After weeks of thinking about it way too much, we finally bought a microwave. Did you know Panasonic and LG are the only big brands that make their own? Everyone else outsources to one big company that mostly uses the same innards.

Also if you are one of the 0.001% of folks (like me) who adjust the cook power, inverter tech is actually value added. Yay!

@User47 Also, I PROGRAM my microwave. For example, oatmeal is 2:30 on high followed by 5:00 at 40%.

@mlanger @User47 Everything in a microwave is cooked on full power in increments of 30 seconds using the +30 seconds button. The rest of the buttons are useless

@chrisod @mlanger I understand this. I was there. There is redemption for these sins in the inverter and power buttons.

@User47 @chrisod Your microwave has an inverter button? I'm pretty sure my inverter feature was automatic. If I put it on any power other than 100, it would feed lower power into the microwave instead of cycling it between high power and off. I've come to realize that that really isn't necessary.

@mlanger @chrisod oh, the inverter doesn’t really do much if you only nuke on full blast. The lower power settings in pre inverter were a combo of (or only) intermittent power instead of lower power

@User47 @chrisod Now I'm trying to figure out what I said that led you to believe I didn't know that.🤔

I'm pretty sure my current microwave does not have an inverter because I can clearly hear it cycling on and off at power settings other than 100%.
