We have been happy with our GE speed/micro, etc and it did replace a microwave.

I have the Miele Speed Oven (as well as Miele Combi Steam and wall oven). It definitely replaces a microwave. It is great as a regular oven with lots of oven modes. The only downside is it is limited to a max temperature (I think 435 - not home so I can’t check) but I have not found that an issue with my 30” wall oven also being available. I have had my ovens for 11 years and would not hesitate to purchase again.

A speed oven is simply an oven that combines a microwave and convection oven. You can buy a speed oven and install it above a conventional oven (if supported) or buy a double oven (aka combo oven) that includes both in one unit. Note that if you do the former that you will need two electrical circuits, one for each oven.

• Bosch 800 Series HBL8753UC (highest-rated combo oven by CR)
• LG WCEP6427F Combination Wall Oven
• Cafe CTC912P2NS1 Combination Wall Oven

Note that GE Appliances often sells the same appliance under more than one brand. For example, the GE Profile PSB9240SVSS ($2900) and Monogram ZSB9232VSS ($4400) are virtually the same appliance except for appearance.

Thanks for this confirmation on the speed oven’s capability. Appreciate the advice on appliances!

A Miele Combi Steam oven is often seem as the second oven choice. There's a long thread discussing it you may want to check.

The GE Advantium uses light, microwaves and convection air flow. Cooks faster than a microwave without the rubbery food. I've only done a few of these...but my clients rave about them.

The GE Advantium oven uses high-intensity halogen bulbs positioned above and below the cooking area to generate intense radiant heat. [1, 2]How Speedcook Technology Works

• Radiant Heat from Light: The halogen bulbs emit powerful light and radiant heat that immediately target the outside of the food, browning, broiling, and roasting it just like a conventional oven but without any required preheating. [1, 2, 3]
• Simultaneous Microwave Energy: While the exterior is cooked by the halogen light, a controlled boost of microwave energy penetrates beneath the surface. This cooks the inside of the food at the same time. [1, 2]
• Convection Airflow Support: Many Advantium models also add True European Convection, circulating heated air around the cavity to ensure even cooking temperatures. [1, 2]
• Sealed-in Moisture: Because the inside and outside cook simultaneously at a much faster speed, natural juices and flavors are locked in, leaving meats tender and baked goods crisp. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The GE Profile PSB9240SVSS is an Advantium oven.

We are renovating our kitchen, and I wanted to get both MW and Breville off the counter if possible. From searching online, it appears that I can achieve this goal with a GE Advantium oven and be very happy with the results. I do expect a bit of a learning curve. I will probably buy the Cafe combo with the lower oven. I do understand that the combo only comes in the 120v vs the 240v of a standalone Advantium, but I’m OK with the fact that my chicken will only cook 4 times as fast instead of 8 times as fast. 😊

"I will probably buy the Cafe combo..."

GE Profile PT9800SHSS ($3800) and Cafe CTC912P2NS1 ($4200) are the same except for appearance (which may be important to you).
