A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo can combine your wall oven and your microwave into a single appliance. They can save space on your counters and give your kitchen an elegant look.
integrated microwave have powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves heat food quickly. These models have a variety of options to cook various foods.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a great solution for kitchens with a variety of. It combines the convenience of a microwavable with the versatility of wall ovens. Explore our entire selection of combination microwaves and wall ovens to find the perfect suitable one for your home. Be sure to read the cutout specifications and installation instructions for the appliance you choose to ensure it will work in your space. Our microwave and oven sets include both microwave and oven models in a variety colors, styles and finishes that will match any decor. Also, look out for features such as intelligent and easy-to-use digital controls, a power cook function and built in self-cleaning options to help reduce time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combo can free up counter space in your kitchen and provide a modern look to your space. Since it functions as a microwave and a traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen foods and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It eliminates the necessity for separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. A combination microwave oven can be a great option for those who want to modernize your kitchen without undertaking any major renovation projects.
Microwave oven combos are available in different styles to match the decor of your kitchen. Some have a right-to-left swing-out door, while others feature a drop-down design that opens in the same manner as a traditional oven. There is also a microwave oven combo with a drawer style that opens as cabinets. The microwave drawers can be easily reached and are ideal for small spaces.
Combination microwaves also come with various features that simplify meal preparation and make it more practical. For instance, certain models have sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure that you receive perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil feature, which lets you quickly melt cheese and brown your favorite dish. Crispwave(tm) in turn, can grill, bake, and crisp food items.
When choosing a microwave oven combination, you should consider how often you'll use each function. If you'll use the oven more than the microwave, you may be better off buying a double wall-oven. It's also important to remember that a combination appliance generally has less capacity than a conventional standalone oven.
After you've selected an oven and microwave combination to meet your needs, you should think about the installation process. Over-the-range models mount 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 come with trim kits that allow you to effortlessly integrate your new microwave into your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combination can be an ideal space-saving solution for those with smaller kitchens, whether they are in a house or an apartment. They can help save cabinet space that would otherwise be occupied by two separate appliances and they can also help reduce energy usage. They usually provide a more efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, because they use less energy. They can also be used to cook warm and hot dishes, eliminating the requirement for additional appliances like 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 national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its existing engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the best level of improvements in efficiency that are technologically feasible for this product category.
In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave to a set of energy performance 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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the impact on consumers of each product class, including lifecycle cost savings as well as simple payback periods ("PBP"). DOE will utilize its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").
DOE will also examine the impacts on manufacturers, and will use an industry-specific cash flow model that is adapted to this product type to calculate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the effects of these proposals on small businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to determine those that may be disproportionately affected.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be revised to include active mode power consumption as well as an energy use metric. The current tests only cover standby mode power consumption.
Design
Microwaves generate heat by causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens depend on the circulation of hot air, while microwaves rely on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall units blend both appliances into one unit, which is ideal for securing space in the kitchen and offering a sleek modern aesthetic. However, it is important to consider your goals and budget before purchasing a combination wall oven. Several of the combination wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
