LG 30" Built-In Trim Kit

Our current microwave stopped working so we bought the lg one for which this is the trim for 30 inches wide to match with the width of the traditional oven .. it looks good and mathes the theme of the rest of the appliances.

Bought the LG trim kit (and microwave) a month ago. Was nervous because we dont own any LG appliances. Happy to report that not only have we not had any problems but it was very easy to install the trim. Looks good and wife is happy. Very happy. Win win!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought an LG microwave with that trim kit because the Trim kit had good ratings and had a great look. It was easy to install and looks great. I would recommend that product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best trim kit on the market. It's real stainless steel. This is unheard of in the other big brands. Exceptionally easy to install. Its also less then expensive than the plastic junk the other major brands sell.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was worried based on reviews on other websites saying it is plastic. Lowe's had a hard time getting this one due to back order, and I am glad i waited. It is a real metal. Matches my LG Studio oven stainless steel. Install was easy, just follow direction. The installer really likes it. The only down side is that it will pick up fingerprints like crazy. The photo shows that.

Haven't installed it yet. I'm reviewing this now for the sweepstakes entry. I'm sure the trim kit will be fine when we finally get our cabinets in place, but the price! Almost half again what the actual microwave oven cost. Amazing they would charge so much for a simple piece of metal.

I chatted online with an LG Rep to ensure that I was buying the correct kit for the microwave we'd just purchased. I gave them the dimensions of our new custom microwave cabinet. The upper and lower bracket fit just inside of the width of the opening and aren't big enough to attach to the cabinet. I'm in the process of trying to build a block from behind and inside the cabinet walls so the bracket can attach to that but it's becoming a bigger project than I am skilled at. When I mock it up with the trim panel, it looks great, just not sure I'll be able to get it installed and secured properly. May have to return. Anyone else come accross this issue? Any suggestions.

No installation manual available for cabinetry planning purposes. Do better LG!

POOR QUALITY. BOUGHT ALL NEW APPLIANCES FOR MY NEW HOME. ALL LG APPLIANCES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 7 YEARS LATER!

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!
