A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility A built-in microwave oven combo offers the best of both worlds by making your microwave and oven into one unit. They can help you save counter space and give your kitchen a classy appearance. These models are equipped with powerful broilers that cook food evenly. They also have the ability to heat food quickly. They also offer a wide selection of cooking options different foods. Size Combining the convenience of a microwave oven with the versatility of wall ovens and a built-in microwave and wall oven is a great solution for many kitchens. Explore our entire selection of combination microwaves and wall ovens to find the perfect fit for your home. Be sure to check the cutout specifications for your chosen unit and the installation guide to make sure it will fit in your space. Our microwave and oven combos include microwave and oven models in a variety colors, styles and finishes that will complement any decor. Look for features like simple and easy controls and a power cook function, and built-in self-cleaning to cut down on time. Convenience A microwave oven with built-in features will free up space on your counters and give your kitchen a sleeker appearance. Since it functions as a microwave and a traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen meals and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It also eliminates the requirement for an additional countertop appliance or a the bulky wall oven that is a stand-alone unit. A combination microwave oven could also be a good choice if you want to upgrade your kitchen without undergoing any major renovation projects. There are microwave ovens that come in various designs to fit your kitchen decor. Some come with a swing-out right-to-left door, while others feature a drop-down style that opens the same way as an ordinary oven. You can also purchase a microwave-oven combo that opens through a drawer like a cabinet. Microwave drawers are easy to reach and are great for small spaces where you need to keep your microwave from taking up valuable counter space. built in oven and microwave combination can also provide various features to aid in meal preparation and more efficient. For example, some models have 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 that allows you to swiftly melt cheese and cook your favorite dish. Crispwave™, meanwhile can grill, bake and crisp food items. When choosing a microwave oven combination, be sure to take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll be using the oven portion of your combo more frequently than the microwave, you might be better off using a double wall oven. It's also important to remember that a combo appliance typically has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven. When you've chosen a microwave and oven combo to meet your needs, you should think about the installation procedure. Over-the-range models can be positioned over your cooktop or stove and plug into an electrical outlet, whereas built-in microwaves are inserted directly into cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Certain models come with trim kits to match your new microwave to your existing cabinets. Energy Efficiency A built in microwave oven combination can be a great space saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, regardless of whether they live in a home or apartment. They can free up the space in cabinets that would be taken up by separate appliances, and also help reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and provide a more efficient way to cook. Additionally, they can usually be used to cook both food and warm dishes, eliminating the requirement for additional appliances, such as toasters or warming plates. DOE conducts a variety of analyses when evaluating potential amendments to energy conservation standards. These include assessments of technology and market screening analysis, engineering analyses and a national impact assessment (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will draw on its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine what level of efficiency improvements are 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 category, including lifecycle cost savings and simple payback periods (“PBP”). DOE will use its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate the industry's net present value (“NPV”). The impact of manufacturers will be assessed also, and DOE will use a modified version of its Industry Cash Flow model adapted for this product type to estimate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impacts on small business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to identify any that could be disproportionately affected by these proposals. DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be revised to include active mode power consumption and an integrated energy use metric. Currently, the test protocols only cover the standby mode power usage. Design Microwaves produce heat through the process of causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens rely upon the circulation of hot air, while microwaves rely on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into one unit, saving space in the kitchen and providing a modern and sleek design. However, it is important to take into consideration your budget and goals before investing in a combo wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we evaluated have design or performance issues.
