the clock doesn't work. If I open the door the clock comes on for 20 seconds and then goes off. They told me this was an energy saving feature but it renders the clock useless. who wants to open the microwave door every time to see what time it is? Also the buttons do not light up at all. The one on the showroom floor works right.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Frustrating Controls
on November 15, 2017
Posted by: Johnnie68

The oven works fine, if you can figure out which button to push. The controls are very confusing. To me the digital features are overdone and you have to scroll through a menu just to do simple tasks. As a result we use the 30 second button almost exclusively which defeats the purpose of all of the fancy features. The analog looking dial on the front looks cheap. Why not use digital up and down keypads and an enter button? I hate the fact that the clock does not display constantly. Being wall mounted it is one of the most prominent appliances in the kitchen, yet the display is always blank. Ironically we have a GE Cafe series gas range that was installed at the same time and the clock display is always on. So why do the rules about energy consumption apply to one and not the other?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very happy, few unhappy points
on December 6, 2017

We purchased this unit about 2 years ago. I've been very happy with it. Works well.
Few awkward features that I'm less than happy with:
1. We were surprised to discover the door handle is plastic with a GE Cafe wrapper. About 6 mo ago, the wrapper has started to peel. This is quality far below what I expect for Cafe series.
2. The door handle heats up from the GE Cafe gas range below it. This is something I've never noticed in an over the range microwave. One might consider this to be a feature.
3. It always ceases to amaze me at how long it takes for the microwave to heat a cup of warm tap water to boiling. Well above 3 minutes. 2-3 cups in glass measuring is well over 5 minutes. This is far slower than every other microwave I ever used, which typically boils water in 1.30 - 2 min. I use my tea kettle. It's quicker.

We have owned Advantium ovens in 3 homes. Most recently we replaced a standard microwave with an Advantium making it number 3.
