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 one appliance. They can help free up space on your countertops and give your kitchen a sleek design.
These models are equipped with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. The microwaves can also heat food quickly. They also have a wide variety of cooking options to cook various meals.

Combining the convenience of a microwave oven and the flexibility of an oven on a wall with a built-in microwave and wall oven combo is a practical solution for kitchens with a variety of styles. Explore our entire range of microwaves that combine with wall ovens to find the perfect fit for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications for your chosen unit and the installation guide to make sure it is suitable for your space. Our microwave & wall oven combinations feature both wall oven and microwave models that are available in a range of styles, colors, and finishes to match any decor. Also, look for features such as smart and convenient digital controls, a power-cook function, and built-in self-cleaning options that will help you save time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven will free up space on your counters and give your kitchen a more sleek look. Because it acts as a microwave in addition to a traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen foods and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It can eliminate the necessity for separate appliances for the countertop or large wall ovens. A microwave-microwave combination can also be a good option if you want to upgrade your kitchen without having to undergo any major renovations.
Microwave ovens are available in a variety of different styles to suit your kitchen decor. Some come with a swing-out right-to-left door, whereas others have a drop-down design that opens in the same manner as an oven that is traditional. You can also purchase a microwave-oven combo that opens in a drawer, like cabinets. Microwave drawers are easily reached and are ideal for small spaces.
Combination microwaves are also equipped with a variety of features that simplify meal preparation and make it more efficient. Certain models come with a sensor steam mode that adjusts the temperature and duration of your food in order to ensure perfect steamed fish and vegetables. Other features include the broil feature, which allows you to quickly melt cheese and cook your favorite dish. Crispwave(tm) in turn, can cook, grill, and crisp food items.
Consider how often white built in microwave oven will utilize each feature before deciding on a microwave-oven combination. If you'll be using the oven more often than the microwave, you may prefer an extra wall oven. A combo oven is smaller in capacity than an oven that is a standalone unit.
Once you've selected the best microwave and oven combo for your requirements, you need to consider the installation. Over-the-range models are installed over your stovetop or cooktop and connect to the power outlet. Built-in microwaves are inserted into cabinets or walls in your kitchen. Some models come with trim kits that let you effortlessly match your new microwave with the cabinets in your kitchen.
Energy Efficiency
A built-in microwave oven combo is an ideal space-saving solution for those who have smaller kitchens, regardless of whether they are in a house or apartment. They can save the space that would otherwise be occupied by separate appliances, and also reduce energy consumption. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and provide a more efficient way to cook. They can also be used to cook food and warm meals. This means that there is less need for other appliances like 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 national impact analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will draw on its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine what degree of efficiency improvements are feasible for this product type.
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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the effects on consumers for each product category, including lifecycle cost savings, and simple payback period ("PBP"). DOE will employ the Government Regulatory Impact Model, with an adaptation for microwavable ovens, to calculate the industry's net present value (NPV).
The impact on manufacturers will be evaluated also and DOE will use a modified version of its Industry Cash Flow model that has been modified for this product type to calculate the manufacturing NPV. Finally, DOE will consider the potential impact 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 examine 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, test procedures only cover 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 produce heat. Combination wall units combine both appliances into one unit, which is ideal for securing space in the kitchen and offering a sleek modern aesthetic. It is important to take into consideration your budget and goals before deciding on a combination wall oven. Some of the combo ovens we rated have performance or design issues.
