A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built in microwave oven combo provides the best of both worlds by combining your wall oven and microwave into one device. They can help you save counter space and give your kitchen a stylish look.
These models come with powerful broilers that cook evenly and microwaves that heat food quickly. They also offer a wide variety of cooking options to cook various meals.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a great solution for kitchens with a variety of. It is a combination of the convenience of a microwavable with the flexibility of wall ovens. Browse our full range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the perfect suitable one for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications of the appliance you choose and follow the installation guide to make sure it is suitable for your space. Our microwave & oven combinations include both microwave and oven models in a variety styles, colors and finishes that can be incorporated into any decor. Also, look out for features such as smart and convenient digital controls, a power-cook function, and built-in self-cleaning options that will help you reduce time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combo can free up counter space in your kitchen and provide a modern look to your space. Since it functions as a microwave and traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen foods and pre-packaged meals all in one appliance. It removes the necessity of separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. A microwave-microwave combination can also be a good option for those who want to modernize your kitchen without undergoing any major renovations.
You can find microwave ovens in a variety of styles to match your kitchen decor. Some microwave oven combos have a swing-out right-to-left door or drop-down designs that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also find microwave ovens that have a drawer style that opens as an open cabinet. Microwave drawers can be easily reached and are ideal for small space.
Combination microwaves also come with many features that can help you prepare your meals faster and more practical. Certain models come with the option of a sensor steam mode that adjusts the temperature and time of your food automatically to ensure 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) is meanwhile can grill, bake and crisp food items.
Consider how often you will use each feature when choosing a microwave oven combo. If you'll be using the oven more often than the microwave, you may be better off buying a double wall-oven. It's important to keep in mind that a combo appliance typically has less capacity than a conventional standalone oven.
After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination that meets your requirements, you need to think about the installation. Over-the-range models are mounted over your stove or cooktop and connect to an electrical outlet, while built in microwaves are installed directly into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits to ensure that your new microwave is in line with your existing cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave oven combos are a great option for those with smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can help save the space in cabinets that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and also help reduce energy consumption. They usually provide the most efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens as they tend to use less energy. In addition, they can be used to cook warm and hot dishes, which reduces the need for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.
DOE conducts a variety of analyses when evaluating possible amended energy conservation standards. These include assessments of technology and market, screening analysis, engineering analyses and national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will utilize its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine what degree of efficiency improvement is feasible for this particular product.
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 NIA, DOE will assess the effects on consumers, including cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the simple payback period (PBP). microwave in built will use its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate the industry's net present value ("NPV").
The impact of manufacturers will be assessed 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 for this type of product to calculate the manufacturing NPV. In addition, DOE will consider the potential impacts on small business manufacturers as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to determine if they could be disproportionately affected by these proposals.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption and an energy use metric. The current tests only provide standby mode power usage.
Design
Wall ovens are based on the circulating of hot air while microwaves make use of waves to cause water molecules in food to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall units blend these two appliances into one unit, which is ideal for securing space in the kitchen and providing a modern and sleek design. However, you must carefully consider your goals and budget before investing in a combo wall oven. A few of the combo wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
