GE PSA9240SFSS Microwave Oven

I had the old model, but someone put metal in the microwave and did it in. This is so much better than the old model. It is truly a convection oven now. It comes with two racks and it will fit 2 of the large aluminum foil pans. It heats up quickly. I use it frequently as an oven, along with the typical microwave uses.

Advantiums are awesome.

Only had it 2 days, but wow can this thing cook and the video's don't lie! First time I put 2 NY strip steaks in it. 11 minutes later - darn near perfect steaks! 2nd time we put in 3 fresh ground hamburgers straight from the fridge, dialed in the speed cook setting and in 8 minutes we had absolutely perfect well done hamburgers. I'm not a fan of well done anything primarily because it get's dried out, but these burgers were cooked evenly all the way through and were still moist. Yeah - it's cost a lot - but so far it's worth it!

I just had a new Advantium installed this morning. It is the 3rd I've had. The one I replaced was working, but had a malfunction recently that I suspect indicated it was time to replace it. I love these ovens—the speedcook feature is amazing. I've learned through experience that using it for grilling is not a great idea, because grease spatters all over the interior and is difficult to clean—it gets baked on very solidly and I never found a cleaner that would remove it completely. The other thing I noticed with the previous oven, and just tested in the new oven, is that in straight convection baking mode the temperature is off by precisely 50°. There is an automatic convection conversion feature which will reduce the actual temperature by 25° from the temperature you set, but I ensured that it is off and the 50° disparity is real using measurements from two oven thermometers on the two different levels (racks). --- Updated 3/1/17 in the PM --- I spoke too soon! After running the convection test, I left the house for a couple of hours and came back to find the oven making a noise like it was trying to run a fan but failing...very mechanical sound. It starts and stops, over and over and over. Unplugging the oven and plugging it back in does not stop it. So after having this particular oven less than three hours I have already had to call GE and schedule a repair appointment. Not a happy camper! I'd rate this 5 stars if the convection temperature was precise, but since I'll have to remember to adjust temperature upwards by 25° for recipes, I'm knocking off a star.
