Doesn't the GE Advantium work in all three modes as well?

I did consider the Advantium initially. But was told by appliance salespeople that the Advantium still cooks with the halogen light even when used without the microwave. The KitchenAid speed oven also uses some kind of light I believe. So I don't consider that to be a "regular" oven.

Now, beeing honest, there is no specific information that I am aware of that would make it to be "bad for you" to cook with the lights. But I don't feel completely comfortable with it just yet for some reason.

The Sharp m/w convection can be used as m/w, mix, or regular convection. I used to have one in a previous house and used it as my main oven in the summer because we didn't have air conditioning in the kitchen. It would be much less expensive than the Miele.

Don't know about the others, but I love my Miele Speed Oven. I've had it for 6 months now and use it as a microwave (rarely) and on convection broil (more often). Works great and I've had no issues cleaning it. It's small, but I can get a large enough dish in for my purpose.

Histokitch, thank you very much for that information, I will definitely check the Sharp oven.

madcow, I'd love to hear more about the Miele. Have you used other oven functions or just the convection broil?
Is it easy to switch between the MW and oven and Speedcook?
Also, what do you use to clean it?

thanks

I have used the bake function, but tend to stick mostly to baking in my AGA. The only thing I really need is the broil and occasionally the mw. No issues with switching. It's pretty intuitive. I haven't read the manual yet and haven't had any issues.

I just clean it by heating a pan of water in it to steam off all the burnt on stuff and then giving it a quick wipe. Works well for me.

Bumping up my question with hope to hear from more users of the Miele Speed Oven
