Consider this, too: Even the same brand and size may not fit in your cutout. If you have a trim kit, it almost certainly won't fit. Manufacturers have a bad habit of changing designs every few years. For instance, I had a 27" GE that I had to replace. I bought another 27" GE that would fit, although the exhaust vent was moved from the bottom to the side.
The trim opening kit had to be enlarged 1/8". That cost me another $100 to have a sheet metal shop do. I tried to file it down, but an hour of filing took off nothing. That stuff is hard. A new trim kit costs almost as much as a new microwave.
My error. My microwave is 30".
