Half Time Microwave / Convection Oven - Stainless Steel

I have used a half time oven for about 3 years and consider it the most indispensible appliance in my kitchen. It's a shame it hasn't been marketed more effectively because there should be one in every kitchen. I use mine with virtually every meal I prepare. It's especially nice for rewarming and cooking meats, baking biscuits, rolls, or pizza or cooking a casserole in record time. The only thing I don't use it for is baking cookies since the cookie sheets won't fit. My only concern is that it will one day stop working and I won't be able to get a replacement.

I bought an Apollo Half time oven(stainless) for my wife for Christmas 2008. Within 2 weeks it started tripping the circuit breaker(same one as we used on a larger M/Wave for years. Called Apollo on the moisture buildup inside. Was told normal. Called back after 3rd time circuit breaker tripped. No one was available. Called 2)two more times, same thing, no one to answer phones during regular business hours. Emailed 2 times, no response.
As my heading suggests, stat away. I personally think they've gone out of business.

We ordered a new 5th Wheel from Newmar. Received it in July of '06. Door latch on Apollo Half Time Oven failed before we left the dealership. Dealer simply replaced the oven. We have since had the oven worked on once (by Sears-under warranty) when the microwave function quit. Then we had the oven replaced when the heating element decided to turn on and stay on after using the m/w. Note: the fan was NOT on, just the heating element. The smell and heat being generated quickly got our attention. I shudder to think what would have happened had we left the unit before discovering the problem. The only solution to this problem is to either, (a) leave the door open, or (b) unplug the unit. As soon as I closed the door or plugged the unit in, the heating element would heat-up. No button pushing would solve this. As noted, Apollo replaced the unit -- making it the third unit in less than three years. The third unit has worked fine for about a year -- but, guess what? It is now...Read more
