JennAir JED8430

Pros: Easy to clean, easy to use.

Cons: Stays warm for a long time.

Review: I bought this product to replace an existing jenn-air cooktop. I'm very satisfied with the quality and functionality of the stove top. I had read the reviews here before purchase, but haven't experienced any of the reported problems with my unit. I've ...

Pros: easy to clean

Cons: Must remember if light is on - top is hot.

Review: I chose the Jenn-Air for its design. I have never been burned on the knobs, I have had no problem cleaning the fan and vent. Maybe I am different type cook but only once have I gotten food in the vent area. Used paper towels and chopstick and had no ...

Pros: Easy to clean

Cons: Knobs melt

Review: We bought a house that had this cooktop. I haven't experienced any heating problems as the other reviews have noted. The only problem we have is one that existed when we arrived....obviously the previous owners didn't know that the knobs weren't heat ...

Pros: Looks nice, easy to clean, no complaints about how it cooks.

Cons: Downdraft fan is underpowered, burners stay hot way too long after turning them off.

Review: I was surprised to read the bad reviews for this cooktop, so I'll share our experience. My wife picked it out along with a matching double-oven. We got a great price on both, as Home Depot was selling the floor models which were never used, of course, ...

Pros: looks nice

Cons: make very cheap...the fan spring has been replaced 3 time and still broken

Review: I've read everyone's response on this stove....my issue is the knobs have all melted (uneven heat/temperature) and i don't know if i can replace with metal knobs and if yes, what does anyone recommend? I'm afraid if i replace with plastic again, they ...

Pros: I worked for Maytag

Cons: never purchase another maytag or jenn air

Review: I have this model- the front right burner that has two settings (small or large pan) the knobs gets hot! ...

Pros: It's pretty when it's clean

Cons: It's hard to keep clean, and it is terrible for cooking.

The Bottom Line: Terrible.

Review: The first reviewer summed up our feelings perfectly: 'Oh, how I hate this thing!" I have spent more time keeping this cooktop clean (using a razor blade, the special glass cooktop cleaner, and lots of elbow grease) than any other I've ever owned. ...

Pros: Can't think of any

Cons: Lots of problems--don't buy any cook-top with a downdraft configuration like this.

Review: When I first bought this cook-top, one of the "hot burner" lights stayed on all the time. Not a huge problem, but annoying. It was under warranty, and got fixed. Now the downdraft knob sticks (no longer under warranty). It is impossible to simmer anything ...

Pros: Looks nice and cooks OK when it works

Cons: No reliability, expensive, slow service, no solution to continued problems.

Review: We have had our electric cooktop for almost 2 years and are on our fourth major repair. We have had the entire unit replaced twice and now another complete replacement due this week. Burners simply stop working. The main burner hasn't worked in 2 ...

Pros: None.

Cons: Too numerous to list. A piece of junk!

Review: We have this model which came with the house we bought. It is absolutely terrible. The burners heat unevenly with hot spots. E.g., try cooking an omelet. It's guaranteed to stick to the pan's center. Center vent is a repository of just about every ...
