I had owned the original model bought in 2002. It lasted over 18 years. Was very happy with it. I recently replaced it with this newer and updated model and even more thrilled with it now that the interior is larger. It's a bit pricey but if you don't have room for a second oven, this is worth it.
I'm so excited about this oven! It was included in our new home package and I've used it more than I've used the regular oven and it's only been 10 days. I love that it comes with a grill plate, baking plate and microwave plate; the only thing I haven't used yet is the grill plate. I'd definitely purchase this again if I ever need to replace it.
This is our second Advantium! Our first lasted 25 years and needed to be replaced so we didn’t hesitate on this purchase. It is the best appliance I’ve ever had and the new model now has convection baking.
I installed one of these in our old apartment in 2006 and it got a lot of use, but we moved and I finally had a chance to purchase and install this unit last month. Kicking myself for not having gotten one sooner. Especially in the dead of winter months and ending the work day late in the evening having this Advantium means I can create a great meal far faster than with a traditional oven and with far better results than your average microwave. If you get one of these, give yourself time to really learn how to use it, once you've mastered it, you'll be glad you did, especially if you are pressed for time to get dinner on the table and want to prepare healthy meals for your family.
