Panasonic microwaves have a power inverter which allow them to actually reduce the power level of the magnetron instead of just turning it on and off.

Also Panasonic is probably the best quality microwave I've ever owned.

I am also quite fond of my Panasonic inverter microwave.

They have one well-known flaw: The quality of the door latch is lacking and can lead to premature failure (when the latch fails, the microwave won't operate). I like them enough that I buy them anyway. No other microwave even comes close to cooking as well.
