A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A microwave oven that is built-in combines your wall oven with your microwave into one unit. They can help you save counter space and give your kitchen an elegant appearance.

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

A built in microwave for wall unit-in microwave and wall oven combo is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. It is a combination of the convenience of a microwavable with the flexibility of wall ovens. Explore our complete range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the right suitable one for your home. Be sure to check the cutout specifications of your selected model and the installation guide to be sure it will fit in your space. Our microwave & wall oven models include wall oven and microwave models that are available in a variety of colors, styles and finishes that will complement any decor. Look for features such as easy and efficient controls, a power cook function and a built in double oven and microwave-in self-cleaning system to cut down on time.

Convenience

A built-in microwave oven can save counter space and give your kitchen a sleeker appearance. Because it acts as a microwave and a traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen foods and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It can eliminate the need for separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. A combination microwave oven could also be a good choice for those who want to modernize your kitchen without undergoing any major renovation projects.

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

Combination microwaves also come with many features that simplify meal preparation and make it more practical. Certain models come with a sensor steam mode that adjusts the temperature and duration of your food in order to ensure that you get perfect steamed fish and vegetables. 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, bake and crisp foods.

When selecting a microwave oven combination, you should consider how often you'll use each function. If you'll use the oven portion of your combo more frequently than the microwave, you might be better off using a double wall oven. A combo oven has a smaller capacity than a standalone oven.

After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination that meets your needs, it's time to consider the installation. Over-the-range models are mounted over your stove or cooktop and connect to an electrical outlet, while built-in microwaves are inserted directly into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that let you effortlessly integrate your new microwave into the cabinets in your kitchen.

Energy Efficiency

A built-in microwave oven combo can provide a great space saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they live in a home or an apartment. They can save the space in cabinets that would be taken up by separate appliances, and also cut down on energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and offer an efficient method to cook. Additionally, they can usually be used to cook hot and cold dishes, reducing the necessity for additional appliances such as toasters or warming plates.

When evaluating possible amendments to energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses which include market and technology assessment, screening analysis, engineering analysis, and national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will utilize its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvements are possible for this product category.

In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave with 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 NIA, DOE will assess the impacts on consumers, including cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the simple payback time (PBP). DOE will use its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for Best inbuilt microwave (telegra.ph) ovens to calculate the industry's net present value ("NPV").

DOE will also evaluate the effects on manufacturers and will employ an industry-specific cash flow model that is modified to fit this particular product in order to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also consider the impacts of these plans on small businesses and other manufacturing subgroups to determine those who are likely to be affected.

Additionally, DOE will consider whether the testing procedures for microwave ovens should be updated to include active mode energy use as well as an active mode energy use measurement. Currently, the test procedures only cover standby mode power use.

Design

Microwaves create heat by causing water molecules vibrate in food. Wall ovens depend on the circulation of hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall ovens blend these two different appliances into one unit that saves kitchen space and gives sleek, modern design. You must carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before investing in a combination wall oven. Some of the combination ovens we reviewed have design or performance issues.
