Advantium 120 - 3 years average life span
3 of 3 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Convection / microwave - wonderful combo
Cons: Bad workmanship - zero support - known defects
I want a quality product that has this features! The features are wonderful.
But, every web page with ratings show that it is an unsupported, mis-documented, Korean manufactured GE (Sears) pile of junk that will be filling your landfill in one to 4 years.
I am searching for a Thermister (like many others) that the GE Authorized repair shop does not carry. A $0.22 part (that one GE repair center on the web wanted $203.00 to fix) after just 2 years. Many complaints that those with 3 year warranties never ever had it working 6 months in a row - then the repair contract leaves them with an unworking unit.
Site after site, review after review shows overwhelming evidence that GE and SEARS know this is junk... real junk; but do nothing about it.
I want the features! When mine worked for 3 years and 1 month - it was wonderful.
The documentation inside it is not even correct. Looking at the solder connections in side the heated oven - it appears that they used Lead. From some reviewer's comments, I am gussing that the Lead solder joints right up against the oven (it is a full convection oven) are causing problems if they don't use an external vent. The handle interlock is the other bad documented issue - this can leak microwave into the user's face.
Nothing good to say... except for the features. ...

Read all the reviews:
It is horrible workmanship
no support - from web sites - no support at all!
6 month to 3 year life span then it goes to the land fill.
Mine even had the wrong documentation inside of it. GE (Sears) offical part center could not identify or help with a defective thermister that I brought in with the schematic.
Also:
It appears that the lead solder joints are too close to the heated convection oven. Many reviewers have failures due to the circuit board.
Also:
The reviewers constantlly talk about the defective door latch interlocks. Can you imagine opening a microwave that is still running? Or the door not closing correctly?
Run Away from this product! ...
