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 a single appliance. They can help you save counter space and give your kitchen an elegant look.
These models are equipped with powerful broilers that cook food evenly. Their microwaves also heat food quickly. These models offer a range of options to cook various foods.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a fantastic solution for kitchens of all kinds. It is a combination of the convenience of a microwave with the versatility of wall ovens. Explore our complete range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the best option for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the model you select to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave and oven sets include both microwave and oven models with a variety of designs, colors and styles that can be incorporated into any decor. Look for features such as smart and convenient controls, a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning system to cut down on time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combo can free up space on kitchen counters and give a stylish look to your space. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food, and even pre-packaged food items. It eliminates the necessity of separate appliances for the countertop or large wall ovens. A combination microwave oven could also be a good option if you want to upgrade your kitchen without undertaking any major remodeling projects.
Microwave oven combos can be found in many different styles to fit your kitchen decor. Certain microwave oven combos come with doors that swing out right to left, while others are drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also purchase microwave ovens that open through a drawer like cabinets. Microwave drawers can be easily reached and are great for small space.
Combination microwaves also come with a variety of features that can simplify meal preparation and make it more practical. For instance, certain models have sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure that you get perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil feature that lets you quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish and Crispwave(tm) technology that can grill food items, bake and crisp them.
Consider how often you'll utilize each feature before deciding on a microwave-oven combination. If you'll use the oven component of your combo more than the microwave, you might prefer an oven with two walls instead. It's also important to note that a combination appliance generally has less capacity than a conventional standalone oven.
After you've chosen the right microwave and oven combo for your needs, it's time to think about how you will install it. Over-the-range models mount over the stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, whereas built in microwaves are installed directly into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that allow you to seamlessly match your new microwave with your existing kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combo can provide an excellent space-saving option for those with smaller kitchens, whether they reside in a house or apartment. They can free up space in cabinets which would otherwise be taken by separate appliances. They can also reduce energy consumption. They generally provide the most efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens as they tend to use less energy. They can also be used to cook both food and warm dishes, reducing the requirement for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.
DOE conducts various analyses when evaluating potential amendments to energy conservation standards. These include technology and market assessments, screening analyses, engineering analyses, and a national impact assessment (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will utilize its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine what level of efficiency improvements are feasible for this product type.
DOE will assess 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 impact on consumers, including the lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback period (PBP). DOE will use its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").
integrated microwave of manufacturers will be assessed also, and DOE will use a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model adapted to this particular product type to calculate the manufacturing NPV. Finally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small-business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to determine if they could be disproportionately affected by these proposals.
DOE will also examine whether the test procedure for microwave ovens requires to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption and a possible integrated energy use measure. At present, the test procedures only provide standby mode power usage.
Design
Microwaves produce 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 combine two very different appliances into a single unit that saves kitchen space and provides an elegant, modern look. You must carefully think about your budget and needs before investing in a combination wall oven. Some of the combination ovens we rated have performance or design issues.
