A stainless steel built in microwave in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A stainless steel built in microwave-in microwave oven combo can combine your wall oven and your microwave into one appliance. They can free up space on your countertops and give your kitchen a sleek style.

These models are equipped with powerful broilers that cook food evenly. Their microwaves also heat food quickly. They also offer a wide selection of cooking options different foods.

Size

A built in combination microwave-in microwave and wall oven combination is a perfect solution for many kitchens. It combines the convenience of a microwave with the versatility of wall ovens. Browse our selection of combination wall ovens and microwaves to find the best one for your home. Be sure to check the cutout specifications of your selected model and the installation guide to make sure it fits in your space. Our microwave & wall oven combos include both wall oven and microwave models that are available in a variety of styles, colors, and finishes to match any decor. Look for features like smart and convenient controls, a power cook function, and built-in self-cleaning to save you time.

Convenience

A microwave oven with built-in features will free up space on your counters and give your kitchen a sleeker look. Because it functions as a microwave in addition to a traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen meals and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It removes the necessity for separate appliances for the countertop or large wall ovens. A microwave-microwave combination can also be a good option for those who want to modernize your kitchen without undergoing any major renovations.

Microwave ovens are available in different styles to match the decor of your kitchen. Some have a right-to-left swing-out door, whereas others feature a drop-down style that opens the same way as an ordinary oven. There is also an oven and microwave that opens in a drawer, similar to a cabinet. Microwave drawers are simple to reach and are perfect for smaller spaces where you want to keep your microwave from taking up valuable counter space.

Combination microwaves can also offer a range of features to assist in making meal preparation easier and more practical. For example, some models come with sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure that you get perfectly steamed veggies and fish. Other features include the broil element, which lets you quickly melt cheese and cook your favorite food. Crispwave(tm), meanwhile, can grill, bake, and crisp food.

Consider how often you'll utilize each feature before deciding on a microwave-oven combination. If you'll use the oven part of your combo more frequently than the microwave, you might be better off using an oven with two walls instead. A combo appliance has a smaller capacity than an oven that is a standalone unit.

Once you've decided on an oven and microwave combination to satisfy your needs, think about the installation procedure. Over-the-range models are positioned over your cooktop or stove, and plug into an electrical outlet. Built-in microwaves are installed on walls or cabinets in your kitchen. Certain models have trim kits that match your new microwave to the cabinets you already have.

Energy Efficiency

built-in combination microwave oven and grill microwave ovens are a great option for those who have smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can help save the space in cabinets which would otherwise be taken by separate appliances, and also reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and provide an efficient method to cook. They can also be used to cook food or warm dishes. This reduces the requirement for other appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.

DOE conducts various analyses when evaluating potential amendments to energy conservation standards. These include market and technology assessments screening analyses, engineering analyses, and a national impact assessment (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will use its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine what level of efficiency improvement is possible for this product category.

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 lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback period (PBP). DOE will employ its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate the industry's net present value ("NPV").

DOE will also examine the effects on manufacturers and will use a modified industry cash flow model that is adapted to this product type in order to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also consider the effects of these proposals on small-scale businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to determine those that may be disproportionately affected.

DOE will also examine whether the test procedure for microwave ovens has to be revised to include active mode power consumption as well as a possible black integrated microwave (www.hulkshare.com) energy use metric. The current test procedures only provide standby mode power usage.

Design

Wall ovens are based on the circulation of hot air evenly while microwaves use waves to cause the water molecules in food to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall units blend these two appliances into a single unit, [empty] saving space in the kitchen while providing a modern and sleek design. You should carefully consider your budget and goals before investing in a combination wall oven. Several of the combination wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
