Mornin Dave; I purchased a Panasonic Microwave from Walmart which
advertised itself as having Inverter Technology. It is the 1250 watt
model, however, I forget the exact model number. The important issue for
me was RFI and I am pleased to report I hear nothing from it while
powered up and cooking or just in standby (not cooking but plugged into
a wall outlet). It is clean as a whistle. I pay attention to home
generated noise and probably have 60 or 70 pounds of ferrite around my
home. This required no additional "fixes". This was a very pleasant
surprise given the state of consumer electronics today.
Best, Chas W5PG
