A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo incorporates your wall oven and your microwave into one appliance. They can free space on your counters and give your kitchen a modern style.
These models have powerful broilers that cook evenly, and their microwaves heat food quickly. They also offer a wide variety of cooking options to cook various foods.
Size
Combining the convenience of a microwave oven with the flexibility of wall ovens, a built in microwave and wall oven combination is a practical solution for kitchens of all kinds. Explore our collection of combination wall ovens and microwaves to find the perfect solution for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the appliance you choose to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave and oven sets include both oven and microwave models that come in a variety of designs, colors and styles that will complement any decor. Also, look out for features like modern and efficient digital controls, a power-cook function, and built-in self-cleaning options to help you save time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combo will free up counter space and give your kitchen a more sleek appearance. Because it acts as a microwave and traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen meals and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It removes the need for separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. A combination microwave oven could also be a good choice if you want to upgrade your kitchen without undertaking any major renovations.
You can find microwave ovens that come in various styles to match the decor of your kitchen. Certain microwave oven combos come with doors that swing out right to left and others have drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also purchase microwave ovens that open inside a drawer, like a cabinet. Microwave drawers can be easily reached and are great for small spaces.
Combination microwaves also come with various features that assist in making meal preparation easier and more efficient. For instance, some models come with sensors that allow you to steam your food and automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure that you get 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. Crispwave(tm), meanwhile, can grill, bake, and crisp food.
When choosing a microwave oven combination, be sure to think about how often you'll be using each function. If you'll be using the oven portion of your combo more frequently than the microwave, you may prefer a double wall oven. It's also important to note that a combo oven typically has less capacity than a conventional standalone oven.
When you've chosen the right microwave and oven combination to meet your needs, consider the installation process. Over-the range models are mounted over your stovetop or cooktop and connected to an electrical outlet. Built-in microwaves are inserted into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that allow you to effortlessly blend your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave oven combos are a great option for those who have smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can save the space that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances. They can also reduce energy consumption. They usually provide an 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 means that there is less requirement for other appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.
DOE conducts various analyses when evaluating potential amendments to energy conservation standards. These include market and technology assessments screening analyses, engineering analyses and national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the best efficiency improvements that are technologically feasible for this particular product class.
DOE will evaluate the design of a microwave to 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 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").
Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated as well as the impact on manufacturers will be evaluated. DOE will use a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model, which has been adapted for this type of product to estimate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impacts on small business manufacturers and other subgroups of manufacturers to identify any that could be disproportionally affected by these proposals.
integrated microwave oven will also look into whether the test procedure for microwave ovens has to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption and an integrated energy use measure. At present, the test procedures only cover standby mode power consumption.
Design
Wall ovens depend on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves make use of waves to cause water molecules in food to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall ovens combine two distinct appliances into one unit that saves kitchen space and provides sleek, modern design. You must carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. Some of the combination ovens we rated have performance or design issues.
