A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo can combine your wall oven and your microwave into one unit. They can free space on your countertops and give your kitchen a modern design.
These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly, and their microwaves cook food quickly. These models have a variety of options to cook various food items.
Size
Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the flexibility of a wall oven and a built-in microwave and wall oven combo is an efficient solution for many kitchens. Browse our selection of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the perfect fit for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation guide for the appliance you choose to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave and oven sets include microwave and oven models with a variety of styles, colors and finishes that will match any decor. Also, look for features like 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 combo can save counter space and give your kitchen a more sleek appearance. Because it functions as a microwave in addition to a traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen meals and pre-packaged meals all in one appliance. It can eliminate the need for separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. A microwave-microwave combination can also be a good choice for those who want to modernize your kitchen without undergoing any major renovations.
Microwave ovens can be found in many different styles to match your kitchen decor. Some microwave oven combos feature doors that swing out right to left, while others are drop-down designs that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also purchase an oven and microwave that opens inside a drawer, like a cabinet. Microwave drawers are simple to reach and are perfect for smaller spaces where you want to minimize the use of counter space.
built in microwave oven can also offer a range of features to aid in meal preparation and more convenient. Some models feature sensors that allow you to steam your food. This feature adjusts the temperature and duration of your food in order to ensure you get perfectly steamed vegetables and fish. Other features include the broil element, that allows you to swiftly melt cheese and cook your favorite food. Crispwave(tm), meanwhile can cook, grill, and crisp food.
When choosing a microwave oven combination, be sure to consider how often you'll use each function. If you'll be using the oven portion of your combination more often than the microwave, you might prefer a double wall oven. A combo oven has a smaller capacity than an individual oven.
After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination that meets your needs, it's time to think about how you will install it. Over-the-range models can be positioned over your stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, while built-in microwaves are inserted directly into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that let you seamlessly blend your new microwave with the cabinets in your kitchen.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave oven combos are a great choice for those with smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can save cabinet space that would otherwise be occupied by two separate appliances and they can also help reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and offer an efficient method to cook. They can also be used to cook food or warm meals. This eliminates the necessity for other appliances such as toasters or warming plates.
In evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses, including market and technology assessment screening analysis, engineering analysis, and a national impact 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 an energy performance set of goals. 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 impact on consumers of each product class, including lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback periods ("PBP"). DOE will utilize its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate the industry's net present value ("NPV").
DOE will also examine the impacts on manufacturers, and will use an industry-specific cash flow model adapted to this product type in order to estimate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small-business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to identify any that could be disproportionally affected by these proposals.
DOE will also examine whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be revised to include active mode power consumption and an energy use measure. The current test procedures only cover standby mode power consumption.
Design
Wall ovens depend on the circulating of hot air while microwaves make use of waves to cause the water molecules in food items to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall ovens blend these two distinct appliances into a single unit that saves kitchen space and offers an elegant, modern look. You should carefully consider your budget and goals before investing in a combination wall oven. Several of the combination wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
