A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo provides the best of both worlds by making your microwave and oven into one unit. They can save space on your counters and give your kitchen a classy look.
These models come with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. Their microwaves also have the ability to heat food quickly. They also offer a wide variety of cooking options to cook different foods.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a perfect solution for kitchens with a variety of. It combines 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 fit for your home. Make sure you check the cutout specifications for the appliance you choose and follow the installation guide to be sure it fits in your space. Our microwave and wall oven combinations feature both wall oven and microwave models that are available in a range of colors, styles and finishes to complement any decor. Look for features like smart and convenient controls and a power cook function, and built-in self-cleaning to help you save time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combo can free up space on kitchen counters and add a sleek design to your space. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food items, and pre-packaged foods. It also eliminates the need for an additional countertop appliance or large wall ovens that are stand-alone. A combination microwave oven could also be a good option when you are looking to improve your kitchen without having to undergo any major renovation projects.
Microwave ovens are available in different styles to fit the decor of your kitchen. Some have a left-to-right swing-out door, whereas others feature a drop-down style that opens the same way as a traditional oven. You can also get an oven and microwave that opens in a drawer, like a cabinet. Microwave drawers are easily reached and are ideal for small space.
Combination microwaves also have many features that can help you prepare your meals faster and more convenient. Some models feature the option of a sensor steam mode that alters the temperature and time of your food in order to ensure perfectly steamed vegetables and fish. Other features include a broil element that lets you quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish and Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill, bake and crisp foods.
When choosing a microwave combination, make sure to take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll be using the oven more than the micro, you may be better off buying an oven that doubles as a wall. A combo oven has less capacity than a standalone oven.
Once you've decided on an oven and microwave combination to meet your needs, you should think about the installation process. Over-the-range models are mounted over your cooktop or stove and connect to an electrical outlet, whereas built-in microwaves can be plugged directly into the cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that let you seamlessly match your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combo is an excellent space-saving option for those with smaller kitchens, regardless of whether they live in a home or an apartment. They can save the space which would otherwise be taken by separate appliances, and can also cut down on energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and provide a more efficient way to cook. oven with integrated microwave can also be used to cook food or warm meals. This reduces the requirement for other appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.
DOE performs several analyses when evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards. These include assessments of technology and market screening analysis, engineering analyses and a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will utilize its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvement is feasible for this product type.
In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave against 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 effects on consumers for each product class including lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback period ("PBP"). DOE will utilize the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for ovens that can be microwaved to calculate the industry's net present value (NPV).
The impact on manufacturers will be evaluated also, and DOE will use a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified for this product type to calculate manufacturing NPV. Finally, DOE will consider the potential impacts on small business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to determine if they could be disproportionally affected by these proposals.
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 integrated energy use metric. Currently, test procedures only provide standby mode power usage.
Design
Wall ovens are based on the circulation of hot air evenly while microwaves rely on waves to cause the water molecules in food to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall ovens combine two very different appliances into a single unit that can be used to save kitchen space and gives sleek, modern design. It is important to take into consideration your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. Some of the combination ovens we reviewed have performance or design issues.
