JennAir 36-inch Built-In Electric Cooktop with JX3™ Downdraft Ventilation JED3536GS

We are disappointed in this stovetop which has a few features that need to be improved, in our opinion. 1. If it difficult to see the outlines for the pans on the stovetop. 2. The knobs, although substantial which is good, would be easier to turn on and off if the gripping surface was not as smooth. If your hands are wet at all, it is hard to get a turning grip without using a cloth or paper towel to help. 3. The stovetop does not clean up easily and it is critical to use the proper pans with only stainless steel bottoms otherwise, marks are left on the stovetop that will not go away. 4. The fan works well and has a good draw which is nice, however, it is difficult to clean the bottom of the drip pan and it is not removeable. My husband usually cleans the stove but he is unable to do the drip pan because his hands do not fit easily into the opening. I also find it difficult and my hands are an average size. 5. I would not purchase this stovetop again with the current problems I have stated above.

I needed a 36 inch cooktop with downdraft venting, the choices are limited as my old unit was 25 years old, This model Jenn Aire was exactly what we wanted and the reviews were good for the glass top not scratching, Its has been cooking great and I am extremely satisfied.

got it as a replacement due to recall of all glass no knobs 36inch cook top. so not 100% happy. don't like knobs. accepted it because of no other choice

The previous cooktop and downdraft needed replacement. Actually, the cooktop wasn't that bad, but the downdraft was a mess. This single integrated Jenn-air cooktop has a great design, and the multi-speed downdraft is flawless.

I’ve only used a few times to far, but very pleased with the heating response time and control. Also finding the top easy to clean. The downdraft is also effective and reasonably quiet.
