OTR - Advantium vs Convection?
Comments (0)I need to replace my OTR micro/hood -in a super big hurry!- and am trying to understand the advantages of a GE Advantium 120 (model: SCA1001KSS) vs the non-Advantium convection (model: JVM1790SK). I'm interested only in the OTR models not wall or any counter top models. I looked at them in the store today and it seems these both aren't much of a bump in price over a nice micro/hood alone so wanted to look into these. With the Advantium there seemed to be a lot of steps to use it as a micro except for the express 30 sec key and my main use would likely be the micro though mostly for reheating/beverages. Is the only actual use difference between Advantium vs convection the speed? Both bake/brown/micro don't they? Does one give better results? The salesperson couldn't tell me much if anything - the first person I talked to didn't even know what or that they carried (they did) an Advantium. I'd really appreciate any/all advice...thanks so much!...See More4X Convection Micro vs Sharp Convection Micro
Comments (0)always been a Sharp fan for Convecton Microwaves....but there is this new oven by halftimeovens.....they sell the "halftime" and the 4X. The 4X using micro and convection at the same time and requires a 20amp circuit. I know the Sharp, and am confident in it, the 4X sounds great, but it's some company out of nowhere, only sold online and thru wall mart, so I'm dubious. I'd like a Convection Micro for my Airstream Trailer, plus, I'm remodling a kitchen and was going to go with an Advantium 120, but wonder if this is better???? Thoughts? Thanks!!

Comments (11)Hello Jam5 I am probably the person Jeri referred to regarding the warranty being approved by GE for placing the Advantium under counter. I had already purchased the oven and had ordered my cabs when I found out this could be an issue. I immediately called GE and the rep said "no problem" for undercounter installation. It will not void your warranty. I have, in fact, used the warranty to have the interior light replaced. The fact that the oven has to be removed from the cabinet to replace the light is an engineering defect, I think, but after seeing it done, I could do it myself if I had to and I am old! I continue to like this appliance very much and, as I am sure I have said many times, for the two of us, it is all we use for convection cooking, microwave and warming. It is the perfect "second oven" in my opinion....See MoreAdvantium vs. GE micro/convect
Comments (1)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....See Moreotfeldodja
