A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A built-in microwave oven combo combines your wall oven with your microwave into one appliance. They can help you save space on your counters and give your kitchen an elegant appearance.

These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves heat food quickly. These models offer a range of options to cook different foods.

Size

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the flexibility of an oven on a wall, a built in microwave and wall oven combination is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. Explore our entire range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the best fit for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications of your chosen unit and the installation guide to be sure it will fit in your space. Our microwave and oven integrated and oven sets include microwave and oven models with a variety of styles, colors and finishes that can be incorporated into any decor. Also, look out for features such as intelligent and easy-to-use electronic controls, a power-cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options to help you save time.

Convenience

A built-in microwave oven will free up counter space and make your kitchen appear more modern look. Because it acts as a microwave and traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen foods and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It also eliminates the requirement for an additional countertop appliance or bulky stand-alone wall oven. A combination microwave oven could also be a good option for those who want to modernize your kitchen without having to undergo any major renovations.

Microwave oven combos are available in a variety of different styles to suit your kitchen's decor. Certain microwave in built oven combos come with doors that swing open from right to left and others have drop-down designs that open the same way as traditional ovens. There is also an oven and microwave that opens inside a drawer, like a cabinet. Microwave drawers are easy to reach and are ideal for small spaces where you want to keep your microwave from taking up valuable counter space.

Combination microwaves also have various features that simplify meal preparation and make it more practical. For instance, some models come with sensors that allow you to steam your food and automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure you receive perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil element that lets you quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish and Crispwave(tm) technology that can grill food items, bake and crisp them.

Think about how often you'll utilize each feature before deciding on a microwave-oven combination. If you'll use the oven more often than the micro, you may be better off buying a double wall-oven. A combo oven has a smaller capacity than a standalone oven.

After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination for your requirements, you need to think about how you will install it. Over-the-range models can be positioned over your stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, whereas built-in microwaves are inserted directly into cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Certain models include trim kits to match your new microwave to the cabinets you already have.

Energy Efficiency

A built in microwave oven combination can be an excellent space-saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they reside in a house or apartment. They can free up the space in cabinets that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and can also reduce energy consumption. They usually provide the most efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens as they tend to use less energy. They can also be used to cook food and warm meals. This reduces the need for other appliances like toasters or warming plates.

DOE performs several analyses when evaluating potential amendments to energy conservation standards. These include assessments of technology and market, screening analyses, engineering analyses, and national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the highest level of efficiency improvements that are technically feasible for this product class.

DOE will assess the design of a microwave to the energy performance goals set 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 class, including lifecycle cost savings as well as simple payback time ("PBP"). DOE will use 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 industry-specific cash flow model that is specifically tailored to this type of product 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 testing procedures for microwave ovens should be updated to include active mode energy use as well as an active mode energy use measurement. Currently, the test procedures only address the standby mode power usage.

Design

Microwaves generate heat through the process of causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens are based on the circulation of hot air while microwaves integrated rely on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall units blend both appliances into one unit, saving space in the kitchen while giving a modern, sleek look. It is important to consider your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we rated have design or performance issues.
