This is a beautiful appliance, loaded with features. Purchased for a number of reasons, including the hype about the Advantium, and because we did not want a microwave on the countertop. As an oven, the biggest issue is preheating; takes almost 15 minutes to get to temp - 300 to 350 degrees. The microwave is a big disappointment, my 1984 vintage under cabinet microwave does a better job on the normal day to day things you use a microwave for - defrosting and reheating; this microwave does a better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Joe 7,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your new wall oven/microwave. We regret your experience. Many factors go into the design of our products and consumer input is a top priority. Other factors, such as consumer expectations, manufacturing, cost, changing technology and product appearance are also part of the design decision. We appreciate your feedback.
Love our ovens. I have a design problem with the having to turn a knob for the timer. We also built in the matching microwave and the buttons are not arranged very well. But I will get use to it.
