A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A microwave oven that is built-in incorporates your wall oven and your microwave into a single appliance. They can save space on your counters and give your kitchen an elegant appearance.
These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves cook food quickly. They also have a wide variety of cooking options to cook different foods.

built in microwave black built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. It combines the convenience of a microwave with the versatility of wall ovens. Browse our selection of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the ideal solution for your home. Be sure to check the cutout specifications of your selected model and the installation guide to be sure it is suitable for your space. built in microwave oven black and oven combos include both microwave and oven models that come in a variety of designs, colors and styles that will complement any decor. Look for features such as smart and convenient controls and a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning feature to help you save time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combo will free up counter space and give your kitchen a more sleek look. Because it functions as a microwave in addition to a traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen meals and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It removes the necessity for separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. A combination microwave oven can be a great option if you want to upgrade your kitchen without undergoing any major renovations.
Microwave oven combos can be found in many different styles to suit the decor of your kitchen. Some come with a swing-out right-to-left door, while others feature a drop-down style that opens the same way as a traditional oven. There is also an oven and microwave that opens inside a drawer, similar to cabinets. Microwave drawers are easy to reach and are perfect for small spaces where you need to minimize the use of counter space.
Combination microwaves also have many features that can simplify meal preparation and make it more practical. For instance, some models have sensors for steam cycles that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure that you get perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil element that allows you to quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish and Crispwave(tm) technology that lets you grill or bake food and make it crisp.
When choosing a microwave combination, you should consider how often you'll use each function. If you'll be using the oven more than the micro, you might be better off buying an oven that doubles as a wall. A combo oven has less capacity than a standalone oven.
Once you've decided on the right microwave and oven combination to satisfy your needs, think about the installation process. Over-the-range models are installed over your cooktop or stove, and plug into an electrical outlet. Built-in microwaves are installed into cabinets or walls in your kitchen. Some models have trim kits that match your new microwave to your existing cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combination can be an excellent space-saving option for those who have smaller kitchens, whether they reside in a house or apartment. They can free up the space in cabinets that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances. They can also reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and provide a more efficient way to cook. They can also be used to cook food and warm dishes, which reduces the necessity for additional appliances such as toasters or warming plates.
When evaluating possible amendments to energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses that include market and technology assessment 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 improvements are technologically feasible for this particular product.
DOE will evaluate the microwave's design 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 NIA, DOE will assess the impact on consumers, such as the lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback period (PBP). DOE will utilize 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 employ an updated version of its Industry Cash Flow model adapted for this type of product to estimate manufacturing NPV. In addition, DOE will consider the potential impact on small business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to identify any that could be disproportionally affected by these proposals.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens requires to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption as well as an integrated energy use metric. The current test procedures only include standby mode power consumption.
Design
Wall ovens depend on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves use waves to cause water molecules in food items to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into one unit, reducing space in the kitchen while providing a modern and sleek design. It is important to consider your budget and goals before purchasing a combination wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we evaluated have performance or design issues.
