Advantium 240 OTR vs. below-the-counter 240 built-in?
Comments (7)Chris- I've had my 240 built-in Advantium for over 3 years now. It's installed below the counter in my island. In my old house I had a 240 Advantium in the upper cabinets over a counter. I far prefer my current arrangement. I spent hours on the phone with GE in the building phase trying to find out what would happen if it was installed under the counter. They said it would void the warranty. There was a poster who, however, needed service on their built-in under-the-counter, and the repair was, in fact, covered under the warranty. So, who knows? I find it much easier to lift dishes to the counter (especially piping hot ones) vs having to steady them down from above. We have had not issues regarding performance in the under-the-counter location. Good luck....See MoreGE Advantium 120 volt - new model vs old?
Comments (0)We're doing a kitchen remodel and are going to put in a GE Advantium 120 volt wall oven. The current model (PSB1001NSS) retails for roughly $1600. We can find an older version (SCB1001KSS) for under $800. Does anyone know of any reason to not get the older (less than three years old) version? Anyone know what changed between the two versions? Saving $800 would greatly help the budget....See MoreAdvantium 120 Vs. 240
Comments (1)First, the 240 is FOUR TIMES the power of the 120V and the effect is not just faster but adds capabilities you will not get in any other appliance. By way of example, I will not blacken fish on the stove top. Just too much mess and smoke. Do it all the time in the Advantium. No problem and easy cleanup. You can do FAR worse than the combo of 240 Advantium and a Monogram Trivection oven. Been very pleased with my combo for 3 years now. There is always the Profile line if you like the look better but they are mostly the same for these two appliances....See MoreAdvantium Speed Cook 120v or 240v?
Comments (16)Using the Advantium as a workhorse MW will really shorten the lifespan of the magnetron. How often does this happen? I think my aunt did finally wear out her Radar Range after 35 years, but I don't know anyone else who has killed one? I know someone who had a problem with the door latch, but it was easily fixed. Do people really wear out the magnetron? How long does it take? I've been trying to learn to use the speed oven part of my Advantium, but so far I haven't been happy with the results. Definite learning curve. But Fiddledd, the MW and oven part are pretty straightforward and don't take a lot of learning. Hint for the MW--if you press Express it turns on for 30 seconds. Pressing again adds 30 to the clock, but you can use the wheel to adjust the time up or down to suit yourself. That's the easiest way to get precise control. You can change the time that way once you've pressed start if you're using the menus as well....See Moremisplacedtxgal
