A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built in microwave oven combo gives you the best of both worlds by connecting your wall oven and microwave into one device. They can help free space on your counters and give your kitchen a modern design.
These models come with powerful broilers that cook food evenly. They also allow food to be cooked quickly. These models have a variety of cooking options for different food items.
Size
Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the versatility of wall ovens with a built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a practical solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Browse our selection of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the ideal fit for your home. Be sure to check the cutout specifications for your chosen unit and the installation guide to make sure it is suitable for your space. Our microwave and oven sets include both microwave and oven models with a variety of designs, colors and styles that can be incorporated into any decor. Also, look for features like modern and efficient electronic controls, a power-cook function, and built-in self-cleaning options that will help you reduce time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combo can save space on kitchen counters and add a sleek appearance to your kitchen. Since it functions as a microwave and a traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen meals and pre-packaged meals all in one appliance. It can also eliminate the need for an additional countertop appliance or a bulky stand-alone wall oven. If you're looking to improve your home without having to undertake major remodeling, a combination microwave oven is a great option.
There are microwave ovens in various styles to match the decor of your kitchen. Certain microwave oven combos come with a swing-out right-to-left door or drop-down designs that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also find a microwave oven combo with the drawer design that opens as a cabinet. Microwave drawers can be easily accessible and are perfect for small spaces.
built in microwave for wall unit can also provide various features that aid in meal preparation and more convenient. For instance, certain models come with a sensor steam cycle that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure that you receive perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil element that allows you to swiftly melt cheese and cook your favorite food. Crispwave(tm) in turn, can grill, bake, and 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 component of your combo more than the microwave, you may be better off using a double wall oven. A combo oven is smaller in capacity than an oven that is a standalone unit.
Once you've decided on a microwave and oven combo to meet your needs, you should think about the installation process. Over-the-range models can be positioned over your stove or cooktop and connect to an electrical outlet, while built-in microwaves are inserted directly into the cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Certain models include trim kits to make your microwave match your cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave oven combos are a great option for those with smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can save the space in cabinets that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and also help reduce energy consumption. They typically offer the most efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, because they use less energy. They can also be used to cook food or warm food items. This reduces the necessity for other 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). For this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the best level of efficiency improvements that are technologically feasible for this product class.
DOE will compare the design of a microwave with 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 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").
Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated also, and DOE will employ a modified version of its Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified to this particular product type to calculate the manufacturing NPV. Finally, DOE will consider the potential impacts on small business manufacturers and other subgroups of manufacturers to determine if they could be disproportionately affected by these proposals.
DOE will also look into whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption as well as a possible integrated energy use measurement. The current test procedures only deal with the standby mode power usage.
Design
Wall ovens rely on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall ovens blend 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 purchasing a combination wall oven. Many of the combination wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
