A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. It combines the convenience of a microwavable with the versatility of wall ovens. Explore our range of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the ideal one for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications for the appliance you choose and follow the installation guide to be sure it will fit in your space. Our microwave & oven combinations include both oven and microwave models in a variety designs, colors and styles that will complement any decor. Look for features like easy and efficient controls as well as a power cook feature, and built-in self-cleaning to save you time.
More Support built in microwave oven combo can save space on your kitchen counters and provide a modern appearance to your kitchen. Because it acts as a microwave and a traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen foods and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It can also eliminate the need for an additional countertop appliance or the bulky wall oven that is a stand-alone unit. A combination microwave oven can also be a good choice if you want to upgrade your kitchen without undergoing any major renovation projects.
Microwave oven combos are available in a variety of different styles to suit the decor of your kitchen. Some have a left-to-right swing-out door, whereas others have a drop-down design that opens the same way as an oven that is traditional. You can also get microwave ovens that open in a drawer, like a cabinet. Microwave drawers are easily reached and are ideal for small spaces.
Combination microwaves are also equipped with various features that can simplify meal preparation and make it more efficient. Some models feature the option of a sensor steam mode that adjusts the temperature and duration of your food automatically to ensure perfectly steamed vegetables and fish. Other features include a broil element that allows you to quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish and Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill food items, bake and crisp them.
Consider how often you will use each feature when choosing a microwave-oven combination. If you'll be using the oven portion of your combo more frequently than the microwave, you may be better off with a double wall oven instead. A combo oven has a smaller capacity than a standalone oven.
Once you've selected the best microwave and oven combination that meets your requirements, you need to think about the installation. Over-the-range models can be positioned over the stove or cooktop and connect to an electrical outlet, while built in microwaves are installed directly into the cabinets or walls 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, regardless of whether they are in a house or apartment. They can help reduce the amount of the space in cabinets that would be taken up by two separate appliances. Additionally, they also can help reduce energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and offer a more efficient way to cook. In addition, they can be used to cook both warm and hot dishes, which reduces the necessity for additional appliances such as toasters or warming plates.
When evaluating potential amended energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses that include market and technology assessment, screening analysis, engineering analysis, and national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will use its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvements are feasible for this particular product.
DOE will compare the design of a microwave to the energy performance goals set 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 effects on consumers, including the lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback time (PBP). DOE will employ 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 as the impact on manufacturers will be evaluated. DOE will use a modified version of its Industry Cash Flow model, which has been adapted for this product type to calculate manufacturing NPV. In addition, DOE will consider the potential impact on small-business manufacturers and other subgroups of manufacturers to identify any that may be disproportionally affected by these proposals.
DOE will also examine whether the test procedure for microwave ovens has to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption and an energy use measure. The current tests only cover standby mode power consumption.
Design
Wall ovens are based on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves use waves to cause the water molecules in food items to vibrate and produce heat. integrated microwave oven combo blend these two appliances into a single unit, saving space in the kitchen and offering a sleek modern aesthetic. But you need to carefully think about your needs and budget before investing in a combo wall oven. Several of the combination wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
