A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo offers the best of both worlds by making your microwave and oven into one unit. They can save space on your counters and give your kitchen a classy look.
These models are equipped with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. The microwaves can also have the ability to heat food quickly. These models offer a range of options to cook different food items.
Size
Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the versatility of an oven on a wall and a built-in microwave and wall oven is a great solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Explore our range of wall ovens that combine with microwaves to find the perfect one for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation guide for the model you select to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave and oven combos include both microwave and oven models with a variety of designs, colors and styles that will match any decor. Look for features like smart and convenient controls as well as a power cook feature and a built-in self-cleaning feature to save you time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combo can free up space on kitchen counters and give a stylish appearance to your kitchen. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food items, and pre-packaged foods. It eliminates the need for separate appliances for the countertop or large wall ovens. If you're looking to improve your home without having to do major renovations, a microwave and a convection oven is a great option.
You can find microwave oven combos in a variety of designs to fit the decor of your kitchen. Some microwave oven combos feature doors that swing out right to left and others have drop-down designs that open in the same way as traditional ovens. There is also a microwave oven combo with an open-type drawer that opens like an open cabinet. The microwave drawers can be easily reached and are great for small space.
Combination microwaves can also provide various features to help make meal prep easier and more efficient. Some models have sensors that allow you to steam your food. This feature alters the temperature and time of your food automatically to ensure perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil feature that lets you quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill food items, bake and crisp them.
When choosing a microwave oven combination, you should take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll use the oven portion of your combo more than the microwave, you might prefer a double wall oven instead. A combo appliance is smaller in capacity than an individual oven.
Once you've decided on an oven and microwave combination to meet your needs, consider the installation process. Over-the-range models are positioned over the stovetop or cooktop and connected to the power outlet. Built-in microwaves are inserted into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models have trim kits that ensure that your new microwave is in line with your existing cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built in microwave oven combo can provide an ideal space-saving solution for those who have smaller kitchens, regardless of whether they reside in a house or an apartment. They can help save on cabinet space that would normally be occupied by two separate appliances and they also can help reduce energy consumption. They generally provide a more efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens because they use less energy. Additionally, they can usually be used to cook both warm and hot dishes, reducing the requirement for additional appliances such as toasters or warming plates.
DOE performs several analyses when evaluating possible amended energy conservation standards. These include market and technology assessments screening analyses, engineering analyses and a national impact assessment (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will utilize its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvements are feasible for this particular product.
DOE will assess the design of a microwave 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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the effects on consumers for each product category, including lifecycle cost savings and 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 of manufacturers will be assessed also and DOE will use an updated version of its Industry Cash Flow model, which has been adapted for this type of product to calculate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small-business manufacturers as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to identify any that may be disproportionally affected by these proposals.
Additionally, DOE will consider whether the test procedures for microwave ovens must be revised to include active mode energy use and an active mode energy use metric. Currently, tests only cover standby mode power consumption.
Design
Wall ovens rely on the circulating of hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause the water molecules in food items to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall ovens combine two distinct appliances into a single unit that can be used to save kitchen space and provides an elegant, modern look. It is important to take into consideration your budget and goals before investing in a combination wall oven. Continuing of the combination wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
