    The fillers are exactly what we needed because our previous microwave was old and enormous- the kitchen cabinets were made to fit - Our salesman OG was excellent in providing us with them!

    Nice looking spacers fill the gaps but expensive.

    The filler kit looks very good when installed. If there is a downside, they are very expensive. Although necessary to fill the gaps around the microwave space, I struggle with the cost associated. It is almost the cost of another microwave.

    Essential part for install of the GE Microwave (MW). Had to wait ~ 1 yr. Sad - but surely some aspects supply chain related.

    It works ok but needs improvements. Like more mounting options, pre drilled holes, straps, shims, etc. Frankly, barely met my acceptable grade and certainly overpriced for a flimsy, at best, filler. BUT, it’s the only SS filler option for a unit mounting over a 36” cooktop and this is the only reason I gave it a Recommend option.

    I had a 36in microwave that came with the house many years ago. Unfortunately they don’t make 36inch microwaves again (or at least I couldn’t find one to buy). This trim kit works well on GE microwave and it is easy to self install.

    These are the most over priced items that Best Buy carries. These items were more expensive than the Microwave they were to be attached to. This product should be $25 each and they were over $200. They look Ok, when installed, but have like 1 Screw to hold them in. So they slide. I would not recommend this product. Look for a different option.

      Thank you for your feedback. We will share this with our teams. If you are replacing a 36" Over-the-Range Microwave, this part would be needed, since we no longer manufacture 36-inch microwaves. Many of our current 30" Over-the-Range microwaves offer an optional 36" filler kit to allow it to be installed in a 36" wide cabinet opening. Thank you! Joyce@GEAppliances GE_Appliances

    Aside from being overpriced, the product does not fit flush with GE microwaves as the picture shows. There are other products on internet at the tenth of the cost of this one, but this one is supposedly fits best. Not true! I am disappointed to say the least. I would not recommend this to anybody.

    This is a necessary evil. Had to buy so that the microwave fit in the space provided. But the price is ridiculous

    Replacing an over-the-cooktop microwave is tough since standard widths have reduced from 36" to 30". This trim kit looks good. Since it was installed by Best Buy and I didn't install it myself, I don't know if it's universal or only works with GE products, but with the GE unit it certainly looks good, you're really not aware that it's a fix for a problem that should never have existed in the first place.

    WAAAAAY Overpriced for two strips of sheet metal. Cost more than the actual microwave! But, I needed them so I was stuck.

    Do not fit and installers either installed incorrectly or they are the incorrect fillers for that microwaved. We will be visiting Gilroy store to try to get this issue solved. WE ARE NOT HAPPY.
