| Interesting. My elderly microwave achieves variable power control by pulsing – full power for a certain percentage of the time, then off. Some Panasonic models have true variable power control. Does this Amana have true variable power control?

That has been the standard forever. Defrost was just off 70% of the time, on for 30%. Inverter's actually reduce the output of the magnatron. More expensive to produce, never really got a strong foothold.

| Whirlpool or Panasonic are the only 2 i'd buy. The GE's and others are pure junk. |

Pretty much all the domestic countertops are considered unrepairable ie:they have no servicable parts. Most of the commercial models are set up for food service and don't work well in your application. I would probably go with this Panasonic model. It's not huge but will do pop corn and warm up lunches till the cows come home.
