Some have carousels to turn the food in the waves
- others have microwave-reflective stirrers to move the waves going through
the food.
(I would think that because of the power density and the way it cooks,
those ovens in the 1500 watt-and-up range probably have both.)

---My old 1500 watt Amana just has a stirrer, under the upper cover, to move
the waves inside the cooking area. - (it is moved by the air pushed into the
cooking area by the fan.) Works just fine at cooking evenly.

---My daughter's microwave has a carousel that is to be removed for some
kinds of cooking.

FWIW, My guess would be that any middlin-to-upper microwave has both, and
they can be used without the carousel just fine for most foods.
