A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo offers the best of both worlds by combining your microwave and oven into one appliance. They can free up space on your counters and give your kitchen a classy look.
These models are equipped with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. They also allow food to be cooked quickly. They also come with a broad variety of cooking options to cook various meals.

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the versatility of a wall oven with a built-in microwave and wall oven combination is a great solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Browse our selection of wall ovens that combine with microwaves to find the best one for your home. Be sure to check the cutout specifications for your selected model and the installation guide to make sure it will fit in your space. Our microwave & wall oven combos include both wall oven and microwave models that come in a variety of colors, styles and finishes to complement any decor. Look for features like simple and easy controls, a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning system to save you time.
Convenience
A built in microwave oven combo can free up space on kitchen counters and provide a modern look to your space. Because it functions as a microwave and traditional oven it can cook leftovers, frozen foods and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It can eliminate the necessity of separate countertop appliances or large wall ovens. If you want to upgrade your home without having to undertake major changes, a combination microwave oven is a great option.
There are microwave oven combos in various designs to fit your kitchen's decor. Some microwave oven combos feature doors that swing open from right to left or drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. There is also microwave ovens with an open-type drawer that opens like a cabinet. The microwave drawers are easy to reach and are perfect for small spaces where you need to avoid taking up valuable counter space.
Combination microwaves are also equipped with many features that can simplify meal preparation and make it more efficient. For instance, some models have sensors that allow you to steam your food and automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food items to ensure that you get perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil element, which allows you to quickly melt cheese and brown your favorite dish. Crispwave(tm) in turn can grill, bake, and crisp food.
When choosing a microwave oven combination, make sure to consider how often you'll use each function. If you will be using the oven more often than the microwave, you may prefer a double wall-oven. It's important to keep in mind that a combination appliance generally has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.
After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination for your requirements, you need to consider the installation. Over- built in oven and microwave mount over the stove or cooktop and connect to an electrical outlet, whereas built-in microwaves are inserted directly into cabinets or walls of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that allow you to seamlessly integrate your new microwave into your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave ovens are a great choice for those with smaller kitchens in their home or apartment. They can free up the space in cabinets that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances. They can also cut down on energy usage. They typically offer the most efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens, as they tend to use less energy. They can also be used to cook food and warm dishes, eliminating the need for additional appliances such as toasters or warming plates.
DOE conducts a variety of analyses when evaluating possible amended energy conservation standards. These include assessments of technology and market screening analyses, engineering analyses and national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will use its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvement is feasible for this particular product.
In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave with a set of energy performance 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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the impact on consumers of every product category including lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback time ("PBP"). DOE will employ the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens to calculate the industry's net present value (NPV).
The impact on manufacturers will be evaluated also, and DOE will employ an updated version of its Industry Cash Flow model adapted for this product type to calculate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also look at the impact of these proposals on small-scale businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to identify those who are likely to be affected.
In addition, DOE will consider whether the test procedures for microwave ovens should be updated to include active mode energy use as well as a possible integrated active mode energy use measurement. Currently, the test protocols only cover the standby mode power usage.
Design
Wall ovens depend on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause the water molecules in food to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall units blend these two appliances into a single unit, which is ideal for securing space in the kitchen while giving a modern, sleek look. You must carefully think about your budget and needs before deciding on a combination wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we reviewed have performance or design issues.
