A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A stainless steel built in microwave-in microwave oven combo offers the best of both worlds by making your microwave and wall oven into one device. They can free up counter space and give your kitchen a classy appearance.

These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly, and their microwaves cook food quickly. They offer a wide range of cooking options for different foods.

Size

A built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a perfect solution for kitchens of all kinds. It offers the convenience of a microwave with the flexibility of wall double ovens with built in microwave. Explore our complete selection of combination microwaves and wall ovens to find the best option for your home. Make sure you check the cutout specifications of your selected model and the installation guide to be sure it will fit in your space. Our microwave & oven combinations include microwave and oven models that come in a variety of styles, colors and finishes that will match any decor. Also, look out for features such as intelligent and easy-to-use digital controls, a power cook function and built in self-cleaning options to help save time.

Convenience

A microwave oven with built in microwave with grill (internet)-in features will free up space on your counters and give your kitchen a more sleek appearance. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food, and packaged food items. It removes the necessity for separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. A microwave-microwave combination can also be a good option when you are looking to improve your kitchen without undergoing any major renovations.

You can find microwave ovens in various styles to match your kitchen's decor. Some come with a swing-out right-to-left door, whereas others feature a drop-down design that opens the same way as an ordinary oven. You can also find microwave ovens with the drawer design that opens as an open cabinet microwave built in. Microwave drawers are simple to reach and are ideal for smaller spaces where you want to avoid taking up valuable counter space.

Combination microwaves also come with various features that can simplify meal preparation and make it more practical. Some models feature a sensor steam mode that adjusts the temperature and duration of your food in order to ensure that you get perfectly steamed vegetables and fish. Other features include the broil element which lets you quickly melt cheese and brown your favorite food. Crispwave(tm) in turn can grill, bake and crisp food.

When choosing a microwave oven combination, make sure to take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll use the oven more frequently than the micro, you might prefer an oven that doubles as a wall. It's also important to note that a combo appliance typically has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.

Once you've selected the best microwave and oven combination that meets your requirements, you need to think about how you will install it. Over-the-range models are installed over the stovetop or cooktop and connect to an electrical outlet. Built-in microwaves are inserted into cabinets or walls in your kitchen. Certain models include trim kits to match your new microwave to your cabinets.

Energy Efficiency

Built-in microwave ovens are a great choice for those with smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can save on the space in cabinets that would be occupied by two separate appliances, and they can also help reduce energy consumption. They usually provide a more efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, as they tend to use less energy. They can also be used to cook food or warm dishes. This reduces the requirement for other 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 rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the best level of improvements in efficiency that are technically feasible for this product category.

DOE will assess 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 effects on consumers, including cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the simple payback period (PBP). DOE will utilize the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for ovens that can be microwaved to calculate the industry's net present value (NPV).

The impact on manufacturers will be evaluated also as the impact on manufacturers will be evaluated. DOE will use a modified version of its Industry Cash Flow model, which has been adapted for this type of product to estimate manufacturing NPV. In addition, DOE will consider the potential impacts on small built in microwave oven business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to identify any that could be affected in a different way by these proposals.

Additionally, DOE will consider whether the testing procedures for microwave ovens should be revised to include active mode energy use and an integrated combi microwave active mode energy use measure. Currently, the test protocols only cover the use of standby mode power.

Design

Microwaves create heat by causing water molecules vibrate in food. Wall ovens rely upon 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 a single unit that saves kitchen space and provides a sleek, modern aesthetic. However, you must carefully think about your needs and budget before purchasing a combination wall oven. Many of the combination wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
