Disappointing trim for the Panasonic NN-SD982S 2.2 Cu Ft Microwave
Beautiful trim for the Panasonic NN-SD997S 2.2 cuft Microwave
Great trim piece. Your cabinet opening must be exactly as specified or you will need to trim wood or tack in extra wood to get it exactly the opening so the trim will attach to the tabs correctly.
Why so costly? This is not only the trim but a metal tray that centers the microwave in the opening and also a vent that attaches to the microwave and directs the steam from the side of the microwave to the front of the trim piece.
It gives the microwave a real finished look.
very nice even though…
The kit does what it it’s intended except that I think the ‘fit’ of the microwave to the kit reflects poor design. There is a significant gap on the sides between the microwave the kit. The gap is about an inch. It would have looked much better if the space was more like 1/4- 3/8". Also, the base should be set so the microwave sits about 3/8"closer to the front as the face of the microwave is not flush with trim kit. I’m both amazed and disappointed and Panasonic’s poor attention to detail. If you’re wondering why I kept it… my kitchen has two built-in microwaves, one smaller than the other. Panasonic was the only manufacturer that I could find the same microwave in two different sizes that fit.
