A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A microwave oven with built-in features incorporates your wall oven and your microwave into a single appliance. built in microwaves can help you save counter space and give your kitchen an elegant appearance.
These models are equipped with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. Their microwaves also heat food quickly. These models offer a range of options to cook various foods.
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 collection of wall ovens that combine with microwaves to find the ideal solution for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications and installation guide for the appliance you choose to ensure it will work in your space. Our microwave & oven combinations include both microwave and oven models in a variety styles, colors and finishes that will match any decor. Also, look out for features like modern and efficient digital controls, a power cook function and built in self-cleaning options to help you save time.
Convenience
A microwave oven with built-in features will save you space on your counters and make your kitchen appear more modern appearance. Since it functions as a microwave and traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen meals and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It can eliminate the necessity of separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. If you're looking to improve your home without having to undertake major renovations the combination microwave oven is a great choice.
There are microwave ovens in a variety of designs to fit your kitchen's decor. Some have a left-to-right swing-out door, whereas others have a drop-down design that opens in the same manner as an ordinary oven. You can also find microwave ovens with an open-type drawer that opens like cabinets. Microwave drawers are easy to reach and are perfect for small spaces where you need to minimize the use of counter space.
Combination microwaves can also provide various features that assist in making meal preparation easier and more efficient. For example, some models have sensors that allow you to steam your food and automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure that you get perfectly steamed veggies and fish. Other features include the broil element, that allows you to swiftly melt cheese and brown your favorite food. Crispwave(tm) in turn, can cook, grill, and crisp food.
Consider how often you will utilize each feature before deciding on the microwave oven combination. If you'll use the oven part of your combination more often than the microwave, you might be better off with a double wall oven. A combo oven has less capacity than an individual oven.
After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination that meets your requirements, you need to consider the installation. Over-the-range models are positioned over the stovetop or cooktop, and plug into an electrical outlet. Built-in microwaves are inserted into cabinets or walls in your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that let you seamlessly blend your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave ovens are a great option for those who have smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can free up the space that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and can also cut down on energy usage. They typically offer a more efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens since they consume less energy. In addition, they can be used to cook both warm and hot dishes, reducing the need for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.
When evaluating possible amendments to energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses that include assessment of technology and market conditions screening analysis, engineering analysis, and a national impact analysis (NIA). In integrated combination microwave , DOE will draw on its engineering analysis of 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 against a set of energy performance 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 NIA, DOE will assess the impacts on consumers, such as the cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the simple payback time (PBP). DOE will use the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable 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 that is specifically tailored to this type of product in order to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also consider the impact of these proposals on small-scale businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to identify those who could be most affected.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens requires to be revised to include active mode power consumption and an energy use measurement. The current test procedures only deal with the standby mode power usage.
Design
Wall ovens rely on the circulating of hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause water molecules in food items to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall units blend both appliances into one unit, reducing space in the kitchen while providing a modern and sleek design. You should carefully consider your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we reviewed have design or performance issues.
