You miss my point. All microwaves have variable power but they achieve
it by turning the power on and off. Thus, 50% power is 5 seconds on (at
100% power) then 5 seconds off, repeated. I was wondering if there is a
unit that achieves variable power by reducing the microwave output and
having it on continuously - 50% would be 50% power on all the time.
