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 a single appliance. built in microwave and double oven can free up space on your counters and give your kitchen a classy appearance.
built in microwave and double oven are equipped with powerful broilers that cook food evenly. They also heat food quickly. These models offer a range of options to cook different food items.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a fantastic solution for kitchens of all kinds. It offers the convenience of a microwave with the flexibility of wall ovens. Browse our full selection of combination microwaves and wall ovens to find the right fit for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications of your chosen unit and the installation guide to make sure it will fit in your space. Our microwave and wall oven combinations feature both microwave and wall oven models that are available in a variety of styles, colors, and finishes to match any style. Look for features such as easy and efficient controls as well as a power cook feature, and built-in self-cleaning to help you save time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven will save you space on your counters and make your kitchen appear more modern appearance. Because it functions as a microwave and a traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen foods and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It can also eliminate the need for an additional countertop appliance or a the bulky wall oven that is a stand-alone unit. A combination microwave oven could also be a good option for those who want to modernize your kitchen without having to undergo any major remodeling projects.
Microwave ovens are available in different styles to suit your kitchen's decor. Some microwave oven combos feature doors that swing out right to left or drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also get a microwave-oven combo that opens through a drawer similar to a cabinet. Microwave drawers are easy to reach and are ideal for small spaces where you want to minimize the use of counter space.
Combination microwaves can also offer various features that help make meal prep easier and more practical. For instance, certain models have sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure that you get perfect steamed 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 can grill food items, bake and crisp them.
When selecting a microwave oven combination, be sure to consider how often you'll use each function. If you will be using the oven more than the micro, you might be better off buying an extra wall oven. It's also important to note that a combo appliance typically has less capacity than a conventional standalone oven.
After you've chosen the right microwave and oven combo for your needs, it's time to think about how you will install it. Over-the-range models can be positioned over your stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, while built in microwaves are installed directly into cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that let you effortlessly blend your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave oven combos are a great option for those with smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can help to reduce the amount of cabinet space that would normally be occupied by two separate appliances, and they can also help to reduce energy consumption. They typically offer the most efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, since they consume less energy. They can also be used to cook food or warm dishes. This means that there is less necessity for other appliances such as toasters or warming plates.
In evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses which include assessment of technology and market conditions, screening analysis, engineering analysis and national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will use its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvements are technologically possible for this product category.
DOE will assess the design of a microwave 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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the impact on consumers of each product category, including lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback time ("PBP"). DOE will use the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens to calculate the industry net present value (NPV).
DOE will also evaluate the impacts on manufacturers, and will use an altered industry cash flow model that is specifically tailored to this type of product to calculate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impacts on small business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to determine if they could be disproportionately affected by these proposals.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens has to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption as well as an integrated energy use metric. Currently, the test protocols only address standby mode power use.
Design
Microwaves generate heat by causing water molecules 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 ovens combine these two different appliances into a single unit that can be used to save kitchen space and offers sleek, modern design. You must carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. Many of the combination wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
