A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built in microwave oven combo gives you the best of both worlds by making your microwave and oven into one unit. They can help free up space on your countertops and provide your kitchen with a sleek design.
These models come with powerful broilers that cook evenly and their microwaves cook food quickly. They offer a wide range of cooking options for different foods.

Combining oven microwave built in combo of a microwave oven with the flexibility of an oven on a wall with a built-in microwave and wall oven combination is an efficient solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Explore our entire range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the right fit 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 with a variety of designs, colors and styles that can be incorporated into any decor. Also, look out for features such as smart and convenient digital controls, a power-cook function, and built-in self-cleaning options that will help you reduce time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combo can save counter space in your kitchen and give a stylish design to your space. It can be used to cook leftovers, frozen food items, and pre-packaged foods. It can also eliminate the need for an additional countertop appliance or a large wall ovens that are stand-alone. A combination microwave oven can be a great option if you want to upgrade your kitchen without undergoing any major remodeling projects.
Microwave oven combos are available in a variety of different styles to suit your kitchen decor. Some microwave oven combos feature doors that swing open from right to left or drop-down designs that open the same way as traditional ovens. You can also find a microwave oven combo with an open-type drawer that opens as an open cabinet. Microwave drawers can be easily reached and are great for small spaces.
Combination microwaves can also provide various features to assist in making meal preparation easier and more practical. Some models have a sensor steam mode that alters the temperature and time of your food automatically to ensure you get perfectly steamed vegetables and fish. Other features include a broil feature that allows you to quickly melt cheese or brown your favorite dish, as well as Crispwave(tm) technology that allows you to grill food items, bake and crisp them.
Consider how often you will use each feature when choosing the microwave oven combination. If you will be using the oven more often 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 meet your needs, you should think about the installation procedure. Over-the-range models mount over your 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 come with trim kits that allow you to seamlessly blend your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combination can be an ideal space-saving solution for those who have smaller kitchens, regardless of whether they live in a home or apartment. They can help to reduce the amount of cabinet space that would otherwise be taken up by two separate appliances, and they also can help reduce energy usage. They generally provide a more efficient cooking method than traditional wall ovens as they tend to use less energy. They can also be used to cook food or warm dishes. This reduces the need for other appliances like toasters or warming plates.
When evaluating potential amended energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses, including assessment of technology and market conditions, screening analysis, engineering analysis, and national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR DOE will draw on its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine what degree 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 impacts on consumers for each product class, including lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback period ("PBP"). DOE will use the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens to determine the industry's net present value (NPV).
Manufacturer impacts will be evaluated as well and DOE will use a modified version of the Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified for this type of product to calculate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also consider the effects of these proposals on small businesses as well as other manufacturing subgroups to identify those who could be most affected.
DOE will also consider whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be updated in order to include active mode power consumption as well as an integrated energy use measure. Currently, the test protocols only address the use of standby mode power.
Design
Wall ovens rely on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves rely on waves to cause water molecules in food to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall ovens blend these two different appliances into one unit that helps save kitchen space and provides a sleek, modern aesthetic. You must carefully think about your budget and needs before investing in a combination wall oven. Many of the combination wall ovens in our ratings have issues with performance or design.
