A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A microwave oven that is built-in incorporates your wall oven and your microwave into one appliance. They can free up space on your counters and give your kitchen a classy appearance.
These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly and microwaves that heat food quickly. They also have a wide variety of cooking options to cook different foods.
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 great solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Explore our collection of wall ovens that combine with microwaves to find the perfect one for your home. Make sure you check the cutout specifications of the appliance you choose and follow the installation guide to make sure it will fit in your space. Our microwave and wall oven combos include both wall oven and microwave models that are available in a range of colors, styles and finishes to complement any style. Also, look out for features such as intelligent and easy-to-use electronic controls, a power-cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options to help you reduce time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combination can save space on kitchen counters and give a stylish design to your space. Because it functions as a microwave and traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen meals and pre-packaged meals 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 for those who want to modernize your kitchen without undergoing any major remodeling projects.
You can find microwave ovens in a variety of styles to match your kitchen's decor. Some microwave oven combos have doors that swing out right to left and others have drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also get an oven and microwave that opens inside a drawer, similar to cabinets. The microwave drawers can be easily reached and are great for small spaces.
Combination microwaves also come with various features to help make meal prep easier and more practical. Certain models come with a sensor steam mode that adjusts the temperature and time of your food in order to ensure you get perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil element that allows you to swiftly melt cheese and brown your favorite dish. Crispwave(tm), meanwhile can grill, bake and crisp food.
When selecting a microwave oven combination, be sure to think about how often you'll be using 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 instead. A combo appliance has a smaller capacity than an individual oven.
After you've selected the right microwave and oven combination to satisfy your needs, think about the installation procedure. Over-the-range models can be positioned over your stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, whereas built-in microwaves are inserted directly 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
A built-in microwave oven combo is a great space saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they reside in a house or an apartment. They can help save on cabinet space that would otherwise be occupied by two separate appliances, and they can also help reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and offer the most efficient method to cook. Ovens And Hobs can also be used to cook food and warm dishes, reducing the need for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.
In evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses that include assessment of technology and market conditions, screening analysis, engineering analysis, and a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will utilize its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine what level of efficiency improvements are technologically feasible for this particular product.
DOE will evaluate 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, such as the cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the simple payback time (PBP). DOE will employ the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for ovens that can be microwaved to calculate the industry net present value (NPV).
The impact of manufacturers will be assessed also and DOE will employ an updated version of its Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified for this product type to calculate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, 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.
In addition, DOE will consider whether the testing procedures for microwave ovens need to be updated to include active mode energy use as well as a possible integrated active mode energy use metric. The current test procedures only cover the standby mode power usage.
Design
Microwaves generate heat through the process of causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens rely upon the circulation of hot air while microwaves depend on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall ovens combine two very different appliances into one unit that saves kitchen space and provides sleek, modern design. However, it is important to take into consideration your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. Several of the combination wall ovens that we've rated have issues with performance or design.
