choosing a microwave oven combo. If you'll be using the oven more frequently than the micro, you may prefer an oven that doubles as a wall. It's also important to note that a combo oven typically has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.
After you've selected a microwave and oven combo to meet your needs, consider the installation procedure. Over- built in microwave oven black mount over your cooktop or stove and plug into an electrical outlet, whereas built-in microwaves can be plugged directly into cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Certain models include trim kits to make your microwave match the cabinets you already have.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combo can provide an ideal space-saving solution for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they live in a home or apartment. They can save on cabinet space that would normally be taken up by two separate appliances and they can also help to reduce energy consumption. They usually provide the most 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 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 assessments of technology and market screening analyses, engineering analyses and national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will utilize its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine what degree of efficiency improvements are technologically feasible for this particular product.
DOE will compare the design of a microwave to an energy performance objective that is specified 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, including the cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the simple payback period (PBP). DOE will use 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 employ a modified industry cash flow model specifically tailored to this type of product in order to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the effects of these proposals on small businesses and other subgroups of manufacturers to identify those that may be disproportionately affected.
In addition, DOE will consider whether the tests for microwave ovens need to be updated to include active mode energy use as well as an integrated active mode energy use measurement. Currently, test procedures only cover standby mode power consumption.
Design
Wall ovens rely on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves make use of waves to cause water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall units blend these two appliances into one unit, reducing space in the kitchen and offering a sleek modern aesthetic. It is important to think about your budget and needs before purchasing a combination wall oven. A few of the combo wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
