It's great when it works!!

Love my Advantium oven, that is, when it works. It is now 7 months old and the serviceman will be here tomorrow for the 8th time to replace the internal bulb. He tells me that the halogen bulb is not made to withstand the 450 degree heat that the oven puts out. The most agravating part of this problem is...he tells me there is no way to rectify the problem, "you just have to keep replacing the bulb" and his suggestion for when my warranty is up "take out the extended warranty plan" at over $100 per year, for an oven that I paid $860. The repairman never has the bulb with him when he comes, even though I tell them it is the exact same problem and I tell them the part that I need, when I schedule service. So each repair requires 2 service call, 1st he say "yep it's the bulb, I'll order the bulb, it will be shipped to your house, when you get it call to schedule another service call and I will install it". That doesn't work very well if you need to take all these days off to let the serviceman in.
