3.0 out of 5 stars
I enyoy my Advantium, but a word to the wise......, October 25, 2008
I luv my Advantium, however those considering this oven need to know it does require a 220 v outlet. It will brown foods with halogen bulbs on top and bottom, bakes cookies and breads, yum!I have had my Advantium for about 7 years with fairly light to moderate use when a fuse had to be replaced, along with some electrical panel work. Sears will work on these ovens and that cost me a little over 300 bucks. So my frustration was, here I purchased what I thought was a well-made, high quality oven/microwave, and it let me down after only 7 years. OH, also it malfunctioned again early this year and I am trying to decide whether to get it fixed or just buy a regular microwave. IN the meantime, i am using my 26 year old JCpenneys microwave until I decide what to do. They don't make'em like they used to!!!

Love my Advantium!, December 19, 2008
I have had my Advantium for about 5 years and I love it! The other reviewer says you have to have a 220V outlet, but that's not true for this oven. It does come in BOTH sizes, and since the title of this item says "120", it will plug into a regular outlet.
It's not a really simple to use microwave, but it's extremely versatile. It is very easy, with one push, to make it do 30-second microwave increments at 100%, but if you want to microwave at a lower percent, you really have to know what you're doing! (Turn to "time-cook" under "microwave" , push "enter", then select your time, press "enter", and then turn the power dial and press "enter" again!) I've always said that you can't be simple-minded and use this machine!
I love having a small oven which bakes (and REALLY "bake", and not microwave) a casserole or baked goods. It's also wonderful at re-heating pizza using "speed-cook" in just a VERY few minutes, on its black oven tray. It comes out crispy and not floppy like it does when reheated in a microwave.
I'm sure it will do a lot more than I have used it for, and I think it's a great combination oven.
