A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility A built-in microwave oven combo incorporates your wall oven and your microwave into one appliance. They can help you save space on your counters and give your kitchen a stylish appearance. These models are equipped with powerful broilers that cook food evenly. They also heat food quickly. They also come with a broad selection of cooking options 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 combination is a great solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Explore our complete selection of combination microwaves and wall ovens to find the right fit for your home. Be sure to read the cutout specifications and installation guide for your chosen unit to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave & wall oven combinations feature both wall oven and microwave models that are available in a range of colors, styles and finishes that will complement any decor. Also, look for features like intelligent and easy-to-use electronic controls, a power-cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options to help reduce time. Convenience A built in microwave oven combo can save space on your kitchen counters and add a sleek look to your space. Because it acts as a microwave and traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen meals and pre-packaged meals all in one appliance. It can eliminate the need for separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. A combination microwave oven could also be a good choice for those who want to modernize your kitchen without having to undergo any major renovation projects. Microwave ovens are available in different styles to match your kitchen decor. Some microwave oven combos feature doors that swing out right to left and others have drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also find microwave ovens that have a drawer style that opens in the same way as a cabinet. The microwave drawers are easy to reach and are great for small spaces where you need to avoid taking up valuable counter space. Combination microwaves are also equipped with many features that make meal preparation easier and more convenient. For instance, some models come with sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure that you receive perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil feature, that allows you to swiftly melt cheese and cook your favorite food. Crispwave™ is meanwhile, can grill, bake, and crisp food. When selecting a microwave oven combination, be sure to think about how often you'll be using each function. If you will be using the oven more frequently than the micro, you might be better off buying an extra wall oven. It's also important to remember that a combo appliance typically has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven. After you've chosen the right microwave and oven combination for your needs, it's time to think about how you will install it. Over-the-range models can be positioned over the stove or cooktop and connect to an electrical outlet, whereas built in microwaves are installed directly into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that let you effortlessly integrate your new microwave into your existing kitchen cabinets. Energy Efficiency A built in microwave oven combo is an ideal space-saving solution for those with smaller kitchens, regardless of whether they reside in a house or apartment. They can help to save the space in cabinets that would be occupied by two separate appliances, and they can also help to reduce energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and provide a more efficient way to cook. In addition, they can be used to cook warm and hot dishes, which reduces the need for additional appliances like 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 a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will use its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine what degree of efficiency improvements are feasible for this particular product. In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave with 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 impact on consumers, including cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the simple payback period (PBP). DOE will employ the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for ovens that can be microwaved to calculate the industry net present value (NPV). DOE will also evaluate the impacts on manufacturers, and will use an altered industry cash flow model that is adapted to this product type to estimate manufacturing NPV. Finally, DOE will consider the potential impacts on small business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to determine if they could be disproportionately affected by these proposals. In addition, DOE will consider whether the tests for microwave ovens must be updated to include active mode energy use and an active mode energy use metric. Currently, test procedures only include standby mode power consumption. 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 combine two very different appliances into a single unit that saves kitchen space and offers a sleek, modern aesthetic. But you need to carefully consider your goals and budget before deciding to purchase a combination wall oven. Many of the combination wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
