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 up space on your countertops and give your kitchen a sleek aesthetic.
These models come with powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves heat food quickly. They offer a wide range of cooking options for different dishes.
Size
A built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a fantastic solution for kitchens with a variety of. It combines the convenience of a microwavable with the versatility of wall ovens. Browse our full range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the perfect suitable one for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications and the installation guide for the model you select to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave and oven combos include both microwave and oven models with a variety of designs, colors and styles that will complement any decor. Look for features such as simple and easy controls, a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning feature to help you save time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven can save space on your counters and give your kitchen a sleeker look. Because ovensandhobs acts as a microwave in addition to a traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen food items and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It removes the need for separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. If you're looking to improve your home without the need for major changes the combination microwave oven is a great option.
You can find microwave ovens in various designs to fit your kitchen's decor. Certain microwave oven combos come with a swing-out right-to-left door and others have drop-down designs that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also find microwave ovens that have an open-type drawer that opens as cabinets. Microwave drawers are simple to reach and are ideal for small spaces where you want to keep your microwave from taking up valuable counter space.
Combination microwaves also come with various features that aid in meal preparation and more efficient. For instance, certain models come with sensors that allow you to steam your food and automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure you receive perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil feature, which lets you quickly melt cheese and brown your favorite dish. Crispwave(tm), meanwhile, can cook, grill, and crisp food.
Consider how often you will make use of each feature when choosing the microwave oven combination. If you'll use the oven more frequently than the micro, you might prefer a double wall-oven. A combo appliance is smaller in capacity than an individual oven.
When you've chosen the right microwave and oven combination to meet your needs, you should think about the installation process. Over-the-range models are installed over your stovetop or cooktop and connect to an electrical outlet. Built-in microwaves can be incorporated on walls or cabinets in your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits to match your new microwave to the cabinets you already have.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combo can provide 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 in cabinets that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and can also help reduce energy consumption. They generally provide a more efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, since they consume less energy. 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.
When evaluating potential amended energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses that include market and technology assessment, screening analysis, engineering analysis and national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the best level of improvements in efficiency that are technically feasible for this particular product class.
In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave to an energy performance set of 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 impact on consumers, including lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback period (PBP). DOE will use the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens, to calculate the industry net present value (NPV).
DOE will also evaluate the impacts on manufacturers, and will use an industry-specific cash flow model specifically tailored to this type of product to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also examine the effects of these proposals on small businesses and other manufacturing subgroups to determine those who could be most affected.
In addition, DOE will consider whether the test procedures for microwave ovens must be revised to include active mode energy use and a possible integrated active mode energy use metric. Currently, the test procedures only deal with the standby mode power usage.
Design
Wall ovens are based on the circulation of hot air evenly while microwaves rely on waves to cause water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall ovens combine these two distinct appliances into a single unit that saves kitchen space and provides a sleek, modern aesthetic. You must carefully consider your budget and goals before deciding on a combination wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we evaluated have design or performance issues.
