Jenn Air induction cooktop comments
Comments (0)Hi. Does anyone have any comments on the 30" Jenn Air induction top? I cant find anything in the search. I have to confess Im not really much of a cook, so Im probably not going to notice some of the subtle nuances others might. The other option is Miele. We like the way the Miele is rimmed, but not sure the price difference is worth it for me since I doubt Ill be taking full advantage of either top's features. Plus we get a free DW with the JA (which we'd just sell). THanks,...See MoreThermador, Miela & Jenn-Air 36'' Induction Cooktops
Comments (14)Yes Soly, the red aura is the inner workings of the top when powerfully lit from above. I saw a little red on a Miele in a showroom, but the Kitchenaid I saw recently was alarmingly red. When my hood light is on I can look closely and my Gagg hobs are slightly burgundy, and if I peer down I can see a tiny bit of the workings in red. I don't know if the showroom lights were way more intense than a home hood, but the KA I saw really turned me off. You didn't have to be right above it to see it as you need to be with mine. There's no difference when it's operating...you know it doesn't glow red-hot like an electric smoothtop. Mine always appears black unless you're searching for the reddishness. The Thermador I saw in the showroom didn't seem to glow red either. And it looked really cool. But not as cool as the silver one! The Thermador was a top contendor...I just got a great deal on a fully warranty-ed discontinued Gagg for about what I'd pay for a GE...and I LOVE the knob! Maybe take a flashlight to a showroom and pretend to be a hood? Have you checked out the Bosch's? I think they now have the shut off timers, and Gagg, Therm, and Bosch are all made by the same crew. BTW, had a service check on my Gagg (5 year warranty!) and the dedicated Gagg/Therm/Bosch guy came out in his cool Bosch van. It was SO refreshing to have a tech actually know the product in and out. He says he responds to very few service calls on the induction units...just "is this what it's supposed to sound like" calls like mine. I'm sure it's the same with the Miele dudes. You'll love it no matter which you select!...See MoreAnyone have a Jenn-Air induction cooktop?
Comments (6)I am comparing the Jenn-Air to the Bosch 800 series (new model). They are fairly similar in pricing, with slightly different feature sets and controls. Jenn-Air offers an auto boil function that monitors a pot of water so that it does not boil over and remains boiling. Bosch offers timers that actually shut down the element when the timer ends. There's also an "autochef" function that has pre-programmed frying settings. My local appliance store sells both and likes both. The Bosch features are probably a little cooler, but my impression is that they are both good choices. I've done a lot of research, and there are people who will always hate Jenn-Air (understandably), but Whirlpool has invested a lot of money in making the company a flagship brand for them. I may go Bosch just because the new Bosch ovens fit my needs better than any other brand in my price range, and buying both will make my overall cost less, but I'm still considering both. I would encourage looking at live models, if you can. Controls can be a huge personal preference you aren't aware of. I quite like the Jenn-Air slider control, but you may not....See MoreJenn Air Induction cooktop
Comments (0)I have a lemon Jenn Air electric cooktop. I may be able to turn it in. I would love induction. Anyone know about Jenn Air's induction cooktop? Thanks, Adele...See Moreshalieanna
