JennAir JED8430

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...

Pros: I really can't think of any except that everyone has been very nice.

Cons: Material, workmanship, hard to clean, and price are cons.

Review: Wish I had read the reviews. Would NEVER have gotten a Jenn-Air. Loved my 20 year old Jenn-Air. New one is tinny, very sloppy fit, lower power on grill. Been complaining about it for over a month.Sears says it shouldn't be that way. Jenn-Air says it...

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...

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: 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...

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...
