A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo gives you the best of both worlds by making your microwave and oven into one unit. They can save space on your counters and give your kitchen an elegant look.
These models come with powerful broilers that cook evenly, and microwaves that heat food quickly. These models have a variety of cooking options for different dishes.
Size
Combining the convenience of a microwave oven with the versatility of wall ovens and a built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a practical solution for many kitchens. Explore our entire selection of combination microwaves and wall ovens to find the right fit for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation guide for the model you select to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave & oven combinations include both microwave and oven models in a variety styles, colors and finishes that will match any decor. Also, look for features like modern and efficient electronic controls, a power-cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options to help you save time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combination can save counter space in your kitchen and add a sleek look to your space. Since it functions as a microwave and traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen food items and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It also eliminates the requirement for an additional countertop appliance or a large wall ovens that are stand-alone. A combination microwave oven could also be a good option for those who want to modernize your kitchen without having to undergo any major remodeling projects.
Microwave oven combos are available in different styles to fit your kitchen's decor. Some come with a swing-out right-to-left door, while others feature a drop-down style that opens in the same manner as an ordinary oven. You can also purchase an oven and microwave that opens in a drawer, like a cabinet. The microwave drawers can be easily accessible and are perfect for small space.
Combination microwaves also come with various features that make meal preparation easier and more efficient. For instance, certain models come with a sensor steam cycle that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure you receive perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil element that allows you to quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that lets you grill food items, bake and crisp them.
When choosing a microwave combination, be sure to think about how often you'll be using each function. If you'll be using the oven part of your combo more frequently than the microwave, you might prefer a double wall oven. A combo appliance has less capacity than an individual oven.
After you've selected a microwave and oven combo to meet your needs, consider the installation procedure. Over-the range models are mounted over the stovetop or cooktop and connect to the power outlet. oven with integrated microwave -in microwaves can be incorporated into cabinets or walls in your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that allow you to effortlessly match your new microwave with your existing kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave ovens are a great option for those who have smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can save space in cabinets which would otherwise be taken by separate appliances, and also reduce energy consumption. They generally provide an efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens since they consume less energy. Additionally, they can usually be used to cook both hot and cold dishes, reducing the necessity 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). For this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its existing engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the maximum level of efficiency improvements that are technically feasible for this particular product class.
DOE will assess the design of a microwave with the energy performance goals set 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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the impacts on consumers for each product class including lifecycle cost savings and simple payback time ("PBP"). DOE will use the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens to calculate the industry's net present value (NPV).
The impact on manufacturers will be evaluated also as the impact on manufacturers will be evaluated. DOE will employ a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model, which has been adapted for this type of product to estimate manufacturing NPV. In addition, DOE will consider the potential impact on small-business manufacturers as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to determine if they could be disproportionally affected by these proposals.
DOE will also look into whether the test procedure for microwave ovens has to be revised to include active mode power consumption as well as an integrated energy use metric. 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 the water molecules in food items to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into a single unit, which is ideal for securing space in the kitchen and offering a sleek modern aesthetic. However, it is important to take into consideration your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. Some of the ovens we rated have design or performance issues.
