A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built in microwave oven combo provides the best of both worlds by connecting your microwave and oven into one appliance. They can free up counter space and give your kitchen an elegant look.
These models come with powerful broilers that cook food evenly. They also allow food to be cooked quickly. These models offer a range of options to cook various food items.
Size
Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the flexibility of wall ovens with a built-in microwave and wall oven combo is an efficient solution for kitchens of all kinds. Explore our collection of combination wall ovens and microwaves to find the ideal solution for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and the installation guide for the appliance you choose to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave and oven combos include both oven and microwave models with a variety of designs, colors and styles that can be incorporated into any decor. Also, look out for features such as intelligent and easy-to-use digital controls, a power cook function, and built-in self-cleaning options that will help you save time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combo can free up space on kitchen counters and provide a modern look to your space. Because it functions as a microwave and a traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen food items and pre-packaged meals all in one appliance. It eliminates the need for separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. If you're looking to improve your home without having to do major remodeling, a combination microwave oven is a great option.
You can find microwave ovens that come in various styles to match the decor of your kitchen. Certain microwave oven combos come with doors that swing open from right to left or drop-down designs that open in the same way as traditional ovens. There is also microwave ovens with a drawer style that opens in the same way as a cabinet. The 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 to help make meal prep easier and more efficient. For instance, some models have sensors that allow you to steam your food and automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure that you get perfectly steamed veggies and fish. Other features include the broil element, which lets you quickly melt cheese and cook your favorite dish. Crispwave(tm) is meanwhile, can cook, grill, and crisp food items.
When choosing a microwave combination, be sure to take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll use the oven more often than the micro, you might prefer a double wall-oven. integrated wall unit microwave has less capacity than an oven that is a standalone unit.
Once you've selected the best microwave and oven combination for your requirements, you need to think about how you will install it. Over-the-range models are mounted over your cooktop or stove and plug into an electrical outlet, while built-in microwaves are inserted directly into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that let you seamlessly match your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built in microwave oven combination can be an ideal space-saving solution for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they reside in a house or apartment. They can free up the space in cabinets that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances. They can also help reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and provide a more efficient way to cook. They can also be used to cook hot and cold dishes, which reduces the requirement for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.
When evaluating possible amendments to 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 rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the maximum efficiency improvements that are technically feasible for this particular product class.
DOE will evaluate the microwave's design to 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 impact on consumers, including cost savings throughout the lifecycle and simple payback time (PBP). DOE will utilize its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate the industry's net present value ("NPV").
DOE will also assess the impact on manufacturers and will employ an altered industry cash flow model that is specifically tailored to this type of product to estimate manufacturing NPV. In addition, DOE will consider the potential impact 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 revised to include active mode power consumption and an energy use metric. Currently, tests only cover standby mode power consumption.
Design
Wall ovens are based on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves make use of waves to cause the water molecules in food items to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall units blend these two appliances into one unit, reducing space in the kitchen while providing a modern and sleek design. You should carefully consider your budget and goals before investing in a combination wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we evaluated have performance or design issues.
