Cons: the need to change trays for different cooking functions

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended if you need a microwave and second oven in tight space

Review: We bought this to use while our kitchen was being remodeled, and to install in the kitchen after the remodel. It was my sole oven for several months this past winter (temporarily installed in another room) and I feel that I could not have survived ...

Pros: Looks great and offers practically endless features.

Cons: Convection oven can cause total system shutdown, requiring expensive service call.

Review: I've enjoyed using our Advantium 120 for almost 2 years without any problems at all, until a few days ago. About twenty minutes into using the convection oven (at 450F), it suddenly shutdown completely and without warning--blank display, no lights, ...

Pros: Microwave works OK.

Cons: Service from GE is terrible and things do break.

The Bottom Line: If you are likely to use some of the convection or speed cook functions it would be a good choice, if not find a better model with better service.

Review: We've had this microwave for just under 4 years. So far the microwave funtion and what oven funtions we've used are OK. The fan is very loud but seems to do what it is supposed to do. The microwave functions are very easy to use. Some of the other ...

Pros: Cooks extremely rapidly when in nuclear-blast mode.

Cons: Terrible design resulting in multiple replacements. Noisy. Smokey.

Review: We had one of the early Advantium models installed in our house when the house was built in early 2001. It failed. GE replaced it. It failed. GE replaced it. The third one has worked for the past few years, but (1) the plastic grills above ...

Pros: Cooks as a standard oven and as a microwave.

Cons: Quality is poor. Service is expensive. Exhaust fan ineffective and loud.

The Bottom Line: Very expensive and unreliable product.

Review: We primarily use the oven and microwave features and they work OK, but we have not been impressed with the speedcook. We haven't found the speedcook to be that much faster than microwaving alone. This oven has a exhaust venting System to quickly ...

Pros: Looks good, when working, clock is accurate

Cons: Fails rapidly, doesn't brown, weak microwave.

Review: WE now have our second dead Advantium in less than 4 years. Our first one died and we succeeded in getting our warranty company to replace it after 3 months of failed repairs. Basically, the same deal as the first one. The cavity light stopped ...
