Benefits of a Built in Microwave Over Oven

A microwave oven with a built-in microwave allows you to cook and heat your food quickly and conveniently. GE offers a wide range of styles, cooking technologies and control options that can be adapted to your kitchen.

Built-in microwaves are placed behind cabinets or in recessed walls to give them a sleek and integrated look. These styles require professional installation.

Space Saver

The microwave is one of the most used kitchen appliances but it can consume valuable counter space. There are many smart ways to free up countertop space by moving your microwave to an alternative place, such as an island in the kitchen or recessing it into the wall.

One of the most popular options is an over the range (OTR) microwave. It is tucked away in a neatly placed above your stove, this option is particularly useful in smaller kitchens where space is limited. Furthermore, some OTR models double as a vent hood to your cooktop, which is beneficial in reducing the buildup of steam.

Installing a microwave and grill built in that is best integrated microwave oven into your cabinetry will make space. This can give you an elegant, seamless look that can be matched to the color, finish or style of your other kitchen fixtures and cabinets. It can also give a more streamlined look in your kitchen. This is ideal for homeowners who prefer an uncluttered, clean appearance.

However installing a microwave built-in could require professional installation or a remodeling of your kitchen. You may be able depending on the layout of your home to make an opening in the wall for the appliance. However it will require professional framing and strengthening. Also, built-in microwaves require adequate ventilation to ensure that they don't overheat and damaging the appliance. According to Sam Cipiti of R. M. Tunis Kitchens and Baths in Chevy Chase, Maryland the minimum cabinet depth for a built-in oven is 15 inches. However some manufacturers offer trim kits that provide up to 1 1/2 inches of extra space for ventilation.

A third space-saving option is a drawer-style microwave that can be installed below your countertop or inside an island. This design is easy to access and is suitable for all users and requires less countertop space. It can also help avoid hot dishes or containers from falling off the edge of the microwave or being crushed.

A final consideration for the space-saving microwave is the door design. There are many brands that have a door that can be opened in the same manner as other kitchen appliances, including dropping-down or slide-out. This allows you to integrate your microwave seamlessly into your cooking workflow. Some models have an elegant, smooth exterior that is resistant to fingerprints for a cleaner and more attractive appearance.

Convenience

A built in microwave over oven offers an attractive design that is easy to clean and convenient. They are usually set at eye level for easy access and come with turntables that make it easier to move food from one plate to another. Built-in microwaves are typically equipped with features that improve their utility, for instance EasyConvection technology to convert ovens and a broiler element which can brown or crisp food items.

In addition to reducing counter space, a built-in microwave that is atop an oven can boost your home's value and appearance by offering a luxurious look that other appliances may not be capable of matching. The microwaves can be placed on top of your stove or in a separate cabinet. They blend seamlessly into the kitchen to give the appearance of a custom-designed appearance that shows how much you've invested in your home and kitchen.

Built-in microwaves over ovens are available in a broad range of dimensions, power levels and features to match any kitchen configuration. Install them under the counter in drawers to create an elegant look that is a perfect fit within the cabinets. This requires no additional space. These microwaves, with their high-end designs and top-of-the-line functions can enhance the appearance of your kitchen as well as your cooking and entertaining experience.

While microwaves built into ovens are handy however they aren't as versatile as the microwaves that stand alone. Depending on where you install your microwave, it will require more space than other microwaves. They're also not as portable, and you can't easily switch the model if you want something different.

If you install your microwave and oven built in combo above the range, you'll need an additional kitchen space to accommodate the ventilation system that is required by this arrangement. You'll require either an ducting system that sends smoke outside or a recirculating system that pulls the air through the microwave and into the home. For smaller kitchens, consider an additional built-in microwave that can be incorporated inside a cabinet, wall or island.

Convenient Controls

Microwave ovens come with various controls that are convenient depending on the model you pick. Some features are turntables, presets such as defrosting or reheating, as well as buttons for a maximum of 30 seconds. Certain models include child safety features to prevent accidental operation.

Many microwaves come with pre-programmed recipes and cooking times, which makes the process of making food quicker and more efficient. This feature is useful for those who are just beginning to cook and are uncertain of the proper time to heat specific foods or are not familiar with the specific cooking methods used in different cuisines.

KitchenAid offers a variety of built-in microwaves as well as over-the-range microwaves designed to match the other appliances in style and finish for an elegant look. There's a variety of stainless steel models, as well as black finishes to complement any kitchen design. These premium microwaves are boldly designed to bring professional-inspired styles into your home, and they're made with high-quality materials for a longer lifespan.

In contrast to models for countertop use built-in microwaves are inserted into a fixed space in your kitchen walls or cabinets to give your kitchen a sleek, customized appearance. They generally use the same components inside as countertop models, but with some exceptions. They come in a variety of sizes, including those designed to fit in a compact space and their exteriors can include a door that opens in a left-to-right swing-out or drop-down fashion.

Certain microwaves over the range like those from Whirlpool(r), even double as vent hoods to your kitchen stove. They have an exhaust system built-in to let fumes out and recirculate air. Some microwaves come with a built-in charcoal filter to remove odors and moisture from your kitchen.

Countertop models are positioned on the counter in the kitchen. They don't require venting or any special installation. This makes them a good choice for those who rent their homes or stay clear of costly modifications to their kitchens. Certain models include trim kits to fill in the gap between your microwave and other freestanding countertop appliances such as coffee makers and bread makers, as well as toaster ovens.

Energy Efficiency

Microwaves use less energy to cook food and water than other cooking methods. They also use less energy than conventional stovetop ovens because they focus the microwave's energy on the liquid in the, rather than on heating the air or other elements surrounding it. They can heat up dishes faster than conventional ovens. They can be placed in the lower or upper cabinets and come in retro or modern styles to fit any kitchen.

In this notice of proposed rulemaking ("SNOPR") The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE) proposes new or amended energy conservation standards for microwave ovens that will save consumers money on their operating costs. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) requires DOE to regularly assess whether more stringent standards are technically feasible and economically justifiable and if they can yield significant energy savings.

This SNOPR contains the analyses and findings that DOE conducted to assess the impact on consumers of new or revised energy conservation standards for microwave ovens. The analysis includes a technology and market assessment as well as a screening analysis as well as an engineering analysis and national impact analysis.

The energy use analysis calculates the average annual microwave oven operating hours in a sample of homes. It is the basis for the energy savings assessments and the other consumer analyses included in this SNOPR. The analysis is made using RECS field data from various regions and considers the various patterns of use of microwave ovens in different households and also the variations in regional electricity prices.

To determine the impact of new or amended standards on household operating costs, DOE conducted LCC and PBP analyses to determine the lifetime cost of purchasing and using microwave ovens at various efficiency levels. The LCC and PBP calculations are made using an algorithm for computer models that employs a Monte Carlo simulation to incorporate uncertainties and variations into the analysis.

In addition to the energy-use and LCC/PBP analyses In addition to the energy-use and LCC/PBP analyses, this SNOPR includes an assessment of the national impact of new or amended standards based on the NIA spreadsheet model. The NIA model calculates the industry's net present value ("INPV") in terms of energy savings resulting from potential amended or new standards in the form of site energy savings and FFC energy savings.
