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
