Purchased this Advantium because the motor went out on my other Advantium - 9 years old.  I use it for everything - microwave, baking, toasting sandwiches, cooking thick sliced bacon PERFECTLY.  AI have the same oven in my second home also.  I plan to move within the year, but couldn't make myself purchase any other microwave.  Guess I'm a spoiled but happy Advantium owner for life!
