We're VERY HAPPY with this GE Cafe Advantium. It replaced a GE Monogram that we owned for about 10 years. We had numerous microtron tube issues with that oven, and really did not want to purchase another GE product. However, the features for this GE Cafe oven were so much better than competitive brands for the price, and the reviews we read were so positive, that we decided to give GE another try.
So far, so good. Love the LARGE size of the oven...very deep and very wide. We installed it in the same cabinet space as our old GE, and were able to do so without any carpentry adjustment, which was nice...just put it in the cavity, plugged it in, and installed four screws. Even so, the cooking area in this oven is much larger than the old GE, and from what we could find, larger than most competitive brands that fit in the same cabinet space, or even larger cabinet space.
We have not yet consulted the owners manual to operate the microwave. It's that easy to use. Functions are very intuitive, and the cooking quality is great...always the right temperature. We were not sure if we'd like the turn knob, as it looks "analog", compared to the electronic controls, but it turns out that it's really nice to use, and a great way to select functions and options.
The very large turntable is great. One strange thing though...the carriage that is underneath the glass turntable has "TOP" printed on the metal, so when we installed it we made sure that "TOP" faced UP. 'turns out that it would constantly come off the axle that turned it. Our solution was to flip it upside down, and it's been working great ever since.
Another strange thing is that the clock goes to sleep about a minute after showing. We moved through options on the control panel on how to change this, and consulted the owners manual, but to no avail. For us it's not a big deal as the convection oven under this oven also has a clock.
We've not yet used the speed cook or convection cook functions, but Thanksgiving is around the corner, and we're looking forward to giving that a try.
