A built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a fantastic solution for kitchens with a variety of. It offers the convenience of a microwave with the versatility of wall ovens. Browse our full range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the perfect fit for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications for your chosen unit and the installation guide to make sure it is suitable for your space. Our microwave & wall oven combinations feature both microwave and wall oven models that are available in a range of colors, styles and finishes that will complement any decor. Also, look out for features such as modern and efficient electronic controls, a power-cook function, and built-in self-cleaning options to help reduce time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combination can save space on kitchen counters and add a sleek design to your space. Since it functions as a microwave in addition to a traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen food items and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It eliminates the necessity of separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. If you are looking to upgrade your home without having to do major remodeling the combination microwave oven is a great choice.
Microwave oven combos are available in a variety of different styles to match your kitchen decor. Some microwave oven combos have doors that swing open from right to left and others have drop-down designs that open in the same way as traditional ovens. There is also microwave ovens that have the drawer design that opens in the same way as an open cabinet. The microwave drawers can be easily reached and are ideal for small spaces.
Combination microwaves also come with various features that assist in making meal preparation easier and more convenient. For example, some models come with a sensor steam cycle that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure you receive perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil element which allows you to quickly melt cheese and cook your favorite food. Crispwave(tm) in turn, can grill, bake and crisp food.
When choosing a microwave combination, be sure to think about how often you’ll be using each function. If you will be using the oven more often than the microwave, you may be better off buying a double integrated oven with microwave wall-oven. It’s important to keep in mind that a combo appliance typically has less capacity than a conventional standalone oven.
After you’ve selected a microwave and oven combo to meet your needs, you should think about the installation process. Over-the-range models are installed over the stovetop or cooktop, and plug into the power outlet. Built-in microwaves are installed into cabinets or walls in your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that allow you to effortlessly integrate your new microwave into your existing kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built in microwaves in microwave oven combination can be an excellent space-saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they reside in a house or an apartment. They can free up the space that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and also help reduce energy consumption. They typically offer a more efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens since they consume less energy. In addition, they can be used to cook both warm and hot dishes, eliminating the necessity for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.
DOE performs several analyses when evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards. These include technology and market assessments, screening analyses, engineering analyses and a national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will utilize its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine what level of efficiency improvements are feasible for this product type.
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 effects on consumers, including cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the simple payback time (PBP). DOE will use the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for ovens that can be microwaved to calculate the industry net present value (NPV).
DOE will also examine the impact on manufacturers and will use an industry-specific cash flow model specifically tailored to this type of product to calculate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the impacts of these plans on small businesses and other manufacturing subgroups to identify those who are likely to be affected.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens has to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption and a possible integrated microwave combi oven energy use measurement. The current test procedures only deal with the standby mode power usage.
Design
Wall ovens are based on the circulating of hot air while microwaves make use of waves to cause the water molecules in food to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall ovens combine these two very different appliances into one unit that helps save kitchen space and gives an elegant, modern look. But you need to carefully think about your needs and budget before deciding to purchase a combination wall integrated oven and microwave. A few of the combo wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
