A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A microwave oven with built-in features incorporates your wall oven and your microwave into one appliance. They can help you save counter space and give your kitchen an elegant appearance.
These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves cook food quickly. These models offer a range of options to cook different food items.

A built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a great solution for kitchens with a variety of. continue reading this.. is a combination of the convenience of a microwave with the versatility of wall ovens. Explore our complete selection of combination microwaves and wall ovens to find the perfect suitable one for your home. Make sure you check the cutout specifications of your chosen unit and the installation guide to be sure it is suitable for your space. Our microwave and wall oven combinations feature both wall oven and microwave models that are available in a variety of colors, styles and finishes to match any decor. Look for features like easy and efficient controls as well as a power cook feature and a built-in self-cleaning feature to help you save time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combination can save space on kitchen counters and give a stylish design to your space. Because it functions as a microwave and a traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen meals and pre-packaged meals all in one appliance. It eliminates the necessity for separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. If you're looking to improve your home without the need for major changes, a microwave and a convection oven is a great option.
Microwave ovens are available in a variety of different styles to fit your kitchen decor. Certain microwave oven combos come with a swing-out right-to-left door or drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also find microwave ovens with a drawer style that opens like a cabinet. The microwave drawers can be easily reached and are great for small space.
Combination microwaves also come with a variety of features that can make meal preparation easier and more practical. Some models have a sensor steam mode that adjusts the temperature and duration of your food automatically to ensure you get perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil feature that allows you to quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill, bake and crisp foods.
Consider how often you'll use each feature when choosing the microwave oven combination. If you'll be using the oven more than the microwave, you may be better off buying an oven that doubles as a wall. A combo oven is smaller in capacity than a standalone oven.
Once you've selected the best microwave and oven combination for your needs, it's time to consider the installation. Over-the-range models are installed over your stovetop or cooktop and connected to the power outlet. Built-in microwaves can be incorporated on walls or cabinets in your kitchen. Certain models include trim kits to make your microwave match the cabinets you already have.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave oven combos are a great option for those who have smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can help to save cabinet space that would otherwise be occupied by two separate appliances and they can also help to reduce energy usage. continue reading this.. are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and offer the most efficient method to cook. They can also be used to cook hot and cold dishes, eliminating the requirement for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.
When evaluating potential amended energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses, including assessment of technology and market, screening analysis, engineering analysis and a national impact analysis (NIA). For this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its existing engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the highest efficiency improvements that are technologically feasible for this product category.
DOE will evaluate the microwave's design to a set energy performance objectives 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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the impacts on consumers for each product category, including lifecycle cost savings and simple payback period ("PBP"). DOE will utilize its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate the industry's net present value ("NPV").
The impact on manufacturers will be evaluated also, and DOE will employ a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model, which has been adapted for this type of product to calculate the manufacturing NPV. DOE will also examine the impact of these proposals on small businesses and other manufacturing subgroups to identify those who are likely to be affected.
Additionally, DOE will consider whether the tests for microwave ovens should be revised to include active mode energy use and an active mode energy use measure. At present, the test procedures only provide standby mode power usage.
Design
Microwaves create heat by causing water molecules vibrate in food. Wall ovens are based on the circulation of hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into one unit, which is ideal for securing space in the kitchen while giving a modern, sleek look. You should carefully think about your budget and needs before investing in a combination wall oven. Many of the combination wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
