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 wall oven and microwave into one unit. They can save counter space and give your kitchen an elegant appearance.
These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly, and microwaves that heat food quickly. They also offer a wide range of options for cooking various meals.
Size
Combining ovens with built in microwave of a microwave oven and the versatility of a wall oven with a built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a great solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Explore our entire range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the best option for your home. Make sure you check the cutout specifications of the appliance you choose and follow the installation guide to make sure it will fit in your space. Our microwave and oven sets include both oven and microwave models that come in a variety of styles, colors and finishes that will complement any decor. Also, look for features like smart and convenient electronic controls, a power-cook function and built in self-cleaning options to help save time.
Convenience
A microwave oven with built-in features can save counter space and give your kitchen a sleeker appearance. Because it acts as a microwave and traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen meals and pre-packaged meals all in one appliance. It also eliminates the need for an additional countertop appliance or a bulky stand-alone wall oven. If you are looking to upgrade your home without having to undertake major renovations, a combination microwave oven is a great choice.
You can find microwave oven combos in various styles to match your kitchen decor. Certain microwave oven combos come with doors that swing open from right to left or drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also purchase an oven and microwave that opens in a drawer, like a cabinet. Microwave drawers are easy to reach and are perfect for smaller spaces where you want to keep your microwave from taking up valuable counter space.
Combination microwaves also have various features that help you prepare your meals faster and more convenient. For instance, certain models come with a sensor steam cycle that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure you receive perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil element, which lets you quickly melt cheese and brown your favorite dish. Crispwave(tm) in turn can cook, grill, and crisp food.
When choosing a microwave oven combination, be sure to take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll be using the oven more than the microwave, you may prefer a double wall-oven. A combo oven has a smaller capacity than an individual oven.
When you've chosen an oven and microwave combination to satisfy your needs, think about the installation process. Over-the range models are mounted over your stovetop or cooktop, and plug into a power outlet. Built-in microwaves are inserted into cabinets or walls in your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that let you effortlessly blend your new microwave with your existing kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave oven combos are a great option for those with smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can help to save cabinet space that would normally be taken up by two separate appliances and they also can help reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and offer the most efficient method to cook. They can also be used to cook food and warm food items. built in single oven and microwave packages eliminates the need for other appliances like 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 existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine what level of efficiency improvements are possible for this product category.
DOE will compare the microwave's design 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 NIA, DOE will assess the impacts on consumers, such as the cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the 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").
The impact of manufacturers will be assessed also as the impact on manufacturers will be evaluated. DOE will use a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified for this product type to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the impacts of these plans on small-scale businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to identify those who are likely to be affected.
DOE will also examine whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption as well as an energy use measurement. Currently, the test protocols only address standby mode power use.
Design
Microwaves generate heat by causing water molecules 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 these two very different appliances into a single unit that can be used to save kitchen space and offers a sleek, modern aesthetic. You should carefully consider your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we reviewed have design or performance issues.
