Jenn-Air 45″ Designer Line Gas Downdraft Cooktop Review

Finding a great cooktop can sometimes be a difficult task. The main reason for this is because there are literally hundreds of various models you can choose from. If you’re looking for a high-quality gas cooktop, than there is one company that you should turn to. Jenn-Air has been producing quality cooktops for many years, and one of their latest products is the Jenn-Air 45″ Designer Line Gas Downdraft Cooktop, Model: JGD8345ADW. This gas cooktop provides users with many features and is surprisingly inexpensive for the overall quality this product delivers.

One of the most common problems many gas cooktops have concern ventilation. While many other gas cooktops may have less-than-desirable cooktops, this Jenn-Air cooktop features the downdraft system, which features a two-speed fan. If you are buying a gas cooktop (or even electric), you will need to ensure that the ventilation system is superior. Since many individuals use their gas cooktops to prepare grilled foods, there is an excess amount of smoke that can accumulate. With a sub-par ventilation system, this smoke can quickly fill your kitchen, however, with this Jenn-Air 45″ gas cooktop you will never have to worry about your smoke alarm going off.

If you enjoy outdoor grilling, but aren’t able to grill during certain months of the year, or when it’s raining, you will really enjoy this gas cooktop. This grill is able to cook foods just like you would in an outdoor grill, except you can do so in the climate-controlled environment of your home. This is a great secondary grill if you cannot use your outdoor unit due to cold weather or rainy days.

Another feature is the E-ven Heat grill assembly. This feature allows the heat to be spread across the cooktop evenly, which is usually a big problem with most gas cooktops. The grates also feature a nonstick surface, which allows you to clean up quickly. This gas cooktop can also be converted to LP gas, which comes with the necessary LP conversion kit. The cooktop also comes with an electronic ignition as well as continuous grates that feature cast-iron design covered in porcelain.

The contemporary design is another great buying feature of this cooktop. No matter what color your kitchen comes in, this cooktop allows you to seamlessly integrate them. With this model coming in either black or white, it will always add a nice statement to your kitchen. The average price for both colors is $1,679. For a Jenn-Air gas cooktop, this is a very reasonable price. Remember, if you have never installed an item like this, you will need to have a professional do so since you will be dealing with gas. Safety comes first.
