We also have a 120V advantium (ours is OTR) and really like it. The newer ones seem even better than ours, but ours works just fine. We use it more for microwaving and regular baking (rather than speedcooking) but we do use the speedcooking capability from time to time. From what I understand, the new ones have a rack that can go in which I really like the idea of - my one caveat to ours is that it has only the turntable, on which you need to fit your baking dishes - not always the easiest size to fit. We did have problems with the bulb about a year into owning it, but we didn't bother replacing it at that time. It had a big circuit board problem though about 2 months ago which was pretty expensive to fix - that said, from what I understand our experience was atypical (and may have been a power surge issue). In addition, there is an online site (I think it was instuctables.com) that explains how to replace the bulb yourself. Bottom line? We're doing an addition to our new house and completely redoing the kitchen, and I'm pretty positive there will be a 120V Advantium (possibly the Monogram this time) in that kitchen (along with a 36" gas range and a Gagg combi-steam). We find its flexibility extremely useful.

Jenny  hopefully some others will chime in  or you could ask Advantium specific questions which are bound to get answered. As for the turntable rack, I was referring to the Advantium OTR. So, it CAN be used in the 120 built-in but not the OTR? For sure it can be used in the 120 built-in. Convection is hot air circulating around and over the food to help cook it more evenly than a conventional oven. The hot air will definitely surround the food on two levels. IÂm sure you will love cooking with Convection. Convection alone is marginally faster than conventional  but the results are superior. The Profile allows for "Fast Bake" which combines the MW (cooks food from within - all nice and juicy) with the Convection hot air (cooks and browns nicely on the outside) for an increase in time up to 25% faster. IÂve never used a speed oven (Halogen lights) but I would think the lights would have to hit the food for it to brown so I canÂt see how a double rack would work in the OTR Advantium ovens. I will also tell you that there is a steep learning curve for speed cooking (Advantium). Very few cookbooks deal with this so it is a lot of time and error figuring out what works. This is not the case with Convection. Obviously, IÂm leaning toward the Profile  but IÂm just sharing my reasons why. I do most cooking from scratch, not much prepackaged/prepared items. I would think it would be useful for meatloafs, lasagna, chicken/meat, veggies, cookies, brownies, bread etc. Really, most anything you use your oven for, right? So, a second oven would be nice. You will love Convection for all of these purposes and yes  a second oven that can also double as a warming drawer would be very nice. :-) Does the Advantium have enough *space* for cooking items like this (assuming you might want to use a 9 x 13 pan? The Advantiums are smaller. I donÂt think you can get a 9 x 13 in the OTR Advantium  not 100% sure though. I think you can with the Velos  that thing is a monster! Speedbake would be a nice feature, but how is the Advantium Speedbake different from the Profile? Speedbake uses MicroWaves along with Halogen lights. The Profile can "fast bake" using MW and Convection. You can also use Convection alone in the Profile. I will probably use this more than Fast Bake or MW. But I can do all three in the Profile. :-) My last question (ha!) is, do you think the Advantium browns better than the Profile? Remember  Convection alone is just a better oven than Conventional Radiant heat. So better browning. Does Speed Bake using Halogen/MW lights brown better than Fast Bake using Convection/MW??? Good question! My guess would be "No". I hope others weigh in I really see no advantage to the OTR Advantium (the built-in 120 is a different story). The OTR's do not have Convection. This seriously limits your options if a second oven is what you want.

Well, you can read my posts on the GE unit I had. I've seen several places that will give you a 4 year extended warranty (through GE and after manuf warranty ends) for only only $90. I would buy the warranty for either unit. The Advantium also seems to have some reliability issues so make sure you are covered if it breaks. It is handy having the cooking feature but we still used our toaster oven way more than the convection features of our MW. We mainly just used it when we had a big party or for the holidays.

Also, the 120v says that it only does one function at a time. Does that mean if I'm cooking something in the Advantium while cooking on my range, it won't be able to vent for the range at the same time?
