A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo can combine your wall oven and your microwave into one appliance. They can save space on your counters and give your kitchen a stylish appearance.
These models come with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. Their microwaves also allow food to be cooked quickly. These models offer a range of options to cook various foods.

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the flexibility of a wall oven with a built-in microwave and wall oven is a great solution for many kitchens. Explore combination microwave oven built-in of combination wall ovens and microwaves to find the perfect one for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications of the appliance you choose and follow the installation guide to make sure it is suitable for your space. Our microwave and wall oven models include wall oven and microwave models that come in a variety of styles, colors and finishes to match any style. Also, look out for features like smart and convenient digital controls, a power cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options to help you save time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combo can free up space on your kitchen counters and add a sleek look to your space. Since it functions as a microwave and a traditional oven it is able to heat leftovers, frozen meals and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It eliminates the necessity of separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. If you're looking to improve your home without having to undertake major renovations the combination microwave oven is a great option.
Microwave ovens can be found in many different styles to fit the decor of your kitchen. Some microwave oven combos feature doors that swing open from right to left or drop-down designs that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also find microwave ovens with the drawer design that opens as a cabinet. Microwave drawers are simple to reach and are great for small spaces where you need to minimize the use of counter space.
Combination microwaves can also offer a range of features to help make meal prep easier and more practical. For instance, some models have sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure you receive perfectly steamed veggies and fish. Other features include a broil feature that lets you quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill, bake and crisp foods.
Consider how often you'll utilize each feature before deciding on a microwave-oven combination. If you'll be using the oven portion of your combo more than the microwave, you might be better off with an oven with two walls instead. A combo appliance has a smaller capacity than an individual oven.
After you've chosen the right microwave and oven combination for your requirements, you need to consider the installation. Over-the-range models can be positioned over your cooktop or stove and plug into an electrical outlet, whereas built-in microwaves can be plugged directly into cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that let you effortlessly match your new microwave with the cabinets in your kitchen.
Energy Efficiency
A built in microwave oven combo is an excellent space-saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they live in a home or apartment. They can free up the space that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and also help reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and provide the most efficient method to cook. Additionally, they can usually be used to cook warm and hot dishes, eliminating the requirement for additional appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.
In evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses, including assessment of technology and market screening analysis, engineering analysis and national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will use its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvement is feasible for this particular product.
DOE will assess the microwave's design to a set energy performance objectives 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 impact on consumers, including the lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback period (PBP). DOE will utilize the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens to determine the industry's net present value (NPV).
DOE will also assess the impact on manufacturers and will employ an altered industry cash flow model adapted to this product type in order to estimate manufacturing NPV. Finally, DOE will consider the potential impacts on small business manufacturers as well as other subgroups of manufacturers to identify any that may be disproportionally affected by these proposals.
Additionally, DOE will consider whether the tests for microwave ovens should be revised to include active mode energy use as well as an active mode energy use metric. Currently, test procedures only cover standby mode power consumption.
Design
Wall ovens are based on the circulating of hot air while microwaves use waves to cause the water molecules in food to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall ovens combine these two distinct appliances into a single unit that can be used to save kitchen space and gives a sleek, modern aesthetic. You must carefully think about your budget and needs before purchasing a combination wall oven. Many of the combination wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
