A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A microwave oven that is built-in combines your wall oven with your microwave into one unit. They can free up space on your counters and give your kitchen a stylish appearance.
These models come with powerful broilers that cook food evenly. Their microwaves also have the ability to heat food quickly. These models have a variety of options to cook different food items.

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven with the versatility of wall ovens, a built in microwave and wall oven is a practical solution for kitchens of all kinds. Explore our collection of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the best fit for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications and the installation guide for the appliance you choose to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave and wall oven combos include both wall oven and microwave models that are available in a range of styles, colors, and finishes to complement any style. Look for features like simple and easy controls and a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning system to save you time.
built microwave oven combo with built-in features can save space on your counters and give your kitchen a sleeker appearance. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food items, and even pre-packaged food items. It also eliminates the requirement for an additional countertop appliance or a large wall ovens that are stand-alone. If you are looking to upgrade your home without the need for major renovations, a microwave and a convection oven is a great choice.
There are microwave oven combos in a variety of designs to fit your kitchen decor. Some come with a swing-out right-to-left door, while others feature a drop-down design that opens the same way as a traditional oven. You can also get a microwave-oven combo that opens through a drawer similar to a cabinet. Microwave drawers can be easily reached and are ideal for small space.
Combination microwaves can also offer a range of features to assist in making meal preparation easier and more efficient. For example, some models have sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure that you receive perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil feature, which allows you to quickly melt cheese and cook your favorite dish. Crispwave(tm) in turn, can cook, grill, and crisp food.
When choosing a microwave oven combination, you should think about how often you'll be using each function. If you'll be using the oven component of your combo more than the microwave, you may be better off using a double wall oven instead. A combo appliance has a smaller capacity than an oven that is a standalone unit.
After you've chosen the right microwave and oven combination that meets your requirements, you need to consider the installation. Over-the range models are mounted over the stovetop or cooktop and connected to a power outlet. Built-in microwaves can be incorporated on walls or cabinets in your kitchen. Some models have trim kits that make your microwave match the cabinets you already have.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave oven combos are a great option for those with smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can help to reduce the amount of the space in cabinets that would be occupied by two separate appliances, and they can also help to reduce energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and provide a more efficient way to cook. They can also be used to cook food or warm meals. This means that there is less necessity for other appliances such as 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 national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will rely on its existing engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the highest level of improvements in efficiency that are technologically feasible for this product class.
DOE will evaluate the design of a microwave 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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the impact on consumers of each product category including lifecycle cost savings as well as simple payback period ("PBP"). DOE will use the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens, to calculate the industry's net present value (NPV).
Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated as well and DOE will employ a modified version of its Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified for this product type to calculate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also consider the impact of these proposals on small businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to identify those who are likely to be affected.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be revised to include active mode power consumption as well as a possible integrated energy use metric. Currently, the test procedures only cover standby mode power use.
Design
Wall ovens depend on the circulation of hot air evenly while microwaves make use of waves to cause water molecules in food items to vibrate and produce heat. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into a single unit, reducing space in the kitchen and giving a modern, sleek look. You should carefully consider your budget and goals before investing in a combination wall oven. Many of the combination wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
