Answered my own question: it’s exactly what I wanted. https://www.panasonic.com/nz/consumer/household-learn/techno...
For one, the “sensor cook” actually works. Like crazy well in my Panasonic.
And two… if you use the power settings as they are supposed to be used it is a game changer. Like the difference in completely cool outside with a frozen center, to actually defrosted and barely warm outside.
Those pictures of differences of cooked food are worth a look. Maybe one day I’ll get to do an actual AB test.
I A/B all the time, it’s not even close. I hate our house microwave but stupid GE (not actually GE) won’t make a slate colored inverter microwave!
First they're way more powerful than most window acs, quieter too, both are made possible because they moved the compressor and hot side outside. They also have the window open way less due to the u shape, making the whole thing leak less heat. All in all it's really genius. Also the price point is remarkable.
