Will let you know soon getting one this week as part of our remodel. It is tough finding many reviews on new JA appliances since they were bought out and redid their line. We went with all JA Pro Style appliances in our remodel because we liked the look, all 3 stores we went to recommended them and they had a great package deal (DW was free). I will write a review once we have them installed and have used them.

Does anyone have an older Jenn-Air dishwasher to report on? The workings should be somewhat the same. We were told that Jenn-Air has been making dishwashers for a long time and that J-A helped Electrolux start making their dishwashers. ...there must be some J-A owners of an older model?

sskit...Did you have to buy all 3 appliances to get the free dishwasher? Were they offering anything buying 2 J-A appliances?

honey333 - The DW was included if you purchased a range or cook top and wall oven and fridge combo. Also the $200 rebate applied to Fridge. JA also had free installation on all appliances. Their website has details on this. Only catch is rebate is in the form of prepaid Master Card but this was not that big of an issue for us since we have other items to purchase. We thought it was a pretty good deal and got all pro style. New JA is a different manufacturer than the old models.

sskit: Do you know who the new manufacturer is?

I believe they were bought by Whirlpool and completely redid their JA line. JA is their top line followed by Kitchenaid, then others. My feeling is no reviews is good news since most people tend to post when they are not happy with something.

I've had a Whirlpool for the last 22 years, which has never needed any repairs at all, not even a small part! It does an excellent job, and no cloudiness. If it wasn't for wanting a professional look, I would get another.

fauguy, I heard the Miele was good, but it doesn't have a heating element. I prefer my dishes heat dried. My present Whirlpool has a heat element and also an energy saving air dry, which dries the dishes with a few places water might collect, but I don't like putting dishes in the cabinets, even slightly dampish, so I always use the heat element.

The salesman really liked the Jenn Air trifecta. We're getting an Electrolux ICON SxS fridge, and a Viking range. One reason why I'm questioning the Jenn Air, is that I thought the color of the stainless was different than the brighter stainless that the Electrolux Icon and the Viking range both have. The stainless of the Jenn Air, to me, looks more like the Wolf range stainless, .. a greyer brushed look. This may be a color difference that only I can see. DH thinks the Jenn Air stainless is okay with them. Does anyone else think there are difference in stainless shades?

When I was researching different brands last year, I too was concerned about drying. I ended up going with the Miele because of the mostly positive reviews, and was impressed by the units on display. In the 16 months that I've owned it, all the dishes have come out dry. In fact, I would say that 95% of everything I put in there is dry by the next morning. The only exception are cups or glasses with concave bottoms (where water can pond) and some plastic tupperwear containers. But those few items weren't dried by the GE unit I had before, and it did have a visible heating element at the bottom.

I had my JA appliances delivered and installed yesterday and they look great. Since I got all JA I can not comment on the color of the SS compared to other models. I know you can mix and match and there is no right or wrong answer regarding this but we went with all JA because we wanted SS and handles to match since they were fairly close together especially fridge/range/oven.

sskit, are you happy that you got them all to match? I can't match all 3, but I'm wondering if I should at least match the fridge and dw.

fauguy, ...don't know if I should be worried about not having the heat element in the new dw? I used my heated air dry option this evening in my present dw (I haven't used it in a while). The dishes did dry about 85% of the way. I think with the door left open for a while they should dry the rest of the way in a short time. There's water on the bottoms of some cups, and dampness on the inside of the door, and a little on silverware, but my dishwasher is older, so my air dry may not be as good as the newer models. Yours is newer, can you tell me if some water stays on the silverware and inside the door in your Miele?

I usually turn the unit on around 10pm/11pm and the total run time using the Normal or Pots/Pans mode is close to two hours. The way it was explained to me is that during the final rinse (when the liquid rinse aid is dispensed) it heats the water up to a higher temp (since there is an internal water heater in the Miele units). Then when it drains and goes into the drying mode, there is a small fan that activates and draws cool air in from the room and circulates it around the stainless steal cavity of the unit. This causes condensation drying, as the moisture in the dishwasher is drawn to the cooler walls. It does this for about 20 minutes. The next morning when we open the unit up, there is no water or dampness on the door or sides. All the dishes and pans are dry. Cups and glasses are dry (except for any ponding that can occur on their concave bottoms), and all the silverwear is dry in the top cutlery rack. But any plastic/tupperwear containers and their lids will still have water beads all over them and have to be dried by hand. This is because those tupperwear items don't heat up much from the water, so the rinse raid doesn't work well on them.

I think it matters most if they are next to each other. In our kitchen DW is not but Range, fridge and wall oven are (especially last 2). Not sure what type fridge we were getting but we got a French Door with water on the inside. It is cabinet depth and fits perfectly in the cabinet we had made for it with just the door sticking out. Not a huge fridge but at $2K for pro style and cabinet depth we thought it was a decent deal. It got a good review on consumer reports and has a $200 rebate and a free installation rebate.

I've had my Jenn-Air TriFecta for about a month. Love that it is extremely quiet. Can barely tell when it's running!
I moved the Silveware basket to 'along the front' so I didn't have to completely open the door and pull out bottom rack to put in a couple spoons!!
I removed all the ' little basket covers' so I'd have more room for dishes. I am not able to get stemware, especially large wine glasses to stand up. It would be nice if there was an optional insert for stemware. I may try to buy one somewhere else. I had an old Kitchen Aid for last 20 years and it seemed to be easier to hold any dishes, maybe the prongs are too short in this Jenn-Air. This DW cleans beautifully. I run the 'Normal' cycle and turn off the drying to save energy. Overall I love it.

I am glad to hear that lilsunfish mine is sitting there and looks nice but will not get hooked up until granite and sink are installed next week. Thanks for feedback!!

I have this jennair dishwasher and have had nothing but trouble with it. it is loud, and it leaked and ruined my hardwood floors. I do not recommend this dishwasher

I have had the Jenn Air Trifecta with third rack for 2 or 3 years now. Bought it in a set including cooktop and wall oven, which meant I could get the Trifecta DW for free. Paid an extra $300 to get the 3rd rack. I love my DW! It's quiet and cleans thoroughly. The racks glide in and out so easily, too.

Overall, I've been happy with all my Jenn Air appliances, even though they don't get much love on this forum. I added a refrigerator almost a year after I bought the other appliances, and it has been great, too.

We have the “top of the line” Jenn Air dishwasher, refrigerator and under mount microwave convection oven. They are all great until they’re NOT! Our dishwasher has broken down several times in the 3 years we have had it. Their customer service is the worse we have ever dealt with. No parts available to fix it. Wanted us to wait 3 more weeks, (after it took 3 weeks to determine they didn’t have a part) to search for the part, 3 more weeks to get it delivered and didn’t know how long it would take to schedule the repair. We bought a Bosch and sold the Jenn Air. Don’t buy Jenn Air. Our friends had same problem with their refrigerator!

Totally agree with you, eitajarrell! Bought my JA 48” gas range and dishwasher as a package deal when we did our kitchen remodel in 2017. Well what do you know, 3 years after we bought it they range oven’s control panel started giving me problems, and now the dishwasher won’t go through a full cycle. WORST PRODUCTS EVER! The worst $12K ever spent. I’m in the process of seeing if I can get the dishwasher serviced by a JA technician, but after reading your experience I’m sure I’m just better off replacing it. :-(

Typically better results to call a local, independent appliance servicer. There's no need to go through the manufacturer for service if the machines are out-of-warranty (and independent servicers can be authorized for warranty service).
