I don't understand either. I think every microwave oven i've seen has settings like "high, low" or "600W, 750W".. Like: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0076ZQ

  If you pay careful attention to a typical microwave, you can easily tell when the magnetron is on and when it's off. E.g. when on the light will dim slightly, and if you're heating some food it might visibly bubble. Set a typical microwave oven to 90% and you will see the magnetron 100% on for perhaps 15 seconds and 0% on for 2 seconds. The Panasonic claims to operate differently. It actually adjusts the power to the magnetron. So the magnetron itself is continuously operating at 90% power. A quick google turned up this article, which pretty much says the same thing. http://www.techlicious.com/review/microwave-ovens-with-inverter-technology-really-cook/ http://www.techlicious.com/review/microwave-ovens-with-inver... If you want to investigate further, the key is to include the keyword "inverter", which is how Panasonic advertises it.
