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.

Nice looking trim for my new microwave

Nice looking trim for my microwave. Although it is way overpriced for what it is...that is the nature of all of the microwave trims from all manufacturers. That is why I ranked the value low.
The installation wasn't the best either. There are templates that are provided which makes it quite easy, but my opening for my microwave was larger than the trim's anchor points for several of the anchors. Where the trim had two anchors (side by side) on the each side of the trim, I was only able to install one screw at each side location. The trim required 4 screws on the side, two in the top right corner and two in the bottom right corner. I could only do one screw in each corner. I figured it wouldn't make much of a difference if I didn't have all four as there shouldn't be any force on the trim that would pull it away from the cabinet.
Give Best Buy some credit, they price matched a big box store's online price so that helped quite a bit.

So far so good. Only thing i would complain about is the cost. To get the trim kit with the microwave is pricy, but they all are. So far i love the microwave (all 3 weeks of it)

The LG microwave oven and matching trim kit recommended by the Best Buy sales staff are both great. But the contracted vendor for installation was a disaster sending two young men who obviously did not know what they were doing who erroneously claimed that it was not the right trim kit, and then in the next visit correct wood in my kitchen counter. I love Best Buy but will never allow this contracted vendor in my house again.

Poor Instructions

Very poor instructions. New microwave is replacing a bigger one and didn't know needed to attach bracing to cabinet, so have to add wood strip within the measurement of the pieces. No easy to install, but once installed, it does look good.
Expect a lot more from LG!

I think this is a nice looking trim kit but I agree with the other reviews about getting the last trim piece on. It was a bear. And it is very pricey.

Relatively straightforward to install. Looks great, although prone to fingerprints. Not sure why the trim has to be even more expensive than the microwave itself, but there wasn't really any other option. I am not a carpenter and consider myself a relatively novice DYI person. This was a replacement microwave for a broken built-in and I was very lucky that the cutout happened to fit perfectly.

Trim kit is a bit of a pain to install. The cut outs work well but the instructions are lacking. The trim pieces have to have something to mount to and the instructions just show screws gowing to nothing.

We purchased this Kit as we replaced our old white microwave installed in the cabinet. The opening in the cabinet had to be increased to accommodate the kit and microwave that we had purchased. My husband was able to do this with a router and extra long bit. We like the look and with the LG microwave, it is a very sleek appearance.

The trim kit cost more than the microwave! Fits the oven well and quality was good. Had to make a few modifications to fit our cabinet. Tech Support from LG was very good. Builder ordered and installed wrong cabinet. Fairly complicated to install. Had the cabinet installer install the trim package and with a few suggestions from me and my assistance we finally got it installed.

Buy a different microwave with a better trim kit.

The included directions are worthless. The installation is time consuming. After dry fitting the pieces, it appears thatt he kit is designed so that the base sits flush with the front of the cabinet. If the front of the cabinet is higher than the shelf, you will need to either cut the front down to shelf level or build up the bottom to raise the bottom level with the cabinet opening. We opted to build up the rear of the base with two 2x4s and an excess piece of toe kick to get the base level with the front of the cabinet. By building up, we maintained the cabinet reveal around the trim that we would have lost if cutting down. LG needs a better and cheaper solution since the trim kit costs more than the microwave.
