It looks nice when installed, but it was a pain to install. I replaced a 20 year old GE Profile microwave and trim with this, the old one screwed right to the wood frame directly, and was solid metal. This one is plastic and the way it mounts to the frame is really a pain and makes aligning the front of the trim with the front of the oven a major effort. The bottom of the trim screws to brackets that are attached to the pan that is attached to the inside hole in the cabinet. The top screws into another bracket that is attached to the top of the cabinet. There are too many parts that need to get aligned to make the trim flush with the oven. Most of my installation time was spent installing, removing, adjusting, installing, removing, adjusting, etc. the trim piece. The old model was much easier. Also, I don't like the business model of selling the oven for a price that looks like a good value, then selling me all the hardware to install it separately for another $200. Mildly deceptive and no way around it.

The trim kit looks good once it was finally installed. Was a tad dis-appointed it was plastic but only due to old being metal. It did require cutting out the sides a tad more from the previous smaller GE micro-wave and its metal trim kit it was replacing. Just "plunged" using circular saw. The reason I took off 1 star was due to trim kit having to be attached to micro-wave (old one was not). Took another star off due to the tiny tiny screws supplied to use to attach the kit to the micro-wave. The screws kept dropping thru the open sides of the "deep well" and they arent magnetic. After having to take the trim kit on/off several times and wasting at least 1/2 hour due to "losing" a screw I finally went to my garage and looked through my many years of cumulative screws and found a couple that were twice as long as provided and was done in minutes. I do recommend (there really arent any other trim options) but do yourself a favor and get longer screws.

Easy install, but wish that the front was made of glass or enameled steel. The plastic seems like it would be prone to cracking or scratching over time.

It works, quality could have been better. It's made of hard plastic and I thought it should have cost less, kind of pricey for plastic.

Perfect fit, matches microwave exactly. Nice clean look, East install, good instructions. A bit pricey, 60% of the price of the microwave.

Had to purchase a new microwave after the original one lasted nearly 16 years. The bases on the microwaves change and needed this one to install the new unit. The exterior trim looks nicer than my old one but I saved it because the original one was still like new. Easy to install and highly recommended. I just wish that I could have saved a little money by only purchasing the base without the trim piece. These kits are expensive...nearly as much as the microwave unit itself! LOL

Trim panel was very nice in appearance considering what others have said. I am very pleased with the product. Yes, it could have been better if it were made of metal but would have cost more. Instructions were very good and fit and finish was great.

Expensive but well made and easy to install to help replace an older broken GE Profile micro & trim kit

I was shopping for a built-in microwave. I found the one I like and within my price range. Got help from Best Buy staff to look for a compatible trim kit for GE - Profile 2.2 Cu. Ft. Microwave. The kit arrived in the mail in good condition. I was able to install without issues. Perfect fit. I can't ask for anything more.

Installation instructions a bit confusing but doable. Had to raise the floor in the cabinet 2 inches and add a 1.5 inch bottom trim strip due to the size of the new microwave. Final outcome - the kit looks great!!

The GE profile oven sits on a rack within the cabinet with an alignment frame at the top. The installation rack for this GE oven is not the same as the one for the older model. It was not clear to me that it was included with the new front black frame that matches the new oven but it was included. Once you see the old set up, the new one is the same concept except the holes don't line up to the old ones so you have to drill. Final appearance is sleek and beautiful.

Trim kit was fairly easy to install and looks very good

The trim piece looks very nice. The installers had to create a larger opening for it to fit which cost extra. Overall am happy about it.

I purchased this kit because of a custom design fitting from the previous unit. Product works and look great.

Fit our microwave and the cutout in the cabinet. Easy to list all and look wonderful

The trim kit bought for the built-in microwave is solid black and about a good 2.5 inches wide all around. It's a little overbearing for the microwave. It still looks good, but I think it would look better if it wasn't quite so wide and perhaps if the lines (it's a rectangle) were a little softer looking.

If you want a clean in cabinet install, this is a must. It's a total ripoff at 1/2 the price of the actual microwave for some sheet metal and plastic.

Product fit my old microwave cabinet. A bit tricky to install, but following details od installation will result in a complete replacement.

Providing you take your time and have the right tools, it is easy to install. I had to retro fit the existing hole in the built in cabinets to get the new microwave and trim kit to fit.
