First thing that jumps out is the spec for power: 208v ac which is 2 phase 115v. No other option mentioned. This is "commercial power" commonly available only for homeowners in a high rise residential setting because of elevators that require it. You will notice the Panasonic units seem more flexible when it comes to power options.

We have a Monogram Advantium 240 wall unit that is both a speed oven & microwave. It has upper & lower halogen bulbs rather than a conventional broiler element. It can brown as well as cook foods, but cannot conventionally toast nor is it a convection oven. There are two sets of button controls, the left set for speed oven & the right set for microwave. Each has programmed recipes plus the choice to do your own thing. The oven comes with a turntable & several trays that go on the turntable. In speed cook mode, you can place a glass ovenproof dish directly on the turntable or use one of the supplied metal trays. For microwave mode, you must use the supplied white ceramic tray.

GT500 is a 5.4l, 32V DOHC engine with roots type supercharger. The super snake package starts at 605 with the TVS blower. With the KennyBell blower (Ford Racing/Whipple for 2010) it is rated at 725. Mine dynoed at 605 at the rear wheels while being tuned. Going from 500 stock to 625 is less than $1500 in upgrades and well known, supported. Gets a bit more expnesive after that but I still have less than 3000 in HP upgrades. Ford has upgrade components to get this car well past 800hp and the aftermarket well past that. The factory tuned engines are well detuned. The KR was a collector's car, not really a performance upgrade from the more normal GT500s. Thanks for you folks thoughts on the microwaves and turbo-chef. I'll do a bit more looking and reading before making a decision. For me, the 240VAC outlet was not a problem. Already have 3 in the kitchen now and can easily install another.

We bought the Electrolux Icon 30" speed oven April of 2006 for $1397 + tax. It is still our most used appliance, The New Icon Induction cooktop that we bought, comes in 2nd, and wayyyy behind those 2 is the Electrolux Icon Convection oven. All have been trouble free. We use the speed oven for "Speed cooking" not nuking yams and baked potatoes, takes bout 7 to 8 minutes (+ preheat time about 5 mins) The convection oven would take 45 minutes + (preheat Probably about 15 mins). Saves a lotta energy and the taters and yams come out great. I also use the speed oven for making toasts, roasting turkey legs, and dressing etc etc etc. When our new-fancy-expensive cooktop died(In less than 2 years Caldera) we even used the speed oven to boil water for spaghetti, as well as cooking the spaghetti sauce in it It boils water a lot faster than the Gas DCS burners, I have outside. Anyway now we have the Induction cooktop, so the speed oven is back to "More routine tasks" One thing we like about the Electrolux Speed oven is that it's "default mode" is microwave--so no fooling around with a menu if ya just wanna "Nuke something. Especially handy early in the AM as I use it to "Nuke my instant coffee" I just push 111 and hit the green start button. Very east also when ya not in a "Nukin' Mood" It has a button for grill, one for roast and one for bake or you canh choose "auto cooking" and follow the bouncing ball "A La Miele" Anyway, we wouldn't hesitate to cook anything in it that would fit, Wife doesn't bake cakes--so no experience there. Good Luck with your choice---I hope they make the Speed ovens in a 24 inch size Electrolux or the Miele, should that be your choice. The Electrolux does require 220 volt power instead of the usual "House 110 volt"--I suspect the Miele does too. Gary
