A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo incorporates your wall oven and your microwave into one unit. They can help free space on your counters and provide your kitchen with a sleek design.
These models are equipped with powerful broilers that cook food evenly. They also heat food quickly. These models have a variety of options to cook different food items.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a perfect solution for kitchens of all kinds. It combines the convenience of a microwavable with the flexibility of wall ovens. Browse our full range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the perfect option for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications for your chosen unit and the installation guide to be sure it is suitable for your space. Our microwave and oven sets include both microwave and oven models with a variety of colors, styles and finishes that will complement any decor. Look for features such as simple and easy controls as well as a power cook feature and a built-in self-cleaning feature to save you time.
Convenience
A microwave oven with built-in features can save space on your counters and give your kitchen a more sleek look. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food items, and packaged food items. It also eliminates the requirement for an additional countertop appliance or bulky stand-alone wall oven. A combination microwave oven can also be a good choice when you are looking to improve your kitchen without having to undergo any major renovations.
You can find microwave oven combos in a variety of styles to match the decor of your kitchen. Certain microwave oven combos come with doors that swing out right to left and others have drop-down designs that open in the same way as traditional ovens. You can also find a microwave oven combo with a drawer style that opens as cabinets. Microwave drawers are simple to reach and are perfect for small spaces where you want to minimize the use of counter space.
Combination microwaves can also provide various features that assist in making meal preparation easier and more efficient. For example, some models come with sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure you receive perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil feature, that allows you to swiftly melt cheese and cook your favorite food. Crispwave(tm) in turn, can cook, grill, and crisp food.
When selecting a microwave oven combination, make sure to take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll use the oven more frequently than the microwave, you may be better off buying a double wall-oven. A combo appliance has less capacity than an oven that is a standalone unit.
After you've chosen the right microwave and oven combination that meets your needs, it's time to consider the installation. Over-the range models are mounted over the stovetop or cooktop and connected to an electrical outlet. built in microwaves -in microwaves are installed into cabinets or walls in your kitchen. Some models include trim kits to match your new microwave to the cabinets you already have.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave ovens are a great option for those who have smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can help to save on the space in cabinets that would be occupied by two separate appliances and they can also help to reduce energy usage. They generally provide an efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, as they tend to use less energy. They can also be used to cook food and warm food items. This reduces the need for other 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 a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its existing engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the highest level of efficiency improvements that are technically feasible for this product category.
DOE will evaluate the design of a microwave with 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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the effects on consumers for each product category, including lifecycle cost savings as well as simple payback time ("PBP"). DOE will employ its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").
DOE will also assess the impact on manufacturers and will employ a modified industry cash flow model modified to fit this particular product to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the impacts of these plans on small-scale businesses as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to identify those who could be most affected.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens requires to be revised to include active mode power consumption and an integrated energy use metric. Currently, the test protocols only cover the use of standby mode power.
Design
Microwaves create 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 blend these two appliances into a single unit, which is ideal for securing space in the kitchen while providing a modern and sleek design. It is important to take into consideration your budget and goals before deciding on a combination wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we evaluated have design or performance issues.
