They should have a wave stirrer to break up any standing waves.
Perhaps the bit that was supposed to move had failed in your unit.

My microwave/combi oven doesn't have a turntable and works very well.

More interestingly it has a clever log spaced wire metal shelf that it
will still work quite happily with inside the oven. I suspect it can
either recognise the loading and adjust power levels accordingly to
compensate. I almost never run it at maximum power.

It can also do combinations of grilling or hot air with microwave too.

Oven chips by weight program mode does some very odd combination.
