Benefits of a Built in Microwave Over Oven A microwave oven that has built-in microwaves lets you cook and reheat your food quickly and conveniently. GE offers a variety of designs, cooking techniques and control options that will fit your kitchen's needs. Countertop microwaves are placed on the counter and plug into an outlet or outlet, while built-in models can be installed in a recessed wall or among cabinets for a sleek, built-in look. These models require professional installation. Space Saver The microwave is among the most commonly used kitchen appliances however, it can take up valuable counter space. You can free up counter space by moving the microwave to a different place, such as an island in the kitchen. Over-the-range microwaves (OTRs) are a popular option. Hidden away beneath your stove, this model is particularly useful in kitchens that are smaller and space is at a premium. Plus, certain OTR models double as a vent hood to your cooktop, which can be helpful in reducing steam buildup. Installing a microwave integrated into your cabinetry can help you save space.

Tunis Kitchens and Baths in Chevy Chase, Maryland, the minimum cabinet depth for a built-in microwave is approximately 15 inches. However, some manufacturers provide trim kits that offer up to 1 ½ inches of extra space to let air circulate. A drawer-style microwave can be installed beneath your counter or within an island.

In addition, they're not as portable, and you won't have the ability to easily swap the model for a different model if you want something different. If you decide to place your microwave over your range, then you'll require a bigger space in your kitchen to accommodate the ventilation required in this setup. You'll require either a ducting system that directs smoke away from the home or a recirculating system that draws air through the microwave before transferring it to the home. For smaller kitchens, consider an additional built-in microwave that can be installed inside the wall, cabinet or island. built in combination microwave come with a variety of convenient controls depending on the model you pick. The most common features are turntables, preset functions including defrosting and reheating and 30 second buttons. Certain models include child safety features to avoid accidental operation. Many microwaves come with pre-made recipes and cooking times that make the process of preparing meals more efficient and less time-consuming. This feature is useful for new cooks who don't know how long to cook certain meals or for those who aren't acquainted with the specific cooking techniques employed in various cuisines. KitchenAid brand offers a wide range of built-in and over-the-range microwaves that are designed to match the style and appearance of your other appliances to create an integrated look to your kitchen.

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. Built-in microwaves, in contrast to countertop models, are installed in a fixed space of your kitchen cabinets or walls for an elegant and unique look. The internal components are typically the same as those of traditional countertop models, with some exceptions. They come in a variety of sizes, with some designed to fit into a small space and their exteriors can feature a door that opens either in a left-to right swing-out or drop-down style. Some microwaves over the range, like the ones made by Whirlpool® and Whirlpool®, can be used as vent hoods. They have an exhaust system built-in to vent fumes outdoors and then recirculate the air. Some models come with a charcoal filter to remove moisture and odors from your kitchen.

Energy Efficiency Microwaves are more efficient at heating water and food as when compared to other cooking methods.

This is why they can heat dishes much faster than a conventional oven. They can be placed in your lower or upper cabinets, and are available with modern or retro styling to suit any kitchen design. In this notice of proposed rulemaking (“SNOPR”), the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE) proposes new or revised energy conservation standards for microwave ovens that will help consumers save money on their operating costs. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) requires DOE to periodically assess whether stricter standards are technically feasible and economically justified and will result in significant energy saving. This SNOPR contains DOE's analyses and results to evaluate the impact of new or amended energy standards for microwave ovens on the consumer. The analysis includes a technology and market assessment and screening analysis as well as an engineering analysis and national impact analysis. The energy usage analysis calculates the average annual microwave oven operating hours in households from a representative sample. This analysis is used to calculate energy savings as well as other consumer analysis within this SNOPR. The analysis is based on RECS field data from various regions, and takes into account the different patterns of usage of microwave ovens in different households and also the variations in regional electricity prices. In order to assess the impact of new or amended standards on household expenses, DOE conducted LCC analyses and PBP analyses in order to estimate the cost over time of purchasing and using a micro-wave oven at various levels of efficiency. The LCC and PBP calculations employ a computer model built on Monte Carlo simulations to incorporate uncertainty and variation into the analyses. This SNOPR includes an analysis of the impact of amended or new standards at the national scale based on the NIA spreadsheet. The NIA model estimates the industry's net present value (“INPV”) in terms of energy savings resulting from potential amended or new standards in terms of energy savings on site and FFC energy savings.
