A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo combines your wall oven with your microwave into a single appliance. They can help you save counter space and give your kitchen a classy look.
These models feature powerful broilers that cook evenly, and their microwaves cook food quickly. They also come with a broad variety of cooking options to cook various foods.

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the versatility of wall ovens with a built-in microwave and wall oven is a practical solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Explore our complete selection of combination microwaves and wall ovens to find the best option for your home. Make sure you read the cutout specifications and installation guide for the model you select to ensure that it is suitable in your space. Our microwave and wall oven models include wall oven and microwave models that are available in a range of colors, styles and finishes to match any decor. Also, look out for features like smart and convenient digital controls, a power-cook feature and built-in self-cleaning options to help reduce time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combo can free up space on your kitchen counters and add a sleek design to your space. It can be used to heat leftovers, frozen food, and packaged food items. It can eliminate the necessity for separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. A microwave-microwave combination can be a great option for those who want to modernize your kitchen without undergoing any major renovation projects.
There are microwave ovens that come in various designs to fit the decor of your kitchen. Some come with a swing-out right-to-left door, whereas others feature a drop-down style that opens in the same manner as an ordinary oven. You can also get an oven and microwave that opens inside a drawer, similar to a cabinet. The microwave drawers can be easily accessible and are perfect for small space.
Combination microwaves also come with a range of features to aid in meal preparation and more practical. For example, some models come with sensors that allow you to steam your food and automatically adjusts the time and temperature of your food to ensure that you receive perfectly steamed veggies and fish. Other features include the broil feature, which allows you to quickly melt cheese and cook your favorite food. Crispwave(tm) in turn, can cook, grill, and crisp food.
When selecting a microwave oven combination, be sure to think about how often you'll be using each function. If you'll use the oven more often than the micro, you might prefer a double wall-oven. It's important to keep in mind that a combination appliance generally has less capacity than a conventional standalone oven.
When you've chosen the right microwave and oven combination to meet your needs, consider the installation procedure. Over-the-range models mount over your cooktop or stove and plug into an electrical outlet, whereas built-in microwaves can be plugged directly into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that let you seamlessly blend your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.
Energy Efficiency
Built-in microwave ovens are a great option for those with smaller kitchens in their house or apartment. They can help save on cabinet space that would otherwise be taken up by two separate appliances and they can also help to reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and offer a more efficient way to cook. They can also be used to cook warm and hot dishes, reducing the need for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.
In evaluating the possibility of amending energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses which include market and technology assessment screening analysis, engineering analysis and national impacts analysis (NIA). In oven and microwave built in , DOE will rely on its current engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the best efficiency improvements that are technically feasible for this product category.
In the engineering analysis, DOE will compare the design parameters of a microwave against a set of energy performance goals. 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, including the lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback time (PBP). DOE will employ its Government Regulatory Impact Model with an adaptation for microwave ovens to calculate industry net present value ("NPV").
DOE will also evaluate the impacts on manufacturers, and will employ an altered industry cash flow model modified to fit this particular product in order to estimate manufacturing NPV. DOE will also examine the effects of these proposals on small businesses and other manufacturing subgroups to determine those that may be disproportionately affected.
In addition, DOE will consider whether the test procedures for microwave ovens must be updated to include active mode energy usage and a possible integrated active mode energy use measurement. The current test procedures only deal with standby mode power use.
Design
Wall ovens depend on evenly circulating hot air while microwaves make use of waves to cause the water molecules in food to vibrate and generate heat. Combination wall units combine these two appliances into a single unit, reducing space in the kitchen and providing a modern and sleek design. But you need to carefully take into consideration your budget and goals before investing in a combo wall oven. A few of the combo wall ovens that we've rated have issues with performance or design.
