A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A built-in microwave oven combo provides the best integrated combination microwave of both worlds by combining your microwave and oven into one unit. They can save space on your counters and give your kitchen a classy appearance.

These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves cook food quickly. They also come with a broad variety of cooking options to cook various meals.

Size

A built in double oven and microwave-in microwave and wall oven combo is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. It offers the convenience of a microwavable with the versatility of wall ovens. Explore our entire range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the perfect suitable one for your home. Be sure to read the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the appliance you choose to ensure it will work in your space. Our microwave & wall oven models include microwave and wall oven microwave built in combo models that are available in a range of colors, styles and finishes that will complement any style. Look for features like simple and easy controls and a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning feature to save you time.

Convenience

A built-in microwave oven combo will free up counter space and make your kitchen appear more modern look. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food, and even pre-packaged food items. It can eliminate the necessity for separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. If you want to upgrade your home without having to do major remodeling the combination microwave oven is a great option.

You can find microwave ovens in a variety of designs to fit your kitchen decor. Some come with a swing-out right-to-left door, whereas others have a drop-down design that opens the same way as an ordinary oven. You can also find a microwave oven combo with the drawer design that opens in the same way as an open cabinet. Microwave drawers can be easily accessible and are perfect for small space.

Combination microwaves can also provide various features that assist in making meal preparation easier and more efficient. For example, some models come with a sensor steam cycle that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure you receive perfectly steamed veggies and fish. Other features include a broil feature that allows you to 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.

When selecting a microwave oven combination, make sure to take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll use the oven more than the micro, you might prefer an oven that doubles as a wall. It's important to keep in mind that a combo oven typically has less capacity than a conventional standalone oven.

When you've chosen the right microwave and oven 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 the power outlet. Built-in microwaves are inserted on walls or cabinets in your kitchen. Some models include trim kits to make your microwave match your cabinets.

Energy Efficiency

A built-in microwave oven combo can provide a great space saving option for those with smaller kitchens, regardless of whether they reside in a house or an apartment. They can help save cabinet space that would otherwise be occupied by two separate appliances and they also can help reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and provide the most efficient method to cook. They can also be used to cook food and warm food items. This reduces the need for other Premium Appliances like toasters or warming plates.

DOE conducts various analyses when evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards. These include market and technology assessments screening analyses, engineering analyses, and national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will use its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine what degree of efficiency improvements are technologically possible for this product category.

DOE will compare 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 built microwave oven 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 effects on consumers, such as the 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").

Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated also, and DOE will employ a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model adapted for this product type to calculate the manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small business manufacturers and other subgroups of manufacturers to identify any that may be disproportionately affected by these proposals.

DOE will also examine whether the test procedure for microwave ovens requires to be revised to include active mode power consumption and an integrated energy use metric. The current test procedures only cover the use of standby mode power.

Design

Wall ovens are based on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause water molecules in food items to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into a single unit, saving space in the kitchen and giving a modern, sleek look. You should carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before investing in a combination wall oven. Some of the ovens we rated have performance or Premium appliances design issues.
