GE Profile - 1.7 Cu. Ft. Convection Over-the-Range Microwave with Advantium Technology - Stainless Steel

Wish I could tell you what I thought about the actual microwave, the first one had a bad control panel. I had someone doing other work already so I just picked it up. Because of this when I discovered that I had a defective unit, I learned I needed to to either pay again to have either them or my contractor to come out and get it down, then I would get to pay again to reinstall. I’ve installed microwaves in the past with just myself and my wife, that was quite a few years ago she’s 69 years old and I’m not far behind and currently being treated for cancer with chemotherapy. Dealing with their “customer service “ is a joke. So now I’m waiting and waiting and waiting. I’ve gotten a couple of emails saying, sorry we won’t be able to meet our delivery commitment. At this point I don’t even know when I will get the new one, sometime in October…I think. Then I will get to deal with reinstalling, I sure hope the next one isn’t defective too.

I hope this new Advantium lasts as long as my previous one that I had for 18 years. The size fits perfectly in my prior space. One feature I miss is that the digital clock only stays on while the unit is in use. Also, the metal filters on the bottom could be better quality. Other then that I love the Advantium.

We were assured by your representative that it would be able to be installed. We gave the dimensions and descriptions.We were assured that it would work. When the men came to install it, they just laughed and said it could not be done. We cannot use it until we find someone who can install it. Now it is still in the box in our living room.

Great product and very well made. Options are endless with what one can do with this appliance. I bought this to replace the same earlier device that lasted 17 years!!

This is our second GE Advantium. This one is for our vacation home. We love the features and capabilities. It looks great with the GE Profile Range.

Basically I replaced the standard over the range GE microwave with this unit. Yes it is expensive but does much more that a microwave only device. The buttons and choices all light up when you touch the oven which makes the choices easy to read day or night. Scrolling and pressing the knob on the front works well once you develop the new protocol and saving your personal preferred microwave food cooking labels is easy. One thing to note-- the microwave portion is only 900 watts so you will have to bump up your usual cooking times if you do microwave ONLY cooking with this. I have tested the other cooking functions but have not used them. Basically I use this as a very expensive over the range microwave, cook top light, and vent system. I like the extra cooking features to be available if I should need them. Best Buy delivery and installation was great and there were no problems encountered. It does fit in the traditional 30" microwave hood space that every new kitchen builder uses these days. You will NOT be able to use the old GE microwave wall mount bracket and you will have to use the GE Advantium bracket that comes with the unit.

Have been a fan of GE advantium microwave for years. Replaced my older model of 10 plus years while still operating but trying to be proactive. The replacement has some great improvments such as a lighted control panel. Very helpful for me. Additionally what was once a compaint (lound exhaust fan) has been nicely corrected to where the fan is much quieter. I love this GE appliance and use it daily.

I haven’t worked this to its potential yet, so this isn’t a comprehensive review. My wife totally hates that you can’t select an exact microwave time. It is set in 15 sec increments. It does a righteous grilled cheese sandwich. Crispy on the outside and gooey inside. I have done a couple of steaks and burgers in it. They were ok. There isn’t a medium rare or rare choice, so you have to watch closely. It is also extremely good at warming leftover pizza on the convection oven mode. I am still experimenting and playing and haven’t lost enthusiasm for it yet. My wife however says it was a waste of money.

Never delivered as installers sent it back as it was badly damaged. Still no microwave
