Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is an attractive trim kit made for the LG microwave we purchased. It was this one or a custom made unit at an even higher price. To install it required us to make wooden spacers to fill the sides of the cabinet space as the kit mounting base was not wide enough to reach the sides of the cabinet. At first you wonder what holds the microwave firmly in place but once you complete the installation the unit is locked in. If you are not handy this could be a little challenging for you. Instructions are decent and when it is properly installed you'll be satisfied. The components are nicely made but the price seems high. The kit is much more than the microwave. That is confusing. One wonders how this is justified?

Trim looked nice. Fit well and easy install. Was a little pricey compared to other microwave trims.

Looks good but required some extra steps during install. Frame pieces from the trim aren't wide enough requiring me to screw in some extra wood for my opening. Wasn't super hard, but did add an hour or so of extra work. Overall happy. Rest of the install was pretty simple. Looks good.

The drop of a star is related to price of the item set by the manufacturer. It’s odd that the frame costs more than the microwave itself. As for the frame itself, we had a contractor install it due to size of the opening, some shims needed to be added to center the microwave. It all looks nice after the install.

A little difficult to install, even with the paper templates. However it's the only option to pair with the LG NeoChef 2.0 Cu. Ft. microwave. Once installed, does look nice. Does seem expensive as it was more than the microwave itself...but again, it's the only option.

Decent trim piece but my cabinets were not a standard size so the included brackets would not work. I ended up having to fab some brackets to hold the provided brackets. It worked but not an optimal solution.

This trim kit looks really sharp and the installation was straight forward. The only downside is the trim kit was as much as the microwave, but that’s pretty typical with trim kits.

When it is all said and done, it looks great. In the process you have to struggle with the instructions and what they are referring to. I find the installation engineerimg is a bit excessive and not necessary. You do have to figure it out yourself where to shim the supports to fit your opening. I wish they hired IKEA’s engineers and designers. Good luck, if you can put it together which is possible and the price is right compared to other brands.

Although I still can’t get over how much they charge for this simple frame, it does look nice and completes the look. Honestly, though, it is ridiculously priced. Also, it definitely holds fingerprints and needs frequent wiping down.

We purchased a LG Microwave to replace a old convection microwave. I does not have all the features the old one had but is sufficient for basic needs. The sensor option is nice but doesn't seem to heat long enough. I usually add some time. The unit looks nice and we ordered a trim kit to make a built in look. The trim kit came with one wrong part and couldn't replace just that part without returning all of it. So we opted to make it work. Not sure if I love the quality of the microwave but so far it is sufficient for our needs.

instructions weren’t very helpful. Had a hard time figuring to hide them out after mounted looks OK.

Great, nice-looking product, which was easy to install!

Although it was more expensive than the actual microwave, I had no issues with the installation and feel it was worth it. It looks great and the microwave is secure, even if an earthquake were to occur.

Perfect fix ! Easy to install.It took me about one hour to do it, only one thing I needed my wife to help me bring the microwave up to the cabinet than after that I finished installation the trim kit on microwave to cabinet. Look great! I love it!

Ok. So, we bought a big beautiful house. They had a small, aging Whirlpool microwave installed with a trim kit. We had just bought this big LG microwave, so my wife more or less insisted that we get this trim. I instantly regretted it. I mean, you can kinda tell from the photos that this thing is very shoddy. In fact, the whole thing (including the tray!) is just sheet metal with sharp edges. The instructions are terrible, and you have to cut out your own templates to install it. I measured everything very, very precisely, but this thing scratched up the microwave and my beautiful cabinets terribly when it came to "pop" it into place.The kit includes two oversized screws for each corner and the holes are dead in the corner, so even after drilling pilot holes they split the cabinet at the edges. Like I said it's just sheet metal, so none of it is straight or stays straight. Even after coaxing it as perfectly as possible, using shims, and attaching the fascade to the junky little tray, it's neveraligned. One of the four corners won't seat and it flush at the bottom of the microwave but not the top. So, after hours of painstaking work, you're left with trim that looks bad, scratches up everything, isn't straight, and drags on the door--causing damage every time you use it. It seems painfully obvious that this product is an aftermarket afterthought. Whirlpool's OEM kit, in contrast, features a very sturdy and straight tray, well-designed trim with boxed edges to avoid damage and add stregth, and an infinitely preferable appearance...plus it doesn't destroy your expensive microwave and cabinets. To top it all off, the trim costs almost as much as a microwave--though it would be pretty worthless at any price. Do youself a favor and avoid this overpriced gargage like the plague!

I had hoped that my old GE trim kit would work with the new LG microwave (we purchased from Best Buy!) , but it did not. Ordered the trim kit and was delivered quickly. Went right into the old cutout and worked like a charm. Perfect match for the microwave and looks great. My only issue I have is that these things are a little expensive. It is what it is.

Perfect fit but seriously pricey. Get ready for fingerprints - they WILL be there. (Too bad a kit didn’t come with the microwave.). When you purchase 4 thin pieces of metal and pay as much as you did for the microwave it’s kind of a necessary evil.

The Trim Kit fit perfectly around my LG microwave. It’s sleek, adds a nice modern look to our kitchen, and its shade of stainless steel matches all of our other appliances from other brands. The only downside to this trim kit in my own experience is the slight opening at the top. I’m sure this kit is intended to border microwaves that sit above the stove, or even above an oven, but ours sits under the countertop, and blends into the cabinet. Because of this, bits and pieces of food get trapped in between the trim kit when we clean off the countertops. Definitely be aware of where you place your kit, and how that partial opening at the top should be factored into your cleaning routine. Otherwise, it's beautiful, albeit expensive.

Looks good. Had it professionally installed. Challenging to get everything flush but installers were successful in doing so. Relatively expensive.

This trim kit was purchased with a LG microwave to replace a built-in Kitchen Aid microwave that failed. I was able to make it work but the space between it and the oven (below) is substantially less than with the Kitchen Aid. The reason: the old microwave was vented on the bottom, raising the microwave, while this one vents on the top. A bit of carpentry work was required to modify the cabinet to make it work. It would have been helpful if the online installation instructions were more complete with all dimensions shown. The price was outrageous - much more that the microwave for a few pieces of stamped metal.
