Combining the convenience of a microwave oven with the versatility of a wall oven and a built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. Explore our complete selection of combination microwaves and wall ovens to find the best fit for your home. Be sure to check the cutout specifications for your selected model and the installation guide to be sure it is suitable for your space. Our microwave and oven combos include both oven and microwave models in a variety colors, styles and finishes that will complement any decor. Look for features such as easy and efficient controls and a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning system to cut down on time.
Convenience
A microwave oven with built-in features will save you counter space and make your kitchen appear more modern appearance. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food items, and pre-packaged foods. It can also eliminate the need for a separate countertop appliance or large wall ovens that are stand-alone. If you're looking to improve your home without the need for major changes the combination microwave oven is a great choice.
There are microwave oven combos 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 the same way as a traditional oven. You can also find microwave ovens with a drawer style that opens in the same way as cabinets. Microwave drawers are easily accessible and are perfect for small space.
Combination microwaves also come with various features that help you prepare your meals faster and more practical. Some models feature a sensor steam mode that alters the temperature and time of your food in order to ensure that you get perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil feature that allows you to quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish and Crispwave(tm) technology that can grill, bake and crisp foods.
Think about how often you'll use each feature when choosing a microwave-oven combination. If you'll use the oven portion of your combination more often than the microwave, you may be better off with a double wall oven instead. It's also important to remember that a combo appliance typically has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.
Once you've selected the best microwave and oven combination that meets your requirements, you need to consider the installation. Over-the-range models can be positioned over the stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, whereas built in microwaves are installed directly into the cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that let you seamlessly blend your new microwave with your existing kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combination can be an excellent space-saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, regardless of whether they reside in a house or an apartment. They can save cabinet space that would otherwise be occupied by two separate appliances. Additionally, they can also help to reduce energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and provide a more efficient way to cook. They can also be used to cook food and warm food items. This means that there is less necessity for other appliances such as toasters or warming plates.
When evaluating potential amended energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses, including assessment of technology and market, screening analysis, engineering analysis, and a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will draw on its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvements are technologically possible for this product category.
DOE will compare the design of a microwave to 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 impact on consumers, including the cost savings throughout the lifecycle and simple payback time (PBP). DOE will use its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").
DOE will also examine the effects on manufacturers and will employ an altered industry cash flow model adapted to this product type to calculate manufacturing NPV. Finally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small-business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to identify any that may be disproportionately affected by these proposals.
Additionally, DOE will consider whether the test procedures for microwave ovens should be revised to include active mode energy use as well as a possible integrated active mode energy use measure. At present, the test procedures only include standby mode power consumption.
Design
Microwaves generate heat by causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens are based on the circulation of hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into a single unit, saving space in the kitchen and providing a modern and sleek design. But you need to carefully think about your needs and budget before deciding to purchase a combination wall oven. Some of the combination ovens we evaluated have performance or design issues.
