It’s not a standard wall oven. It’s more than a microwave. The latest
microwave/wall oven combo is now available with GE’s most advanced
cooking technology—the Advantium® speedcooking oven—the ultimate kitchen
multitasker. It’s like having four ovens in one: Speedcook, true
European convection, microwave and warming/proofing. Upgrading the
microwave portion of the combo to the Advantium wall oven, GE is giving
these appliance owners a plethora of cooking choices.

According to the American Institute of Architects, more activities are
taking place in kitchens. While kitchens haven’t significantly increased
in size, they are including more technology. On top of the increasing
use of technology, more people are remodeling their kitchens. 1 GE’s
new Advantium/wall oven footprint and connections match those kitchens
that already have the built-in microwave/wall oven set and could prove a
space-saver for other consumers looking to remodel the kitchen without
adding additional floor space.
“By purchasing an appliance that already fits the cut-out of current
kitchen cabinets, homeowners don’t have to totally reconfigure the
kitchen layout which will save them money on the cost of a remodel,”
said Paul Bristow, product manager for Built-in Cooking at GE
Appliances. “With the built-in Advantium/wall oven combo, consumers can
get all the latest features GE has to offer and a product that doesn’t
cause installation stress.”
The Advantium component of the wall oven combo features technology that
harnesses the power of light, cooking the outside of the food like a
conventional oven with radiant heat produced by halogen bulbs above and
below the food. This halogen-produced heat receives a boost of microwave
energy. The result is it browns food and cooks evenly and quickly—two to
eight times faster than a conventional oven—while retaining food’s
natural moisture.
Other combination wall oven configurations
“The unique design looks like double wall ovens, but in fact we’ve given
consumers multiple options for the upper portion of the appliance
—Advantium or microwave,” said Bristow. To dovetail its wall oven launch
last year, GE is also offering the combination unit in other variations,
including:
-
27” and 30” microwave/thermal-oven combo in GE’s brand with an MSRP of
$2,999.
-
Convection microwave/convection-oven combo in 30” Profile™ with an
MSRP of $3,499.
Only the Profile and Café™ models feature the option of an
Advantium/convection-oven combo with an MSRP of $3,999.
