A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built in microwave oven combo gives you the best of both worlds by making your wall oven and microwave into one device. They can save counter space and give your kitchen a stylish look.
These models are equipped with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. Their microwaves also have the ability to heat food quickly. They also have a wide variety of cooking options to cook different foods.
Size
Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the versatility of wall ovens with a built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a practical solution for many kitchens. Explore our collection of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the best solution for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the model you select to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave and oven combos include both microwave and oven models in a variety styles, colors and finishes that will match any decor. Also, look for features such as modern and efficient digital controls, a power-cook function and built in self-cleaning options to help reduce time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combo will free up counter space and make your kitchen appear more modern appearance. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food items, and packaged food items. It also eliminates the requirement for a separate countertop appliance or large wall ovens that are stand-alone. If you are looking to upgrade your home without having to do major remodeling the combination microwave oven is a great choice.
You can find microwave ovens that come in various styles to match your kitchen's decor. Certain microwave oven combos come with doors that swing out right to left and others have drop-down designs that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also purchase a microwave-oven combo that opens through a drawer like a cabinet. Microwave drawers are easily accessible and are perfect for small space.
Combination microwaves also come with a variety of features that make meal preparation easier and more convenient. Some models have sensors that allow you to steam your food. This feature alters the temperature and time of your food in order to ensure you get perfectly steamed vegetables and fish. Other features include the broil element which allows you to quickly melt cheese and brown your favorite food. Crispwave(tm), meanwhile, can grill, bake, and crisp food items.
Think about how often you'll use each feature when choosing the microwave oven combination. If you'll be using the oven portion of your combination more often than the microwave, you might prefer a double wall oven. A combo oven has less capacity than a standalone oven.
Once you've decided on a microwave and oven combo to meet your needs, you should think about the installation procedure. Over-the-range models are mounted over the stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, while built-in microwaves can be plugged directly into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models have trim kits that make your microwave match the cabinets you already have.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave oven combos are a great option for those who have smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can save the space which would otherwise be taken by separate appliances. They can also reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and provide the most efficient method to cook. builtin microwave can also be used to cook warm and hot dishes, which reduces the need for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.
DOE conducts various analyses when evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards. These include technology and market assessments screening analysis, engineering analyses and national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the best level of improvements in efficiency that are technically feasible for this product class.
DOE will assess the microwave's design 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 NIA, DOE will assess the impact on consumers, including the 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 microwavable ovens, to calculate the industry's net present value (NPV).
Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated also and DOE will use a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model, which has been adapted for this type of product to calculate the manufacturing NPV. Finally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small-business manufacturers as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to determine if they could be affected in a different way by these proposals.
In addition, DOE will consider whether the testing procedures for microwave ovens need to be updated to include active mode energy usage and an integrated active mode energy use metric. Currently, 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 the water molecules in food items to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall units blend both appliances into one unit, reducing space in the kitchen while providing a modern and sleek design. But you need to carefully consider your goals and budget before deciding to purchase a combination wall oven. Some of the combination ovens we evaluated have design or performance issues.
