A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built in microwave oven combo gives you the best of both worlds by combining your microwave and oven into one appliance. They can free space on your countertops and give your kitchen a modern design.
These models come with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. They also heat food quickly. These models offer a range of cooking options for different foods.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a perfect solution for kitchens of all kinds. It combines the convenience of a microwavable with the flexibility of wall ovens. Explore our range of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the ideal solution for your home. Be sure to read the cutout specifications and installation guide for the appliance you choose to ensure it will work in your space. Our microwave & wall oven combinations feature both wall oven and microwave models that are available in a variety of styles, colors and finishes to match any decor. Also, look for features such as intelligent and easy-to-use digital controls, a power-cook function and built in self-cleaning options that will help you reduce time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven will save you counter space and give your kitchen a more sleek look. Because it acts as a microwave in addition to a traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen meals and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It also eliminates the requirement for an additional countertop appliance or a large wall ovens that are stand-alone. If you are looking to upgrade your home without the need for major changes the combination microwave oven is a great option.
Microwave ovens can be found in many different styles to match the decor of your kitchen. Certain microwave oven combos come with doors that swing open from right to left and others have drop-down designs that open in the same way as traditional ovens. You can also find a microwave oven combo with an open-type drawer that opens as an open cabinet. Microwave drawers are easily reached and are ideal for small space.
Combination microwaves also come with various features to help make meal prep easier and more practical. For instance, certain models come with a sensor steam cycle that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure you receive perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil feature, which lets you quickly melt cheese and cook your favorite food. integrated wall unit microwave (tm) is meanwhile can grill, bake, and crisp food items.
When selecting a microwave oven combination, make sure to take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll use the oven component of your combination more often than the microwave, you may be better off with a double wall oven instead. It's also important to note that a combo appliance typically has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.
After you've selected an oven and microwave combination to meet your needs, you should think about the installation process. Over-the-range models mount over the stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, whereas built in microwaves are installed directly into the cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models have trim kits that make your microwave match your existing cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built in microwave oven combo can provide an excellent space-saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they live in a home or apartment. They can help save the space which would otherwise be taken by separate appliances, and also reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and provide the most efficient method to cook. In addition, they can be used to cook both warm and hot dishes, reducing the need for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.
DOE conducts a variety of analyses when evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards. These include technology and market assessments, screening analyses, engineering analyses and a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its existing engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the highest level of improvements in efficiency that are technologically feasible for this particular product class.
DOE will evaluate the design of a microwave with 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 impact on consumers of every product category, including lifecycle cost savings and simple payback time ("PBP"). DOE will use the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for ovens that can be microwaved to determine the industry's net present value (NPV).
Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated as well as the impact on manufacturers will be evaluated. DOE will employ a modified version of its Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified to this particular product type to calculate the manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small-business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to determine if they could be disproportionately affected by these proposals.
DOE will also look into whether the test procedure for microwave ovens requires to be revised to include active mode power consumption and an energy use metric. Currently, the test protocols only deal with standby mode power use.
Design
Wall ovens are based on the circulating of hot air while microwaves use waves to cause water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall ovens combine two distinct appliances into a single unit that helps save kitchen space and provides sleek, modern design. It is important to consider your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we evaluated have design or performance issues.
