The only issue I see is if you find yourself Air Frying an entre and then trying to heat up a side vegetable that you might have typically used a microwave for this.

It sounds versatile enough to be useful.

IMO so many things to go wrong all in one appliance. I don’t even like a MW with a wall oven in one unit.

Interesting. It sounds similar to Breville Combi microwave in many respects. Except the Breville doesn't the broiler function, that I recall. I don't have experience with either one, but the Breville may be worth comparing?

I am looking to remove my over the range microwave for a better hood, and have a small kitchen + cook a lot, so having multiple functions in a countertop microwave is appealing to me, too. I use the current microwave a lot, but only to defrost / heat up cold coffee. It makes me either want to eliminate the microwave entirely, or get one that has a few extra functions to justify the space it wants to eat.

Thanks for the comments. One of my main concerns with this unit is the size (big for a small kitchen) and that it most likely would have to be placed on the countertop. Tradeoffs for every choice I need to make.

This is so interesting that this posting finally showed up! I posted this TWO days ago and couldn't figure out what happened to the posting. The site said it had posted, but it never appeared. So, I tried again. I will look to see if the other posting finally also showed up.

It will fit in a microwave kitchen cabinet. They also sell SS wall mount shelves to hold the microwave.

I took a look at the Advantium. It's out of my price range too!

I looked at the Breville 3 in 1; it requires 8" of breathing space all around. So, that eliminates it for anything except countertop applications.

The Panasonic could maybe work on a shelf since it requires less clearance than the Breville-- 6" of clearance at the top, 4" at the back, and 2" on both sides. Since the dimensions of the machine are 22" w x 13.5" h x 17.8" d, it could fit on a shelf on in a cubby that is 26" w x 19.5 H x 21.8" d (not exactly a small opening). I like Beverly's idea, but this seems like a unit that is also probably too large for use as a shelf type application.

This is the air fryer toaster oven I have. Love it. I have barely used my microwave since getting it last Christmas. THE WHOLE FAMILY LOVES THIS THING!!! https://www.amazon.com/Instant-Pot-Omni-Plus-Toaster/dp/B07V3NM8QL

Thanks, Beverly. I need the microwave function included.

I’m looking for the same and wonder what the OP chose? I need the micro function because I’m a sipper and warm up coffee a lot, heat water for tea. Plus leftovers and steaming broccoli etc. I also love my countertop air fryer. So fast for those fries and pizza heat ups for grandkids. Also great for making a few cookies from the dough that I freeze. It’s be great to have a good air fry micro combo. My counters are so cluttered drives me and my husband crazy but I can’t be bothered with hauling things out all the time. Toaster too. Kitchenaid mixer I’ve had for 45 years, which is heavy.
Suggestions?

I ended up with the GE Advantium and have been happy with my decision. It acts like a small oven so I don't need to heat up the regular oven and is also a standard microwave. I guess the only downside is that obviously it can't do 2 different functions at once.

Julieste- thanks for the quick reply!

Don't bother with the Sharp MW drawer with air fryer, convection, etc. I've gone into details on other threads, but the only function it performs well is MW. Talked to service and he agreed with my complaints and said it was what you could expect from a 110v appliance. Similar reviews to mine on the other threads. Just get the basic Sharp MW drawer and not a combo appliance.

OP - Do you mind sharing where you put this GE appliance in your kitchen. Over the range or built in to a wall? Thank you!

I have a very small kitchen--U shaped 9' x 13'-- with very little wall cabinetry. I know all about the reasons so many people don't like putting a microwave over the range, but in my scenario I didn't have space to do anything but mount it over the range. For the most part it seems fine to me although if I had a lot more space I might opt for a different placement. Unless you are building a brand new house and have unlimited space and unlimited funds, people have to make compromises based on the space they have to work with.

Thanks for your response! Totally agree about the need for compromises. I'm renovating a 12x12' kitchen and decided I don't like the microwave drawers, but now scrambling to find an alternative! So it looks like something else will have to give. I'm trying to remember that function is more important than the aesthetic!

I’m having same issue with microwave placement. Look like I’m just going to put it on a counter since that works best for me right now. Over the range won’t work and I also don’t like the drawer idea. Function is important! I didn’t realize how much until I broke my arm and hand!
