A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A microwave oven with built-in features combines your wall oven with your microwave into a single appliance. They can save space on your counters and give your kitchen an elegant look.
stoves integrated microwave feature powerful broilers that cook evenly, and their microwaves cook food quickly. They also have a wide range of options for cooking different foods.

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven with the versatility of a wall oven, a built in microwave and wall oven combination is an efficient solution for kitchens of all kinds. Explore our collection of wall ovens that combine with microwaves to find the perfect solution for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications and installation guide for your chosen unit to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave and oven sets include both oven and microwave models that come in a variety of designs, colors and styles that will complement any decor. Look for features like smart and convenient controls and a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning system to help you save time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven will save you space on your counters and give your kitchen a sleeker appearance. Because it acts as a microwave in addition to a traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen food items and meals that are pre-packaged in one appliance. It also eliminates the requirement for an additional countertop appliance or a large wall ovens that are stand-alone. If you're looking to improve your home without having to do major remodeling the combination microwave oven is a great choice.
built in microwaves are available in different styles to match your kitchen's decor. Some microwave oven combos have doors that swing out right to left or drop-down models that open the same way as traditional ovens. There is also a microwave oven combo with the drawer design that opens in the same way as a cabinet. Microwave drawers can be easily accessible and are perfect for small spaces.
Combination microwaves can also offer various features that assist in making meal preparation easier and more convenient. For instance, some models have a sensor steam cycle that automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure that you receive perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil feature that allows you to quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food and Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill food items, bake and crisp them.
When selecting a microwave oven combination, you should take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll use the oven component of your combo more than the microwave, you may be better off using a double wall oven instead. A combo appliance is smaller in capacity than a standalone oven.
Once you've decided on the right microwave and oven combination to meet your needs, you should think about the installation process. Over-the-range models are installed over the stovetop or cooktop, and plug into an electrical outlet. Built-in microwaves can be incorporated into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models come with 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 home or apartment. They can free up the space that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances. They can also cut down on energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall ovens and provide an efficient method to cook. They can also be used to cook food and warm food items. This reduces the requirement for other appliances, such as toasters or warming plates.
DOE conducts various analyses when evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards. These include technology and market assessments screening analyses, engineering analyses and a national impact assessment (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will draw on its existing engineering analysis on microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvement is possible for this product category.
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 impacts on consumers, such as the lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback period (PBP). DOE will employ the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens to determine the industry's net present value (NPV).
DOE will also evaluate the effects on manufacturers and will employ an industry-specific cash flow model specifically tailored to this type of product to calculate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impacts on small business manufacturers and other manufacturer subgroups to identify any that could be affected in a different way by these proposals.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption and a possible integrated energy use metric. Currently, the test protocols only deal with standby mode power use.
Design
Microwaves create 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 ovens combine these two different appliances into a single unit that helps save kitchen space and offers a sleek, modern aesthetic. However, it is important to consider your goals and budget before deciding to purchase a combination wall oven. A few of the combo wall ovens we have rated have issues with performance or design.
