While researching a new set of appliances for our kitchen, we looked at regular over-the-range microwaves. But, having had an Advantium for almost 15 years, we just couldn't imagine not having this convenient appliance. Even though we were finally getting a convection oven, we knew the advantages that Advantium has even over convection. The fact that you can use the Advantium in so many ways (microwave, convection, Advantium cooking), makes it such a versatile appliance. It might cost quite a bit more than a microwave, but it can do the work of an oven, and more. You can completely cook pieces of bone-in chicken in about 20 minutes (as quick as an Instant Pot, but with crispy skin), without the toughness that results from microwaved chicken.
I don't know if we will ever have a kitchen without an Advantium again. We use the Advantium feature so much, that we have family favorite recipes that we do not even know how to make without the Advantium.
