A Built in Microwave Oven Combo Offers Convenience and Versatility
A built-in microwave oven combo gives you the best of both worlds by combining your microwave and wall oven into one device. They can help free up space on your countertops and give your kitchen a modern aesthetic.
These models come with powerful broilers, which cook food evenly. The microwaves can also allow food to be cooked quickly. They also offer a wide selection of cooking options various meals.

Combining built in microwave oven of a microwave oven and the versatility of an oven on a wall, a built in microwave and wall oven is a great solution for kitchens of all kinds. Browse our selection of wall ovens that combine with microwaves to find the best fit for your home. Make sure to review the cutout specifications of your selected model and the installation guide to be sure it is suitable for your space. Our microwave & oven combinations include microwave and oven models with a variety of colors, styles and finishes that will complement any decor. Look for features like simple and easy controls and a power cook function and a built-in self-cleaning system to help you save time.
Convenience
A built-in microwave oven combo can free up counter space in your kitchen and give a stylish look to your space. Because it functions as a microwave and a traditional oven, you can heat up leftovers, frozen foods and pre-packaged meals in one appliance. It can eliminate the necessity of separate countertop appliances or bulky wall ovens. If you are looking to upgrade your home without having to undertake major remodeling, a microwave and a convection oven is a great choice.
Microwave oven combos can be found in many different styles to fit your kitchen decor. Some have a left-to-right swing-out door, while others have a drop-down design that opens in the same manner as an oven that is traditional. There is also an oven and microwave that opens inside a drawer, similar to cabinets. Microwave drawers can be easily reached and are ideal for small spaces.
Combination microwaves also have various features that help you prepare your meals faster and more practical. Certain models come with the option of a sensor steam mode that alters the temperature and time of your food automatically to ensure you get perfect steaming of your fish and vegetables. Other features include a broil feature that lets you quickly melt cheese or cook your favorite food and Crispwave(tm) technology that lets you grill or bake food and make it crisp.
When choosing a microwave combination, you should take into consideration how often you'll use each function. If you'll be using the oven more than the micro, you might be better off buying a double wall-oven. It's also important to remember that a combo oven typically has less capacity than a traditional standalone oven.
After you've picked the ideal microwave and oven combination for your needs, it's time to think about how you will install it. Over-the-range models are mounted over your cooktop or stove and plug into an electrical outlet, while built-in microwaves are inserted directly into the walls or cabinets of your kitchen. Some models even have trim kits that allow you to seamlessly match your new microwave with your kitchen cabinets.
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 an apartment. They can save the space in cabinets which would otherwise be taken by separate appliances, and can also cut down on energy usage. They are more energy efficient than traditional wall-mounted ovens and offer the most efficient method to cook. They can also be used to cook warm and hot dishes, reducing the necessity for additional appliances like toasters or warming plates.
When evaluating possible amendments to energy conservation standards, DOE conducts several analyses, including market and technology assessment, screening analysis, engineering analysis, and national impacts analysis (NIA). In this SNOPR, DOE will use its engineering analysis of microwave ovens to determine the level of efficiency improvements are feasible for this particular product.
DOE will assess the design of a microwave to an energy performance objective that is specified 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 the NIA, DOE will evaluate the impact on consumers of every product category, including lifecycle cost savings as well as simple payback periods ("PBP"). DOE will use 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 examine the effects on manufacturers and will use a modified industry cash flow model that is specifically tailored to this type of product to estimate manufacturing NPV. Additionally, DOE will consider the potential impact on small-business manufacturers and other subgroups of manufacturers to determine if they could be disproportionally affected by these proposals.
DOE will also look into whether the test procedure for microwave ovens needs to be revised to include active mode power consumption as well as a possible integrated energy use metric. The current tests only provide standby mode power usage.
Design
Microwaves create heat by causing water molecules to vibrate in food. Wall ovens are based on the circulation of hot air while microwaves depend on waves to cause food molecules to vibrate. Combination wall ovens blend these two very different appliances into a single unit that helps save kitchen space and provides sleek, modern design. You must carefully take into consideration 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.
