I installed the GE Advantium in my motorhome and it was a huge improvement over the Whirlpool that Newmar installed. It's time for a new Microwave for my S&B which has a GE Profile. In my research it looks like I'm going with a KitchenAid unit which is half the cost of the GE Advantium with all the same features, newer, and possibly better. Here is what I'm going with which I'm waiting on Lowes to restock as I get 10% off as a veteran. Other stores including Costco, Home Depot, Best Buy all have stock. If you're looking for something to upgrade your RV/motorhome, this may be the choice in 2021.

 
One thing I remember as I drove to lunch...the Advantium's presets are nice. Speedcook, etc. Hmm...
 
Had to replace mine too. (upgraded Also) That rolling earthquake and all must have damaged it. Fixed it once. Next earthquake broke it again.

For the house, you could get the 240v, expensive, but really fast. The two brands you are considering, are really quite different technologies, and perform differently. The Advantium is also a speed oven, and thusly more money. ? Judy

You must be a wizard. I can’t figure out how that thing is held up in there.

Neal looks like KitchenAid is 1000 Watt against the GE Adventium 1800 W (I believe?)

Mine has the same mount as what is found in a house. Instead of the bolts coming through the top, I had to remove a wood facia on top to expose 4 wood screws and pop it out like any other. The bracket screws onto the top of the microwave. Not sure where you would find a bracket like that though.

On our 2017 DS the crazy Newmar installers put screws right through the front of the microwave into the cabinets above. Terrible way to install and really not hard to do it correctly.
