In our household we have two Panasonic inverter microwave ovens. Not a peep of
unwanted RFI from either of them, both of them 1350 Watts.

That's the reply I was looking for. I think it's the same oven
I'm looking at at Walmart. Many thanks Chas!
Thanks for all the other replies too, especially the one that
suggested I don't need an oven because I live in Yuma!
73, and happy holidays!

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
