They don’t fit without cutting them I thought the reason that they were almost as expensive as the microwave was that they were a custom size for it. Neither dimension matched the microwave Depth and height needed to be cut.Another very frustrating thing: the screw hole locations. You screw these fillers into your cabinets before mounting the microwave. The holes near the elbow are so difficult to reach . Why wouldn’t they make a hole on the opposite edge, so you can fit a screw driver through it and reach the screw…
Not a professional looking result. I’m not sure why this is called a trim kit if it isn’t the same the legnth as the microwave, even when the brand is the same. This Whirlpool trim is 3+ inches shorter than the Whirlpool microwave so the finished look is not what you expect at all. My package was missing the mounting hardware too, not that screws are hard to come by.
Great product and deal This was the best price I could find and it looks great with our Bosch microwave. It is stainless steel contrary to a previous review it is grey. The only thing that is grey is the plastic protective coating that needs to be removed.
