A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility

A microwave oven with best built in combination microwave oven-in features can combine your wall oven and your microwave into a single appliance. They can free up counter space and give your kitchen an elegant appearance.

These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly, and microwaves that heat food quickly. They offer a wide range of options to cook various food items.

Size

Combining the convenience of a microwave in built oven and the flexibility of a wall oven and a built-in microwave and wall oven combination is an efficient solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Browse our selection of wall ovens that combine with microwaves to find the perfect solution for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications for your selected model and the installation guide to be sure it fits in your space. Our microwave and wall oven models include wall oven and microwave models that are available in a range of colors, styles and built in microwave stainless steel finishes to match any style. Look for features like easy and efficient controls, a power cook function and a built in double oven and microwave-in self-cleaning system to help you save time.

Convenience

A built-in microwave oven combo can save space on your kitchen counters and give a stylish design to your space. Because it acts as a microwave and a traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen meals and pre-packaged meals all in one appliance. It can eliminate the necessity of separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. A combination microwave oven could be a great option for those who want to modernize your kitchen without undertaking any major renovations.

Microwave ovens are available in different styles to fit your kitchen decor. Some have a left-to-right swing-out door, while others feature a drop-down style that opens the same way as a traditional oven. There is also microwave ovens that open through a drawer similar to cabinets. The microwave drawers can be easily accessible and are perfect for small spaces.

Combination microwaves also have a variety of features that can make meal preparation easier and more efficient. For instance, some models come with a sensor steam cycle that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure you and market conditions, 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 maximum level of improvements in efficiency that are technically feasible for this product class.

DOE will assess the microwave's design to an energy performance objective that is specified 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 built in microwave stainless steel 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 impacts on consumers for each product category including lifecycle cost savings as well as simple payback time ("PBP"). DOE will use its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").

Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated as well and DOE will use an updated version of its Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified for this product type to estimate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small business manufacturers and other subgroups of manufacturers to identify any that may be affected in a different way by these proposals.

DOE will also look into whether the test procedure for microwave ovens requires to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption as well as an best integrated microwave energy use metric. At present, the tests only provide standby mode power usage.

Design

Microwaves generate heat by causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens are based on the circulation of hot air, while microwaves depend on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall ovens combine these two different appliances into a single unit that can be used to save kitchen space and gives sleek, modern design. But you need to carefully consider your goals and budget before deciding to purchase a combination wall oven. Several of the combination wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
