Just be aware that you need to measure both top and bottom when centering the face trim on the cabinet.

After installation I found that a slight touch of a corner tears your skin open. Maybe if the corners were cut straight and aligned, there wouldn't be a sharp corner (actually all four corners) sticking out. I had to remove the trim and CAREFULLY file the corners and edges. Garbage production. The manufacturer should be ashamed. I wish I could bill them for my time.

I have been in this new house for 5 years. My original microwave, a very expensive Monogram convection ($1200)(800 power) has broken down 3 times now. The magnatron is covered by warranty for 10 years. Big deal, the house call & installation alone ran me $250 each time. I found a really nice Stainless Steel Panasonic at Sams Club (after this 3rd breakdown)for $148. This microwave while not convection (I never used the convection part in the orginal one anyway) has a large turntable which the other one didn't and was much larger inside capacity 1250 power. Being that it is a table model and the original was a built in is where my problem was. I searched all over town for a frame kit to no avail. Got on internet and found a few but were not sure if they would fit. One seller advised me against it. When I found the one on Amazon, I decided to take the chance. It arrived so fast and I had it up the same morning. I just had to call my husband when it came time for the muscle of putting the oven back in. He laughed and patted me on the back and said I did good. He saw me running all over town for a week and then took a chance and it was perfect. It is beautiful and strong and if my oven ever breaks again, I have the frame all ready in place. It looks like it came with the house. I can't be happier.

The only tricky part is detaching the lamp socket and squeezing it into the housing without tearing the gasket. If there is a flaw, it is the poorly placed, easily ripped gasket that seals between the socket and reflector. It's important to not man-handle the reflector or trim ring because they are pretty thin metal. I would also advise washing your hands after removing the old parts and before handling the new because dirt shows up really well on the white trim. And, as I mentioned in the title, I can now use cheaper "normal" bulbs instead of reflector ones and get lots of light. <br />The old parts went into curb-side recycling and the new trim and better light make for an easy 15-minute can-light make-over.

They are easy to install, fit well, & should provide a good seal to prevent unconditioned attic air from entering conditioned spaces. The instructions that come with them could be a little more clear, but, installation can be easily figured out. The only drawback to using "airtight" trim pieces are the somewhat reduced lamp wattage that can be used in them (to prevent overheating). I advise taking note of the list of bulbs that the manufacturer recommends for these and making sure those bulbs will work for your application. I'm using 40 watt regular (A19) bulb and, because the 30WATH trim has a conical reflector, the light output is nice and bright. I recommend these to anyone interested in saving on heating and cooling costs. Rating: 5 / 5 Purchased 8 of these to install in Halo H7ICT recessed light fixtures.

It was around 20.00. You get more than you pay for and this is better in quality than anything I could find in a local store for the money. <br />While it may not be made from the strongest metal in the world (not meaning it's cheap, I didn't say that) it doesn't need to be. I would definitely recommend this product. Rating: 4 / 5 For what I paid for this you can’t go wrong. It was around 20.00.
