The controls are easy to use. It has speed cook which will cook your dish, meat, roast in a fraction of the time it takes for a conventional oven and it comes out perfect. It has a conventional oven setting that also cooks your dish as well as any other conventional oven. And of course the microwave feature will cook anything with the perfect finish. The temperature sensors work so well. An added bonus is that it comes with a recipe book that will use all of the features of the oven and has so many good recipes. Be sure to check that your cabinets are well attached because this oven is heavier than your typical microwave.

Let's be clear. This is not just a microwave and it's way more than a convection oven! The Speedcook feature is what sets this appliance part from the rest. I've had my Advantium for 2 months now and have used Speedcook extensively to reheat plates of food, cook steaks,, bacon, and burgers and roast vegetables. My most favorite thing so far is roasting a whole chicken in about a half hour and without heating my kitchen up in the hot desert summer. Cooking using all 3 methods, radiant, convection and microwave and all at the same time is what makes this happen. btw- The chicken is perfectly cooked and juicy as can be. I also love the broil function for melting cheese and the ability to create and save my own Speedcook recipes. Only things to note are be sure to buy the Advantium 240 if you want the Speedcook option to work as fast as I describe. Also know that the microwave has about 10% less power than some out there on the market which is an OK trade-off for me. Finally, I had wondered how it would be to clean this oven knowing that meats spatter. Well, they do spatter so keeping up on that is key. What I do is as soon as the oven cools, I wipe the spatter with a damp sponge then use Weiman Range Cooktop cleaner which will also remove anything you missed the last time so my oven is always like new.

This is an absolutely exceptional microwave/convection oven when it works. The best part is that it crisps food quickly. However, Advantiums always break and waiting for the necessary parts to fix them takes at least six months and the repairs are crazy expensive. This is our third Advantium over the course of 20 years. The last time, it took over two years waiting for one part. Since we got the extended warranty, we were finally given a replacement unit after an unacceptable wait time. If purchasing this unit, be sure to get the extended warranty.
