GE Monogram appliances

18 years ago

I am looking at the GE Monogram wall oven, advantium oven and dishwasher. If anyone has them and can give me their opinion, I would appreciate it. Thanks

    I have almost all Monogram appliances, including the Advantium 240, 36 inch DF range, DW, compactor and wine chiller.
    Advantium: I love the Advantium. I use it every day. It makes great crisp food in short time. Roaster chickens turn out especially great and in less than 25 minutes. The microwave is super fast and the sensor reheat program heats the food to the perfect temperature. There are a lot of discussions on this appliance so be sure to check the search box for this.

    I have the higher end panel ready DW also (I forget the model but it was $1400). It is not too different from prior high end DWs which I have owned. I paid extra for a soundproofing package which I can't get to install properly so I wouldn't waste money on that. It is remarkably quiet even without anything over the toekick area but my cabinet toekick material.

    Greeny, we have all monogram appliances except fridge. The only thing we have installed was the double wall oven because we built it into the wall. We are waiting for our cabs so we can finish. The other appliances are a beverage. fridge, electric cooktop, hood and dw. They all look great and if they work as good as the ovens we will be very happy. Can not say enough about the full extension roller racks.

    I have the advantium 120 and the single wall oven. If you look on the appliance forums, there's always lots of threads regarding these two appliances. Even though I haven't used all of the features of the advantium - I'm very happy. I researched this site on both of these purchases, and I think it's the one set of appliances that had the most rave reviews.

    I have a bosch dishwasher - my first - which is WONDERFUL! Don't know who makes the dishwasher for monogram - but if it's bosch, I'd say go for it!

    We chose (not yet installed)

    Monogram oven, SxS fridge (free standing), induction cooktop and beverage fridge.

    I expect to be happy with all of them based on reviews and opinions posted here.

    For DW we went with Bosch because the seem to be the best, on par with Miele. I didn't look at Miele because there were too many models to try and compare and the Bosch to get raves from most users anyway.

    Micro we went with the drawer unit from Sharp.

    We have a Monogram BI 36" bottom-freezer, an Advantium 240 and a WD. So far all have been great, but we've only been back in the house for 8 weeks.

    I will say that the Advantium 240 is very cool.

    Thanks everyone for the info. I'm new to the site and didn't realize there was a forum for appliances. I will check there also.

    I have all GE Monogram except for hood. I've been living in the house for five nights now. Dishwasher is great, quiet too. I have the 36" SxS cabinet depth fridge. I was worried it going to be too small, but so far it's fine. I have the 120 Advantium. Micro is great. Very easy to use. Need to figure out the convection part. Tried to do a frozen dish in it last night, thinking it would be quicker than the wall oven, but I did something wrong, because it was still cold once I thought it was finished and took longer than if I had just stuck it in the oven to began with. LOL! Used the oven for the first time tonight. LOVE the full extension roller racks. I haven't used my gas cooktop yet, but it looks nice. LOL! Oh, I haven't used the warming drawer yet either.

    Monogram oven and Advantium 120 here. Just installed and I am away, so haven't used either one much yet. Microwave is fine - I, too, love the sensor. I baked cookies in the convection or the speedcook (do you think I even remember?) and they were fine - albeit, never got brown. I will experiment more when I get home from my biz trip...but so far, no regrets. And those roll-out racks in the oven are great!

    we have all Monogram appliances: 48" range with a griddle, 120 Advantium, 48" hood, 42" SxS fridge, and a "regular" DW (no light inside).

    Had them between 18 and 12 month. Love them all, no complaints.

    I haven't used the griddle and only used Advantium as a microwave, but DH wanted the speed-cook feature and he doesn't cook :) I would've loved to use the griddle but I started Weight Watchers as soonas the kitchen was done and unfortunately, all griddle dishes that I can think of are really not WW-friendly!

    GL!

    Do any of you with an Advantium feel that you need another separate microwave? Or feel that you need two extra regular ovens? I would like to have Advantium replace MW and one of our double ovens.

    Starfish24,
    I have had my Advantium for about 3 weeks and love it, but do feel I might need a small microwave, too. Actually I think I could use 2 Advantiums! It certainly is versatile, but I find I have it tied up doing a major job when I need a quick melt or defrost, etc and a little microwave would come in handy. I also got a GE Profile convection oven, and am really impressed with it also. Baked chicken and fish are very moist.
