Thank you for your review. Here is some additional information, an inverter microwave uses a high frequency switching transformer that weights only a fraction of the boat anchor transformer of traditional microwave making the oven about 2 kilo (4 pounds) lighter. Since the magnetron (the tube that generates the microwave energy) in a microwave is a vacuum tube it needs a heating element to function and the power for the heating element is supplied by the transformer in both type of microwaves. Using the inverter microwave under about 500 Watts there is inefficient power to supply power to the heating element and it then operates the as a conventional microwave by switching on/off the the power to obtain lower cooking power.
Been using an inverter microwave for years, even switched my mom's out for one! Directions for microwave cooking on food is pretty accurate for an inverter as well(typically directions are for 1100W). You can just take the microwave's wattage(usually 1200) and divide by 10 to get the closest power level to use. Usually 9 for most stuff. Also you can hear when the transformer turns on and off with old microwaves since it only has one power level, there's a distinct noise change if you listen.
I could be wrong, but how I understood it was that conventional microwaves are like pulsing light switches on and off to achieve lower power. cycling full power in on/off duty cycles. Inverter Microwaves actually lowering the microwave power, like a dimmer light switch.

Note that microwaves can interfere with the 2.4ghz band. 5ghz is generally unaffected

great explanation sir, thank you! i would take the inverter one
Thank you for the updated exploitation!
I've been influenced
nice video, thanks
The hamburger from the inverter microwave probably tastes better too.
seriously? the inverter obviously cooked the edges
