Nope, pretty much all have a duty cycle. Like 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off, and they keep repeating that or similar for however long the cook time is. If you listen closely you can hear the magnetron kick on and off.
I believe Panasonic was the only company that sold an inverter microwave that lowered the power output.
Oh that’s cool. I’ve never seen one where you can set the wattage. Mine does duty time as well for power level which is also how my electric range heating elements work.

Okay, but I can’t set any percentage. I can set watts and a time.

Every microwave I’ve ever seen was like this.
Is this some EU vs US thing?
