Electric to gas swap
This is a replacement for the electric 4 element version which came with the house we purchased. JennAir did some nice modifications to this newer model. The downdraft now has a plastic catch tray closer to the top which makes it less likely to rust and easier to clean when you spill something down the vent opening. The grease filter is also smaller making it easier to clean. It would be nice if the exhaust fan below the unit had the option to configure the discharge on either side vs. just the left side. This would give you more flexibility for installation. The burners work great and give you a wide variety of highly controllable heat. It would also have been nice if the vent fan was made to have infinite speeds like the old model it replaced instead of three dedicated speeds. The only true negatives I have are the burner knobs were slightly misaligned upon removing the unit from the shipping packaging. I was able to get them almost perfect but had to push on them quite hard to move the valve bodies within the unit to get them to align with the mounting collars. The other issue was as others have stated, the gasket for sealing it to the counter top didn't come in the packaging and we had to order it from JennAir. It took a week and a half to get the seal. JennAir representatives were very nice and helpful but this issue should have been corrected by now and the gasket should have been expedited to us.

Too Expensive for Mid-Level Quality
Okay cooktop and does its job. Ours arrived open box-damaged and Best Buy/Pacific Sales playing games replacing (delivery/install crews are different-not coordinating both, have come & fine 3 times with no resolution). Knobs works great but hard to keep area between clean. Cast metal flame emitter tips stain super easy and won’t come cleane. Use very mild cleaner on enamel to avoid scratches. Jen-Air should make a quality after-market protector to go in the burner well to help preserve/making cleaning easier. Grates or nice/look great but heavy to lift out and keep are under them clean. Too expensive for what you get… not much difference in price between higher end stuff.
