A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A microwave oven that is built-in combines your wall oven with your microwave into one appliance. They can free up space on your countertops and give your kitchen a modern style.
These models come with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. Their microwaves also have the ability to heat food quickly. These models offer a range of cooking options for different dishes.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a fantastic solution for kitchens of all kinds. It combines the convenience of a microwave with the flexibility of wall ovens. Explore our entire range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the right fit for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation guide for the appliance you choose to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave and wall oven combinations feature both microwave and wall oven models that are available in a range of styles, colors, and finishes to complement any style. Also, look for Built-in Microwaves as modern and efficient electronic controls, a power-cook function, and built-in self-cleaning options to help you save time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combo can free up space on kitchen counters and add a sleek appearance to your kitchen. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food, and packaged food items. It can also eliminate the need for an additional countertop appliance or bulky stand-alone wall oven. A microwave-microwave combination can also be a good option for those who want to modernize your kitchen without undergoing any major renovation projects.
Microwave ovens are available in a variety of different styles to fit your kitchen 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. There is also microwave ovens with the drawer design that opens in the same way as a cabinet. Microwave drawers can be easily reached and are great for small space.
Combination microwaves can also provide various features that aid in meal preparation and more efficient. Some models have sensors that allow you to steam your food. This feature adjusts the temperature and time of your food automatically to ensure you get perfectly steamed vegetables and fish. next include the broil element, that allows you to swiftly melt cheese and cook your favorite food. Crispwave(tm), meanwhile, can grill, bake and crisp food.
Consider how often you'll use each feature when choosing a microwave-oven combination. If you'll be using the oven component of your combo more than the microwave, you may prefer a double wall oven instead. It's also important to remember that a combination appliance generally has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.
After you've chosen the right microwave and oven combo for your needs, it's time to consider the installation. Over-the-range models mount over your stove or cooktop and plug into an electrical outlet, while built in microwaves are installed directly into cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that let you effortlessly match your new microwave with your existing kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave ovens are a great option for those with smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can free up space in cabinets that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and can also cut down on energy usage. They usually provide the most efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, since they consume less energy. They can also be used to cook food and warm food items. This eliminates the necessity for other appliances such as toasters or warming plates.
DOE performs several analyses when evaluating possible amended energy conservation standards. These include market and technology assessments, screening analyses, engineering analyses, and a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its existing engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the highest efficiency improvements that are technically feasible for this product class.
In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave to an energy performance set of 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 effects on consumers, such as the lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback period (PBP). DOE will use the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens to calculate the industry net present value (NPV).
The impact on manufacturers will be evaluated as well as the impact on manufacturers will be evaluated. DOE will employ an updated version of its Industry Cash Flow model adapted to this particular product type to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the impacts of these plans on small-scale businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to identify those that may be disproportionately affected.
Additionally, DOE will consider whether the tests for microwave ovens should be revised to include active mode energy use as well as an active mode energy use measurement. Currently, tests only include standby mode power consumption.
Design
Microwaves create heat by causing water molecules to 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 units combine these two appliances into a single unit, reducing space in the kitchen while providing a modern and sleek design. But you need to carefully consider your goals and budget before investing in a combo wall oven. Several of the combination wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
