29.7" Trim Kit for LG Microwaves - Black Stainless Steel

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.

This trim kit feels like a complete afterthought. It is a more complex installation than other trim kits I have installed. Being a one piece kit makes it very challenging to get the final finished trim piece installed. The last two steps in the process took the vast majority of the time. The directions could also be clearer, and although they include a template it’s not clearly explained how it is positioned in the cabinet floor. I also really don’t understand why they don’t pre-cut the template. You have to trim the entire perimeter of the paper template which feels confusing because you wonder if you should be cutting certain sections. All of that time and guess work would be gone if they would just send it pre-cut. It’s nonsense. All of this said, it is the only black stainless trim kit available for the 2.2 cf microwave so I have no other option than to recommend this kit. The only alternative would be having a custom trim kit made. There are companies that do that. It is however expensive. I love LG. I have their entire line of appliances in my kitchen, so this is not a condemnation of LG. I would say two things to LG (if they look at market reviews): 1. The trim kit should NEVER cost more than the microwave itself. It ticks customers off. Take one moment to think about “Voice of Customer” principles. 2. If you insist on charging this much for a trim kit, it better darn well feel like the same quality that comes when you open LG Appliance boxes. This trim kit does not. **BTW, not print proof. That’s just silly. Keep a microfiber cloth close.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
