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 wall oven and microwave into one unit. They can free up counter space and give your kitchen a classy appearance.
These models are equipped with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. Their microwaves also allow food to be cooked quickly. They also offer a wide variety of cooking options to cook various meals.

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the flexibility of a wall oven with a built-in microwave and wall oven is a practical solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Browse our selection of wall ovens with combination microwaves to find the perfect one for your home. Be sure to read the cutout specifications and installation guide for the appliance you choose to ensure it works in your space. Our microwave and oven combos include both oven and microwave models with a variety of styles, colors and finishes that will complement any decor. Look for features such as easy and efficient controls, a power cook function, and built-in self-cleaning to save you time.
Convenience
A microwave oven with built-in features can save space on your counters and give your kitchen a sleeker appearance. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food items, and pre-packaged foods. It also eliminates the need for an additional countertop appliance or a large wall ovens that are stand-alone. A combination microwave oven could be a great option when you are looking to improve your kitchen without undertaking any major remodeling projects.
Microwave oven combos are available in a variety of 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 microwave ovens that have an open-type drawer that opens like a cabinet. Microwave drawers are easy to reach and are perfect for small spaces where you want to minimize the use of counter space.
Combination microwaves can also offer various features that help make meal prep easier and more efficient. For instance, certain models have sensors that allow you to steam your food and automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure you receive perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil feature, which lets you quickly melt cheese and brown your favorite dish. Crispwave(tm) is meanwhile can grill, bake and crisp food.
Consider how often built in double oven and microwave will use each feature when choosing a microwave-oven combination. If you'll be using the oven component of your combination more often than the microwave, you might be better off using a double wall oven instead. A combo oven has less capacity than an individual oven.
After you've chosen the right microwave and oven combo for your needs, it's time to think about the installation. Over-the-range models are positioned over your cooktop or stove and connect to the power outlet. Built-in microwaves are installed on walls or cabinets in your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that allow you to effortlessly blend your new microwave with the cabinets in your kitchen.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave oven combos are a great option for those who have smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can save the space in cabinets which would otherwise be taken by separate appliances, and also reduce energy consumption. They typically offer a more efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens as they tend to use less energy. 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.
When evaluating potential amended energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses that include assessment of technology and market, screening analysis, engineering analysis, and national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will utilize its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine what degree of efficiency improvements are feasible for this particular product.
In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave against 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 NIA, DOE will assess the effects on consumers, including cost savings over the lifecycle, as well as the simple payback time (PBP). DOE will utilize the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for ovens that can be microwaved, to calculate the industry net present value (NPV).
DOE will also assess the effects on manufacturers and will use an industry-specific cash flow model modified to fit this particular product in order to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also examine the impacts of these plans on small-scale businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to determine those who are likely to be affected.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens has to be revised to include active mode power consumption as well as an integrated energy use metric. The current test procedures only cover standby mode power consumption.
Design
Wall ovens depend on the circulation of hot air evenly while microwaves make use of waves to cause the water molecules in food items to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall ovens combine these two different appliances into a single unit that helps save kitchen space and provides sleek, modern design. You must carefully consider your budget and goals before investing in a combination wall oven. Many of the combination wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
