JennAir - 30 in. Wide 5 Elements RISE 6.2 Cu. Ft. Downdraft Slide-In Electric Convection Range with Dual-Choice Element - Stainless Steel

Downdraft range works fabulously! The glass top is easy to clean following the manufacture instructions and overall I am very pleased. The actual installation was also great, the team knew what they were doing and were very respectful and careful. Scheduling the installation was a pain in the *** Our range was delivered two full months after purchase date and after multiple reschedules. The last two times it was rescheduled, we didn't even get a notification, I have to check the website. That was aggravating as we bought and paid for a new range to replace one that wasn't working properly and then any plans we made had to be changed until it finally was delivered and installed.

This review is not based on performance. I have no idea how this unit functions when installed. This review is for anyone looking to replace their existing JennAir range. Be warned, your existing ventilation system won’t line up with this upgraded model from JennAir. Our old JennAir was the best. It lasted several decades before the ventilation blower motor malfunctioned and couldn’t be replaced. That model had side cutouts for duct connections. The new model can only be connected to ductwork from underneath or behind. If your house wasn’t built with this type of ductwork in place, and if you’re not doing a full remodel, the downdraft ventilation very likely can’t be connected. This was incredibly disappointing especially when we contacted multiple contractors who didn’t want anything to do with such a project. The second part of my review is for Best Buy directly: your employees who participate in the chats should be better informed. If not, they should at least be honest. I was assured by more than one Best Buy employee that I’d have zero issues connecting the new unit to the existing ventilation of my current unit. In the end, we returned the unit and resigned ourselves to the loss of external ventilation in our kitchen.

This range with down draft is awesome. Instalation was a bear!

We’ve waiting for the delivery of this range, we roughed it for over 3-4 months … delivery kept getting postponed / backordered. I think in all we had 4 different delivery date during that time, with all the struggles in trying to make meals without a range we survived, and it was well worth the wait… we LOVE our new range, ty ty ty

So far so good, unit has been in for two months, I did the install of the down draft myself works great much more draft to the outside.
