A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A built in microwave oven combo provides the best built-in combination microwave oven of both worlds by connecting your microwave and wall oven into one appliance. They can help you save counter space and give your kitchen a classy appearance.

These models are equipped with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. The microwaves can also allow food to be cooked quickly. These models have a variety of cooking options for different foods.

Size

A built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a fantastic solution for kitchens of all kinds. It offers the convenience of a microwave with the versatility of wall ovens. Browse our selection of combination wall ovens and microwaves to find the best solution for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications of your chosen unit and the installation guide to be sure it fits in your space. Our microwave and oven sets include microwave and oven models that come in a variety of colors, styles and finishes that will complement any decor. Also, look out for features such as smart and convenient electronic controls, a power-cook feature and Built-in Microwaves self-cleaning options to help you save time.

Convenience

A built in microwave oven combo can free up space on your kitchen counters and add a sleek design to your space. Since it functions as a microwave and traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen food items 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're looking to improve your home without the need for major remodeling, a microwave and a convection oven is a great option.

Microwave ovens are available in a variety of different styles to fit the decor of your kitchen. Some have a right-to-left swing-out door, whereas others feature a drop-down style that opens the same way as an ordinary oven. There is also microwave ovens that have an open-type drawer that opens like a cabinet. Microwave drawers can be easily accessible and are perfect for small space.

Combination microwaves also come with many features that make meal preparation easier and more convenient. For example, some models come with sensors for steam cycles that 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 allows you to quickly melt cheese and built in microwave brown your favorite dish. Crispwave(tm) is meanwhile can grill, bake and crisp food.

Consider how often you will use each feature when choosing a microwave oven combo. If you'll use the oven more frequently than the micro, you may prefer an oven that doubles as a wall. A combo oven is smaller in capacity than an oven that is a standalone unit.

When you've chosen the right microwave and oven combination to satisfy your needs, think about the installation procedure. Over-the-range models can be positioned over your cooktop or stove and connect to an electrical outlet, whereas built in air fryer microwave in microwaves are installed directly into cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that allow you to effortlessly blend your new microwave with the cabinets in your kitchen.

Energy Efficiency

Built-in microwave oven combos are a great choice for those who have smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can help save space in cabinets that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and can also help reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and provide an efficient method to cook. In addition, they can be used to cook hot and cold dishes, eliminating the requirement for additional appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.

DOE conducts a variety of analyses when evaluating possible amended energy conservation standards. These include market and technology assessments screening analysis, engineering analyses and a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will use its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvements are feasible for this product type.

In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave to a set of energy performance 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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the impact on consumers of each product category, including lifecycle cost savings and simple payback time ("PBP"). DOE will employ the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens, to calculate the industry net present value (NPV).

Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated also as the impact on manufacturers will be evaluated. DOE will employ an updated version of its Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified for this type of product to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also examine the effects of these proposals on small businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to determine those that may be disproportionately affected.

Additionally, DOE will consider whether the test procedures for microwave ovens should be updated to include active mode energy use as well as an integrated microwave oven active mode energy use metric. Currently, test procedures only provide standby mode power usage.

Design

Wall ovens depend on the circulation of hot air evenly while microwaves make use of waves to cause water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into one unit, reducing space in the kitchen while offering a sleek modern aesthetic. However, it is important to take into consideration your budget and goals before investing in a combo wall oven. Several of the combination wall ovens that we've rated have issues with performance or design.
