Wall-Mount Microwaves

The sleek appearance of a built-in microwave is a favorite among homeowners. It can be incorporated into a cabinet, drawer or wall, rather than sitting on a countertop. This provides more space to be used by other kitchen appliances, such as a toaster or electric range.

They let you grill, bake and sometimes steam food items in a single appliance, reducing the number of appliances required to cook meals. They usually include a dial or a touch screen that lets you select the microwave function, convection mode or oven temperature.

Based on the brand and model, they may be more expensive than a single microwave, but they generally have more features. A lot of models come with preprogrammed automated cook options that eliminate the guesswork from meal preparation, and detailed instructions that explain how to make use of the features of your new appliance.

The combination microwave takes up more room than a single microwave. You'll need to ensure that you have enough space in your kitchen and an outlet nearby if needed.

If you want to install a combination microwave, search for one that is built-in to avoid the hassle of removing your current cabinetry or having to hire a professional installer. It can be positioned on the wall or between cabinets for a seamless look. It can be set under the counter to quickly heat up food while you cook.

You can also purchase an appliance for your countertop that has an oven light as well as a vent built into. This will help you save space, but it may not be as easy to navigate as an individual microwave.

Look over the specifications of the model to see what dishes and containers are compatible with it. Some models have the ability to rotate food to cook evenly and can be useful for certain recipes. Some models come with a sliding tray that can be extended to accommodate larger dishes. If you'd like to be able to cook multiple dishes at once, choose a combination microwave that has greater wattage capacity than the norm, or opt for models with multi-rack capabilities.

Some combo microwaves only have pre-set programs for combination cooking, so the settings for the microwave as well as the convection or grill are set - medium microwave and 180degC/350degF oven for instance. If you prefer more control, opt for a model with manually adjustable power levels and oven settings.

Convection Microwaves





Microwave ovens come in several styles and finishes to suit your kitchen decor. Built-in microwaves are stylish and sleek, but require a power outlet to function. Countertop models can be operated by plugging them into an electrical outlet. Some built-in models are able to be used both as a microwave, and also a convection oven, which eliminates the hassle of switching appliances when cooking different foods.

Magnetron tubes convert electricity into microwaves, which heat and cook food. When you press a button, the magnetron and water molecules in your food shake and create friction that produces heat. A rotating turntable or plate can help to evenly distribute heat and ensure that all elements of your food are cooked thoroughly. Many modern microwaves offer auto cook functions that can set the time and power level automatically, eliminating the requirement to manually adjust the settings.

The power of your microwave is measured in Watts. Higher wattage levels can heat food faster and more evenly.
