Benefits of a Built in Microwave Over Oven

A microwave oven with built-in microwaves allows you to cook and heat your food quickly and efficiently. GE offers a wide range of styles, cooking technology and control options to fit your kitchen.

Countertop microwaves sit on the counter and plug into outlets and built-in models are placed in a wall with a recess or between cabinets for an elegant, built-in appearance. These models require professional installation.

Space Saver

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

One of the most well-known options is an over-the-range (OTR) microwave. It is tucked away in a neatly placed above the stove, this option is especially beneficial in kitchens that are smaller and space is limited. Furthermore there are some OTR models can double as a vent hood for your cooktop, which can be helpful in reducing steam buildup.

Installing a microwave integrated oven and microwave into your cabinetry will save you space. This option offers an elegant, seamless look that is able to match the color, finish or style of your other kitchen fixtures and cabinets. It can also give an overall look that is more minimalist in your kitchen. This is ideal for homeowners that prefer a clean, uncluttered appearance.

Installing a built-in microwave might require a professional installation or a kitchen remodel. It is possible to, based on the layout of your house to cut a hole in a wall to accommodate the appliance. However, this will require professional framing and strengthening. Also, built-in microwaves require sufficient ventilation to prevent overheating and damage the appliance. According to Sam Cipiti of R. M. Tunis Kitchens and Baths in Chevy Chase, Maryland the minimum cabinet depth of a built-in oven is 15 inches. However some manufacturers offer trim kits with up to 1 1/2 inch of extra space for ventilation.

A microwave that is built like a drawer can be placed beneath your counter or within an island. This type of microwave is simple to use, suitable for all users and requires less countertop space. It also helps prevent hot dishes from falling off the edge or being thrown down.

A final consideration for an efficient microwave built is its door design. Many brands offer the option of a swing-out, drop-down, or slide-out door that opens in the same motion as other kitchen appliances to help you seamlessly integrate your microwave into your cooking workflow.

While microwaves built into ovens are useful, they are not as flexible as microwaves that stand on their own. Depending on the place you install your microwave, it will require more space to operate than other microwaves. Similarly, they aren't as portable and you won't be able to easily switch out the model for a new one if you'd like a different model.

If you place your microwave above your range, you'll need an additional kitchen space to accommodate the ventilation system required by this setup. You'll need either a ducting option that directs smoke out to the outside or a ventilator that recirculates air from the microwave into the home. For a smaller kitchen think about an additional built-in microwave that can be installed inside a cabinet, wall or island.

Convenient Controls

Microwaves come with a variety of controls based on the model. Some of the features include turntables, presets for defrosting or reheating, as well as buttons for plus-30 seconds. Some models offer safety features for children that stop accidental use of the appliance.

Many microwaves also have pre-made recipes and cooking times that make the process of making meals quicker and more efficient. This feature is helpful for new cooks who aren't sure of the time to heat certain foods or for those who aren't acquainted with the particular cooking techniques employed in various cuisines.

KitchenAid offers a range of built-in microwaves as well as over-the-range microwaves that can be matched to your other appliances with design and finish to create seamless appearance. There's a variety of stainless steel models as well as black and white 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.

Unlike countertop models built in microwave and grill-in microwaves are inserted into a fixed space in your kitchen's cabinets or walls for a sleek and custom appearance. The internal components are usually the same as those of regular countertop models with the exception of. These models come in different sizes, and some are designed to fit into small integrated microwave spaces. Their exteriors could have a door which opens in a swing-out from left to right or drop-down style.

Certain microwaves that are over the range, such as those made by Whirlpool(r) are able to be used as vent hoods. They come with an exhaust system built in to vent fumes outdoors and recirculate the air. Others have a built-in charcoal filter to eliminate moisture and odors from your kitchen.

Countertop models are positioned on the counter in the kitchen. They don't need venting or any special installation. This makes them an ideal choice for people who rent their homes or wish to stay clear of costly modifications to their kitchens.

Energy Efficiency

Microwaves are much more efficient at heating water and food compared to other cooking methods. They also consume less power than stovetops that are conventional because microwaves concentrate their energy on the liquid in, rather than heating the air surrounding it. They can heat up dishes much faster than conventional ovens. They can be put in your lower or upper cabinets, and come with modern or retro styling to fit any kitchen design.

In this additional notification of proposed rulemaking ("SNOPR") the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy proposes new or modified energy conservation standards for microwave ovens, which will save consumers money on their operating costs. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act ("EPCA") requires DOE to evaluate on a regular basis whether more-stringent standards would be economically viable and technologically feasible and could result in significant energy savings.

This SNOPR contains DOE's analyses and results to evaluate the impact of the new or modified energy standards for microwave ovens on consumers. The analysis includes a technology and market assessment and screening analysis, an engineering analysis and national impacts analysis.

The energy use analysis estimates the average annual microwave oven operating hours in the sample of households. This analysis is used to calculate energy savings as well as other consumer-related analyses in this SNOPR. The analysis is built on RECS field data from a variety of regions, and takes into account the various patterns of use of microwave ovens in different households and also the variations in regional electricity prices.

To evaluate the impact of the new or modified standards on household expenses, DOE conducted LCC analyses and PBP analyses to estimate the cost over time of purchasing and using a microwave oven at various levels of efficiency. The LCC and PBP calculations use an algorithm built on Monte Carlo simulations to incorporate uncertainties and variations into the analysis.

This SNOPR includes an assessment of the impact of the new or amended standards on the national level, based on the NIA spreadsheet. The NIA model estimates the industry's net present value ("INPV") in terms of energy savings resulting from the potential amendment or new standards in the form of energy savings on site and FFC energy savings.
