Normally, as Diego puts it, I would be a "Contrarian" but given only the 2 choices, I would go with wolf. We've already seen a member of the Jenn-Air Family, Kitcheaid, have many problems with their ovens during self clean. It either blows a thermal fuse, but in a good many cases has fried the circuit board too. Now you add even more electronics in there LCD sceen etc etc, and I think you are asking for trouble. Perhaps time will prove us wrong, but I would not volunteer to be the Gineau Pig (SP). To be fair , all double ovens have complaints about blowing circuit boards after cleaning,(Even Wolf). but KA wins this contest "Hands Down". There are Ovens that are "In Between", Just the Basics (A La Wolf) and something with not quite the bells and whistles of the JA, but since that was not what the post is about, We'll keep quiet about it. Enjoy your ovens, what ever selection you make, We all hope it works out for you!!! Gary

I'm going to be needing new appliances soon - I'm redoing a kitchen. my local appliance store has a 30" Jenn Aire wall oven they'll sell me for 300.00. It's in bisque - I'm figuring that is the reason OR the model is a disaster. It is last yr's model too - which certainly doesn't bother me. it's JJW9530DDB - unless the B on the end is for the color. the one at the site address he emailed me is in black and that's the number on it. According to the website and the salesman it's also a convection oven which bothers me even more - this is an expensive oven (to me anyway) and for 300.00??? I don't have much money - but I don't cook much either so I'm not needing a super piece of equipment - just something to make garlic toast in, cookies maybe - and an occasional meatloaf. that's about the extent of my oven use. Oh - and I thought if I'm redoing the kitchen, I should put in new appliances. right now I just use a hot plate and small counter oven. that didn't seem right to do in a newly redone kitchen... I do like that it'd be a wall oven so it could be put up higher than one w/ a range since I have back problems. i had planned to get a range and figured I could get my needs met for around 500-600.00. This unit with a cooktop they have would be about 600.00. does this sound like a big mistake on the oven? the cook top should be fine - it's within price range it's selling for on the net / elsewhere. I called this store today to see how easy it'd be to find a 24" range in bisque. I can manage the 30" just didn't plan to since I don't cook much - seemed a waste of space to me. but I'd give up the 6" of counter space to have the oven up higher! I've started looking online for recalls etc and did find some negative reviews regarding the doors of this oven - seems some people have had them fall off and couldn't get them to stay on even with new hinges. that didn't sound good. It did seem this mostly happened on double ovens tho. This is a single - I certainly have no use for a double oven! anyone have any input on this oven? Jenn Aire ovens? have one? the very, very low price? last yr's model vs one's older than that? Here is a link that might be useful: jenn aire oven

This was just my own thought process... JennAir has had a spotty history and I had my own issues with a past JennAir range, but the appliance store owner encouraged me to look at the new JennAir when I was on the search to replace my wall oven. It offered new, untried technology, which made me very nervous, and frankly, the interface was more complex than I thought I needed, and looked like it had a lot that might possibly go wrong. I've always been told it's risky to buy the first try at anything, and I wasn't willing to risk the frustration. They also seemed to be trying to come up with something to emulate, while not copying, the Wolf oven technology that's been long proven. So I went with Wolf E-series oven that had what was already known to work, and I love it. I also have a Wolf rangetop. $6000 is a lot of money, but that 2nd set of choices sounds like (arguably, I realize) the best of the best. Maybe if you need to cut costs, you could make adjustments in that 2nd set, keeping the ones that are the most important to you? JennAir is now under the same ownership as Maytag, Kitchen Aid, Whirlpool, etc. I haven't heard a lot good about their customer service, when needed, and have read mixed reviews that made me too leery about trusting any of them. It's so hard to get your money back if you're dissatisfied with appliances.

Hello, I purchased this oven and have received 2 models so far and they both leak. JennAir has a warranty that states that the unit needs to be repaired rather than replaced after 10 days of ownership. The units both leaked after 10 days and I had to fight for new units. I am still waiting to get a new working model out of the box. It's been 3 months now..... Disappointed with my purchase.
