Comment on Which one are you?

It was made in 2024 and cost $120.

It’s so absurd that Panasonic still has exclusive rights to that. It was never a novel idea and they’ve been profiteering and holding back humanity for nearly a full human lifetime at this point.

Did they license it to others? Mine isn’t Panasonic.
Surprisingly, I looked up inverter microwave reviews on RTINGS and they said it’s mostly marketing fluff aside from a few edge cases, such as trying to soften a tablespoon of butter.

They do license it out. Interesting take from rtings, it’s the first time I’ve ever heard of them getting something wrong compared to my opinion/experience.

Yeah, gotta agree there. It does seem like the inverter works better but maybe it’s just because I’m now using the power settings much more often.
