What customers say
This JennAir cooktop impresses with its beautiful design and solid construction, fitting perfectly into contemporary kitchens. Powerful gas burners offer excellent heat control for various cooking tasks, and continuous grates make cleanup straightforward. A significant drawback, however, is the downdraft ventilation, which many users find insufficient for effectively clearing smoke and odors during demanding cooking. Some also express concerns about long term electronic control reliability and the expense of specialized upkeep. Potential buyers should weigh the elegant appearance against the ventilation's performance limits and potential ownership costs.
