A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A built-in microwave oven combo offers the best of both worlds by combining your wall oven and microwave built into one unit. They can free up counter space and give your kitchen a stylish look.

These models are equipped with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. The microwaves integrated can also heat food quickly. They also come with a broad variety of cooking options to cook various foods.

Size

A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. It is a combination of the convenience of a microwave with the versatility of wall ovens. Explore our range of wall ovens that combine with microwaves to find the perfect solution for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the model you select to ensure it will work in your space. Our microwave and wall oven models include microwave and wall oven models that are available in a variety of colors, styles and finishes to complement any decor. Look for features such as easy and efficient controls, a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning system to help you save time.

Convenience

A built-in microwave oven combo will save you space on your counters and make your kitchen appear more modern appearance. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food, and even pre-packaged food items. It also eliminates the requirement for an additional countertop appliance or a large wall ovens that are stand-alone. If you are looking to upgrade your home without the need for major remodeling the combination microwave oven is a great choice.

Microwave oven combos are available in different styles to suit your kitchen's decor. Some microwave oven combos have doors that swing out right to left and others have drop-down designs that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also get microwave ovens that open in a drawer, similar to a cabinet. Microwave drawers can be easily accessible and are perfect for small spaces.

Combination microwaves can also provide various features to aid in meal preparation and more convenient. Some models feature sensors that allow you to steam your food. This feature alters the temperature and time of your food automatically to ensure that you get perfectly steamed vegetables and fish. Other features include a broil feature that lets you quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill food items, bake and crisp them.

Consider how often you'll utilize each feature before deciding on the microwave oven combination. If you'll be using the oven more than the micro, you might prefer an extra wall oven. It's also important to note that a combination appliance generally has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.

After you've chosen the right microwave and oven combo for your needs, it's time to consider the installation. Over-the-range models can be positioned over the stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, whereas built in microwaves are installed directly into cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Certain models include trim kits to ensure that your new microwave is in line with your cabinets.

Energy Efficiency

built in microwave with grill-in microwave oven combos are a great choice for those who have smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can reduce the amount of cabinet space that would normally be taken up by two separate appliances, and they can also help to reduce energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and provide an efficient method to cook. Additionally, they can usually be used to cook both food and warm dishes, eliminating the necessity for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.

DOE performs several analyses when evaluating potential amendments to energy conservation standards. These include technology and market assessments screening analyses, engineering analyses, and a national impact assessment (NIA). For this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the best level of efficiency improvements that are technologically feasible for this particular product class.

DOE will evaluate the microwave's design to an energy performance objective that is specified 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 impact on consumers, including cost savings throughout the lifecycle and simple payback period (PBP). DOE will employ 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 and DOE will employ an updated version of its Industry Cash Flow model adapted for this product type to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the impact of these proposals on small businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to identify those that may be disproportionately affected.

DOE will also look into whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be revised to include active mode power consumption as well as a possible integrated energy use metric. The current test procedures only address the use of standby mode power.

Design

Microwaves generate heat by causing water molecules vibrate in food. Wall ovens rely upon the circulation of hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into a single unit, saving space in the kitchen and giving a modern, sleek look. You must carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before deciding on a combination wall oven. A few of the combo wall ovens that we've rated have issues with performance or design.
