A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility A built-in microwave oven combo offers the best of both worlds by making your microwave and oven into one device. They can help free space on your counters and give your kitchen a modern style. These models have powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves cook food quickly. They also come with a broad range of options for cooking various meals. Size Combining the convenience of a microwave oven with the flexibility of an oven on a wall, a built in microwave and wall oven combination is a practical solution for many kitchens. Explore our collection of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the perfect fit for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation guide for the model you select to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave & oven combinations include both oven and microwave models that come in a variety of colors, styles and finishes that will match any decor. Also, look out for features like intelligent and easy-to-use digital controls, a power-cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options to help save time. Convenience A built-in microwave oven combo will save you counter space and make your kitchen appear more modern appearance. Because it functions as a microwave in addition to a traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen food items and pre-packaged meals all in one appliance. It also eliminates the requirement for an additional countertop appliance or a the bulky wall oven that is a stand-alone unit. If you want to upgrade your home without having to do major changes, a combination microwave oven is a great option. There are microwave ovens that come in various styles to match your kitchen's decor. Some microwave oven combos have doors that swing out right to left, while others are drop-down designs that open in the same way as traditional ovens. You can also get a microwave-oven combo that opens through a drawer like a cabinet. Microwave drawers are simple to reach and are great for smaller spaces where you want to keep your microwave from taking up valuable counter space. Combination microwaves can also offer a range of features to help make meal prep easier and more convenient. For example, some models have a sensor steam cycle that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure you receive perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil feature that lets you quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food and Crispwave™ technology that lets you grill, bake and crisp foods. When choosing a microwave combination, you should consider how often you'll use each function. If you'll use the oven more than the micro, you may prefer a double wall-oven. A combo oven has a smaller capacity than an oven that is a standalone unit. After you've chosen the right microwave and oven combo for your requirements, you need to consider the installation. Over-the-range models are mounted over your stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, whereas built-in microwaves are inserted directly into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits to ensure that your new microwave is in line with your existing cabinets. Energy Efficiency A built in microwave oven combo can provide an excellent space-saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they reside in a house or an apartment. They can help to reduce the amount of cabinet space that would normally be taken up by two separate appliances and they also can help reduce energy consumption. They usually provide a more efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, since they consume less energy. They can also be used to cook food or warm dishes. This eliminates the necessity for other appliances such as toasters or warming plates. When evaluating potential amended energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses which include assessment of technology and market, screening analysis, engineering analysis, and national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will utilize its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine what level of efficiency improvements are possible for this product category. DOE will assess the design of a microwave with 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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the impacts on consumers for each product class including lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback time (“PBP”). DOE will employ the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens, to determine the industry's net present value (NPV). The impact on manufacturers will be evaluated also and DOE will employ a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model, which has been adapted for this product type to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the effects of these proposals on small-scale businesses as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to identify those who are likely to be affected. 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 measure. Currently, the test protocols only cover standby mode power use. Design Microwaves produce heat by causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens depend on the circulation of hot air while microwaves depend on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall ovens combine two different appliances into a single unit that can be used to save kitchen space and gives a sleek, modern aesthetic. It is important to think about your budget and needs before deciding on a combination wall oven. Some of the ovens we rated have performance or design issues.
