A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A microwave oven that is built-in combines your wall oven with your microwave into a single appliance. They can help free space on your counters and give your kitchen a modern design.
These models come with powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves cook food quickly. These models have a variety of options to cook various food items.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a perfect solution for many kitchens. built in microwaves is a combination of the convenience of a microwave with the flexibility of wall ovens. Explore our complete range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the right fit for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation guide for your chosen unit to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave & wall oven models include microwave and wall oven models that are available in a variety of styles, colors and finishes to complement any decor. Also, look for features like smart and convenient electronic controls, a power-cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options that will help you reduce time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combo can free up space on your kitchen counters and give a stylish look to your space. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food items, and packaged food items. It removes the necessity for separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. A microwave-microwave combination can be a great option when you are looking to improve your kitchen without having to undergo any major renovation projects.
There are microwave ovens that come in various styles to match your kitchen decor. Some have a left-to-right swing-out door, while others feature a drop-down style that opens in the same manner as a traditional oven. You can also purchase a microwave-oven combo that opens through a drawer like a cabinet. The microwave drawers can be easily reached and are ideal for small spaces.
Combination microwaves also have many features that can make meal preparation easier and more convenient. Some models have a sensor steam mode that alters the temperature and time of your food in order to ensure you get perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil feature that lets you quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that can grill food items, bake and crisp them.
When choosing a microwave oven combination, make sure to consider how often you'll use each function. If you'll be using the oven component of your combo more frequently than the microwave, you may be better off using an oven with two walls instead. It's also important to note that a combo oven typically has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.
After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination that meets your requirements, you need to think about how you will install it. Over-the-range models can be positioned over your stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, while built-in microwaves can be plugged directly into cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that let you seamlessly match your new microwave with the cabinets in your kitchen.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combo can provide an ideal space-saving solution for those with smaller kitchens, regardless of whether they reside in a house or apartment. They can help save the space in cabinets that would be taken up by separate appliances, and also cut down on energy usage. 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 hot and cold dishes, eliminating the need for additional appliances such as toasters or warming plates.
DOE performs several analyses when evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards. These include technology and market assessments, screening analyses, engineering analyses and a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will draw on its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine what level of efficiency improvement is feasible for this product type.
In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave against an energy performance set of 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 impact on consumers, including cost savings throughout the lifecycle 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 evaluate the impacts on manufacturers, and will employ a modified industry cash flow model that is specifically tailored to this type of product to calculate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also consider the impact of these proposals on small businesses and other manufacturing subgroups to identify those who could be most affected.
DOE will also examine whether the test procedure for microwave ovens has to be revised to include active mode power consumption as well as a possible integrated energy use measure. Currently, the test protocols only deal with the standby mode power usage.
Design
Wall ovens rely on the circulating of hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause the water molecules in food items to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into one unit, reducing space in the kitchen while providing a modern and sleek design. But you need to carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. Many of the combination wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
