A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A microwave oven with built-in features incorporates your wall oven and your microwave into one unit. They can free space on your counters and give your kitchen a sleek style.

These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves cook food quickly. They offer a wide range of options to cook different dishes.

Size

A built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a great solution for many kitchens. It is a combination of the convenience of a microwavable with the flexibility of wall ovens. Browse our selection of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the perfect fit for your home. Be sure to check the cutout specifications of your selected model and the installation guide to be sure it is suitable for your space. Our microwave and oven combos include both oven and microwave models with a variety of designs, colors and styles that can be incorporated into any decor. Also, look out for features like modern and efficient electronic controls, a power-cook feature and built in microwave black-in self-cleaning options to help you save time.

Convenience

A built in microwave small-in microwave oven combination can save space on kitchen counters and give a stylish look to your space. Because it acts as a microwave and a traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen food items and pre-packaged meals all in one appliance. It can eliminate the necessity for separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. If you want to upgrade your home without the need for major renovations the combination microwave oven is a great option.

Microwave ovens can be found in many different styles to suit your kitchen decor. Certain microwave oven combos come with doors that swing open from right to left and others have drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. There is also an oven and microwave that opens through a drawer like cabinets. Microwave drawers are easily reached and are ideal for small spaces.

Combination microwaves also come with various features to aid in meal preparation and more practical. For instance, some models have a sensor steam cycle that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure you receive perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil element that lets you quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill food items, bake and crisp them.

When choosing a microwave oven combination, make sure to think about how often you'll be using each function. If you'll be using the oven component of your combo more frequently than the microwave, you might be better off using an oven with two walls instead. A combo oven has less capacity than a standalone oven.

When you've chosen the right microwave and oven combination to satisfy your needs, think about the installation process. Over-the-range models are positioned over the stovetop or cooktop and connected to the power outlet. built in microwave small-in microwaves are inserted into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that let you effortlessly integrate your new microwave into your existing kitchen cabinets.

Energy Efficiency

built in microwave black-in microwave ovens are a great option for those with smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can save on the space in cabinets that would be taken up by two separate appliances and they can also help to reduce energy consumption. They generally 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 and warm meals. This eliminates the necessity for other appliances such as toasters or warming plates.

DOE conducts various analyses when evaluating potential amendments to energy conservation standards. These include technology and market assessments screening analysis, engineering analyses and national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will use its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvements are feasible for this particular product.

DOE will assess the design of a microwave to 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 cost savings throughout the lifecycle and simple payback time (PBP). DOE will use the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for ovens that can be microwaved 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 product type to calculate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the impacts of these plans on small businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to identify those that may be disproportionately affected.

DOE will also consider 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 measure. The current tests only provide standby mode power usage.

Design

Microwaves generate heat by causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens are based on the circulation of hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into one unit, saving space in the kitchen while offering a sleek modern aesthetic. You should carefully think about your budget and needs before purchasing a combination wall oven. Some of the ovens we evaluated have performance or design issues.
