ovens with built in microwave in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built in microwave oven combo provides the best of both worlds by combining your wall oven and microwave into one unit. They can free up space on your counters and give your kitchen a stylish appearance.
These models come with powerful broilers that cook food evenly. Their microwaves also allow food to be cooked quickly. They also come with a broad variety of cooking options to cook various meals.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a perfect solution for many kitchens. It 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 best fit for your home. Be sure to read the cutout specifications and the installation guide for the appliance you choose to ensure it will work in your space. Our microwave and oven sets include microwave and oven models in a variety designs, colors and styles that will complement any decor. Also, look out for features such as smart and convenient electronic controls, a power-cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options that will help you save time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven will free up space on your counters and make your kitchen appear more modern appearance. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food items, and packaged food items. It also eliminates the requirement for an additional countertop appliance or large wall ovens that are stand-alone. If you are looking to upgrade your home without having to do major changes, a microwave and a convection oven is a great option.
Microwave ovens can be found in many different styles to suit your kitchen decor. Some have a right-to-left swing-out door, whereas others feature a drop-down design that opens in the same manner as a traditional oven. There is also a microwave-oven combo that opens in a drawer, like cabinets. Microwave drawers are easy to reach and are perfect for smaller spaces where you want to keep your microwave from taking up valuable counter space.
Combination microwaves can also provide a range of features to help make meal prep easier and more efficient. For instance, certain models come with sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure that you get perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil feature, that allows you to swiftly melt cheese and brown your favorite food. Crispwave(tm) is meanwhile can grill, bake, and crisp food items.
Think about how often you'll use each feature when choosing a microwave oven combo. If you'll be using the oven part of your combo more than the microwave, you may be better off using a double wall oven instead. It's important to keep in mind that a combination appliance generally has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.
After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination that meets your requirements, you need to think about the installation. Over-the range models are mounted over the stovetop or cooktop, and plug into the power outlet. Built-in microwaves are inserted on walls or cabinets in your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that allow you to seamlessly match your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave ovens are a great choice for those with smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can help save cabinet space that would normally be occupied by two separate appliances, and they also can help reduce energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and offer the most efficient method to cook. In addition, they can be used to cook warm and hot dishes, reducing the need for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.
DOE conducts a variety of analyses when evaluating possible amended energy conservation standards. These include technology and market assessments screening analyses, engineering analyses and national impact analysis (NIA). For this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its existing engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the best efficiency improvements that are technically feasible for this product category.
DOE will evaluate the design of a microwave with 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 impact on consumers, including the cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the 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 of manufacturers will be assessed as well and DOE will employ a modified version of its Industry Cash Flow model, which has been adapted for this product type to calculate the manufacturing NPV. DOE will also examine the impact of these proposals on small businesses as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to identify those who are likely to be affected.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens requires to be revised to include active mode power consumption as well as an integrated energy use measurement. At present, the tests only cover standby mode power consumption.
Design
Wall ovens are based on the circulating of hot air while microwaves use waves to cause water molecules in food items to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall units combine both appliances into one unit, which is ideal for securing space in the kitchen and 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 that we've rated have issues with performance or design.
