A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A built-in microwave oven combo gives you the best of both worlds by making your microwave and oven into one device. They can help you save counter space and give your kitchen a stylish appearance.

These models are equipped with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. They also have the ability to heat food quickly. They also have a wide selection of cooking options various foods.

Size

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the flexibility of an oven on a wall and built in microwave oven a built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a great solution for many kitchens. Explore our entire range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the right fit for your home. Make sure you check the cutout specifications of your chosen unit and the installation guide to be sure it fits in your space. Our microwave & wall oven combos include both wall oven and microwave models that are available in a variety of styles, colors, and finishes that will complement any style. Look for features like simple and easy controls, a power cook function and a 25 litre built in microwave-in self-cleaning system to save you time.

Convenience

A built-in microwave oven combo can free up space on kitchen counters and give a stylish design to your space. Because it functions as a microwave in addition to a traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen food items and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It can eliminate the necessity of separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. If you're looking to improve your home without having to do major renovations, a combination microwave oven is a great option.

Microwave ovens are available in a variety of different styles to match your kitchen decor. Some have a right-to-left swing-out door, while others have a drop-down design that opens in the same manner as a traditional oven. There is also an oven and microwave that opens in a drawer, like cabinets. Microwave drawers are simple to reach and are great for smaller spaces where you want to minimize the use of counter space.

Combination microwaves are also equipped with a variety of features that can help you prepare your meals faster and more practical. For instance, some models come with a sensor steam cycle that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure you receive perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil element that lets you quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish and Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill food items, bake and crisp them.

Consider how often you will make use of each feature when choosing the microwave oven combination. If you'll use the oven more than the micro, you might prefer an oven that doubles as a wall. A combo appliance has a smaller capacity than a standalone oven.

When you've chosen an oven and microwave combination to meet your needs, you should think about the installation process. Over-the-range models are positioned over your cooktop or stove and connect to an electrical outlet. Built-in microwaves are installed into cabinets or walls in your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits to ensure that your new microwave is in line with the cabinets you already have.

Energy Efficiency

A built-in microwave oven combo can provide an ideal space-saving solution for those with smaller kitchens, regardless of whether they live in a home or an apartment. They can help to save on the space in cabinets that would be occupied by two separate appliances. Additionally, they also can help reduce energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and provide an efficient method to cook. In addition, they can be used to cook food and warm dishes, eliminating the requirement for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.

In evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses that include market and technology assessment, screening analysis, engineering analysis and a national impact analysis (NIA). For this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the best integrated microwave level of efficiency improvements that are technologically feasible for this product category.

In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave to an energy performance set of objectives. 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 the cost savings throughout the lifecycle and simple payback period (PBP). DOE will employ its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate the industry's net present value ("NPV").

Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated also, and DOE will employ a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model adapted to this particular product type to calculate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also consider the effects of these proposals on small businesses and other subgroups of manufacturers to identify those who could be most affected.

Additionally, DOE will consider whether the testing procedures for microwave ovens need to be revised to include active mode energy use and a possible double integrated oven with microwave active mode energy use measurement. The current test procedures only provide standby mode power usage.

Design

Microwaves create heat by causing water molecules vibrate in food. Wall ovens depend on the circulation of hot air, while microwaves rely on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall units combine both appliances into one unit, which is ideal for securing space in the kitchen while providing a modern and sleek design. However, you must carefully consider your goals and budget before investing in a combo wall oven. Some of the ovens we rated have performance or design issues.
