A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built in microwave oven combo offers the best of both worlds by combining your wall oven and microwave into one unit. They can save counter space and give your kitchen a classy appearance.
These models have powerful broilers that cook evenly, and microwaves that heat food quickly. They also come with a broad selection of cooking options different foods.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a perfect solution for kitchens with a variety of. It is a combination of the convenience of a microwave with the versatility of wall ovens. Explore our complete range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the best option for your home. Be sure to check the cutout specifications of the appliance you choose and follow the installation guide to be sure it fits in your space. Our microwave & wall oven combinations feature both wall oven and microwave models that come in a variety of styles, colors and finishes to match any style. Also, look for features like modern and efficient digital controls, a power cook function and built in self-cleaning options that will help you reduce time.
Convenience
A microwave oven with built-in features will free up counter space and give your kitchen a more sleek look. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food, and packaged food items. It can also eliminate the need for a separate countertop appliance or large wall ovens that are stand-alone. If you want to upgrade your home without the need for major changes, a combination microwave oven is a great choice.
You can find microwave ovens in a variety of designs to fit your kitchen's decor. Some come with a swing-out right-to-left door, whereas others have a drop-down design that opens in the same manner as a traditional oven. There is also a microwave-oven combo that opens inside a drawer, similar to a cabinet. Microwave drawers are easily reached and are great for small spaces.
Combination microwaves also come with many features that simplify meal preparation and make it more convenient. Certain models come with 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 a broil element that allows you to quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food and Crispwave(tm) technology that can grill or bake food and make it crisp.
When choosing a microwave combination, make sure to take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll use the oven more often than the microwave, you may prefer an oven that doubles as a wall. A combo oven has a smaller capacity than an individual oven.
After you've selected the right microwave and oven combination to satisfy your needs, think about the installation process. Over-the-range models are positioned over your stovetop or cooktop and connected to the power outlet. Built-in microwaves can be incorporated on walls or cabinets in your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that allow you to seamlessly blend your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave ovens are a great option for those who have smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can help save cabinet space that would normally be occupied by two separate appliances and they can also help to reduce energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and offer a more efficient way to cook. They can also be used to cook food or warm food items. This means that there is less need for other appliances like toasters or warming plates.
DOE conducts various analyses when evaluating possible amended energy conservation standards. These include market and technology assessments screening analyses, engineering analyses and national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will draw on its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine what degree of efficiency improvement is feasible for this particular product.
In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave to a set of energy performance objectives. 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 ovens that can be microwaved to calculate the industry's net present value (NPV).
DOE will also examine the impact on manufacturers and will employ an industry-specific cash flow model that is adapted to this product type in order to estimate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small-business manufacturers as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to identify any that may be affected in a different way by these proposals.
Additionally, DOE will consider whether the tests for microwave ovens need to be updated to include active mode energy use and a possible integrated active mode energy use measure. At present, the test procedures only provide standby mode power usage.
Design
Wall ovens are based on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves make use of waves to cause water molecules in food to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall units blend these two appliances into one unit, reducing space in the kitchen while providing a modern and sleek design. You must carefully think about your budget and needs before purchasing a combination wall oven. Some of the combination ovens we evaluated have design or performance issues.
