I probably have the micro you're talking about. Whatever the largest size trim kit GE has listed on it's site, is the one we have.

Our micro sits in a cherry panel with a cut-out for the micro, and then the SS trim is attached to that panel (the micro sits on shelf that is covered by that panel.

Here's a pic:

GE has this one:
GE 27" Countertop Microwave Trim Kit, Model JX1527MSS

But I'm not sure if fit the Spacemaker micro,

cat mom - Your micro looks great. Exactly the look I am going for. The 27" is the largest for that model but maybe I can have the cabinet company modify the cabinet a little to make it work.

giacomo it- I checked Panasonic and the problem I see is that the microwave ovens are all too deep to sit flush in a 12" upper cabinet.

houseful - I will check Microtrim and see what they have.

Thank you all so much. Jackie

jackie - one thing to be aware of is that although the GE Spacemaker will fit in an upper cabinet - you will need to recess it into the wall slightly to make it flush with the cabinets. I have the same model as cat_mom by the way.

Thanks jackiemcg. Just hoping we never have to swap it out!

We didn't need to recess into the wall because the cabinet in that space is 15" deep. If we had gone with a larger (deeper) microwave, then that would have been necessary. I think the microwave we and weissman have is just a little deeper than 12".

It shouldn't be a problem to recess it if I need to.

Weissman - Do you have a trim kit around yours as well? If so, is it in a 27" or 30" cabinet.

Thanks again. Jackie

Yes, I have the GE trim kit around mine - my cabinets are custom so my cabinet maker built it to the correct size but he also put pull-out spice drawers on the sides. You can see pictures on my homepage or on the Finished Kitchens Blog.

weissman- Your kitchen is beautiful. I am not doing custom cabs so that is not an option for me but I will figure something out. Thanks Jackie

We have that microwave (Spacemaker II) in a 30" cabinet.

bikey - Do you have a trim kit? If so, did you use the 27" GE trim kit or did you get a 30" one from another source?

I have the same microwave with the GE 27in trim kit. There is a pic of it in the post "finished white kitchen!" I like the looks of this one the best, but the cabinets had to be rebuilt above the microwave due to the slightly curved top of the trim kit.

The post disappeared. Heres the pic:

socabeth - Thanks for posting the pic. Your kitchen is beautiful and very similar to the color cabinets we have chosen for our kitchen (both perimeter and island) It is great to see how nice the contrasting colors look together - now I am getting really excited (even though the kitchen part of this project is still a couple of months away) The microwave looks great - just what I want. Thanks again. Jackie

We used the 27" trim kit. When the cabinets were built they made the opening the right width. If you have stock cabinets you can use normal filler strips. Here is is link to a pic of it.
