Comments:

The installation is too complex and poorly designed for such a high-end microwave. Be ready for several hours of adjusting, measuring and otherwise futzing with the trim kit to get it right. The core flaw is that the bottom of the trim cover attached to the metal frame that is installed with the Microwave (good!) while the top mount points are on the face of your cabinets (BAD!). If the whole trim face just attached to the frame of the microwave the entire trim face could 'float' and never have to mount to any wood. For the life of me the way they did this makes no sense. If you are handy and not afraid of the install this is a nice unit. If you're thinking you can just plop this in the space where your other built in was without a lot of work you might want to reconsider.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
