Great oven not so great redesigned features

We replaced our original Advantium with this newer version. We loved our original one and used it constantly for almost 16 years. We were disappointed to discover that the size has been changed (it's 4" shorter), which meant it no longer fit our custom built cabinet and we had to either redo the cabinet or purchase a $400 accessory drawer for it to fit. The newer model is more powerful and is an amazing appliance! But the inner trays have been redesigned to be the maximum size that will fit inside the oven. Heavy and awkward to place in and out of the oven, even more so when the food and oven are hot. (On the speed cook setting, the food is directly on the metal tray so the entire tray has to be lifted in and out of the oven with the food on it.) It requires two hands and often the food spills out the back as there is no extra room to handle the tray from its sides. The previous, smaller sizes were much more user friendly. I have to wonder if a man who never cooks oversaw these design changes. The tray size isn't really as much of an issue with the microwave setting, as the food is in another bowl and then placed on the tray.

We loved our old one so much that we replaced it with a new one when it finally died after 12 years!

It takes awhile to figure out all the controls. Prefer a hard copy manual for general operation. Ex: popcorn is very hard to find in the controls. The mechanical feature we would like to have incorporated is a side opening door. This would allow for product owners to reach in and clean the unit with less strain. (My wife is 5'7" and still can't reach inside to clean without a step ladder. The model we owned in the early 2000's opened from the side and was much easier to clean and reach into.)
For our earlier model we were told to use a glass cooktop cleaner to clean the inside. This worked really well for baked on food. But now, it's hot water and Cerama Bryte and there is still staining on the walls (we do clean it each time).
The first generation Advantium had more preprogrammed menus and was more intuitive. The new model is much less cook-friendly. Have a real user help design the help menu and buttons/controls. Even the oven light switch was not intuitive.

I love the versatility of this oven. It works great as a microwave with many different settings and options for cooking and reheating. The convection oven feature allows me to have an extra oven when cooking large meals.

Love it! The combination microwave and wall oven allowed us to clear our counters of the old toaster oven and roaster oven. For our house warming, we were able to good a complete meal and keep everything warm as we did it. Movie night is also so easy with the quick popcorn setting...kids think that's important to add.

Great features on this product. Would be nice if clock stayed on all time. Door closes a little too hard. Wish the door opened so that it would be level. Most women are not real tall so if microwave is installed above oven makes it a little harder for access. This is replacing a GE profile Advantium of 15 years which was great.

This oven is amazing! I have had it for just over three months now and I continue learning more about its features every day! It is easy to use the typical features immediately, but there is a bit of a learning curve to take full advantage of advanced features....totally worth the bit of extra effort! This oven does it all, does if expediently, and does it consistently!

At this price point, I mistakenly assumed it would be a quality product. The reality turned out to be the opposite. The unit suddenly stopped working after 8 months, or so. Since then, despite being on warranty still, it has been 2 months since my initial call. I have no clue when it will finally be fixed.
Try some other brands.

We're thrilled to have the Advantum. In our previous home, we had a 2002 Whirlpool style that is not longer available. We're thrilled with cooking most of our meals in the oven. It is so versatile. It's the best appliance in the kitchen!

We installed the Advantium in our new home and just after the 1-year warranty expired the "Magnetron" died. Almost $500 later we finally have it working again. So disappointing!

When choosing appliances as part of our entire home gut and remodel we had to balance a lot of things, including the budget (when you are doing a house and not just a kitchen, there are calls for funds from every room). I looked at a lot of brands but was really intrigued by GE's Advantium technology. I compared it with all the other speedcook ovens on the market and really felt GE's approach was vastly superior. However, I knew of no one who owned one so I was never able to see one demonstrated or test the results. So I just read what I could fine online.
This item is definitely a splurge with its hefty price tag. But we decided to go for it and put our faith in the reviews.
I can't comment on reliability as we just moved back in a week ago from being out of our home for 6 months. But what I can tell you is that every day we've lived here we've used the thing. From chicken, to pork chops, cinnamon rolls and even Texas Toast--perfect. All with no pre-heating, which I did not really think about in advance as a big feature, but is a huge time saver. I keep thinking about how I can use this for everything all the time...it is truly revolutionary. If it wasn't so expensive, I'm certain everyone would have one of these already.
One caution--the items that come out of this thing are hot--just like a conventional oven. Because of that I wish I had mounted it a little lower than directly above my regular oven--it is hard to reach with pot holders into its tiny microwave-sized cavity to pull hot baking dishes out without touching the burning sides of the oven, particularly when it is so high in the wall.
Since moving in I have used everyone one of my GE appliances, from the induction cooktop, built-in refrigerator, DW, disposal etc. The only one I have not used is the regular conventional oven. That's because this Advantium technology makes that thing obsolete for almost everything. You'll love it!

Original 2001 240v model much better
ginhow
12/10/2019
I thought I would get a new Advantium 240v oven to replace my 240v 19 year old one that still works. Well, the new one is bigger - door doesn't lay flat when open so your arms hit the hot door when trying to take things out, My oven is eye level. I am 5'4" with an arm length of 29". Front to back of oven with door open is 30". I cannot reach the back wall of the oven to clean and its finish is not the same as the side walls. Have had the oven 8 months and inside it looks like I've never cleaned the back of the oven for years. Reheat settings are too high as everything boils over when using this sensor option. Oven light does not stay on - only for 3 seconds. Yes this new oven has convection as well as microwave and light cooking but really wish I could return the oven and install my old one. Bigger is not better and oven gets way too hot and takes too long to cool if you need to change trays from metal to glass for using the microwave. I would not buy this oven, but love my original one and it never had a service call and looks brand new inside the oven and out.

When it works it's very nice. Unfortunately one of the sensors keeps going bad and stops us from using the oven feature at all. The third time it went bad it was on a 13 month old appliance. What a shame GENERAL ELECTRIC can't produce a $3000 oven that goes bad after 13 months. Btw we may have used the oven feature 3 times for a total of about an hour in that 13 months.

I purchased this appliance to replace a similar one that was 10 years old. So far, I find it to be quieter. I wish the time of day would stay on all the time and not just when I open the oven.

We love our Advantium especially the 220 volt model. This model is very fast in the Speed cook mode. I had a 110 volt version of this oven in a previous house the 220 V blows it out of the water and I loved that oven. We are so happy we made this choice!

This seriously is the best appliance ever invented and the reason we purchased all of the rest. Absolutely delivers as promised. Fully cooked baked potatoes in under 15 minutes. It's beautiful and functional and we use it every day. So much more than a microwave. Worth the extra money and once you own one, will never go back.

It does not meet my expectations. When I have used the bake/broil side it does not get hot enough. It may be that I need more time for test driving this appliance.

Great when it works, but we've had the unit fail on us twice already in just 3 years of ownership. This was the model that came with new house and first issue was the motherboard circuit failing as soon as warranty period was over. Would definitely not recommend!

This is for the 240v version...everything weve cooked with the speed cook programmed cooks have been good...chicken breasts, pork chops, steaks and pizza. Steaks are almost as good as low temp smoked and reversed seared, with 10 minutes instead of 45. Microwave alone is a little weak at just under 1000 watts, so takes a little longer than we've been used to
