Clean low profile vent design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like the clean lines of the recessed exhaust vent. Easy to operate and not too noisy. I would recommend this unit.

Excellent Choice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When redoing my cooktop, from propane to induction, I wanted a downdraft like the one I was replacing—part of cooktop. However I chose the telescoping downdraft. Was uncertain when it was installed, hesitant to embrace, but man-oh-man do I love it. The exhaust is perfectly placed to remove steam and fumes from small and large pots as well as saute pans and grills. And the downdraft disappears when not in use. The fan was installed remotely resulting in the unit being almost silent.

Quiet, yet powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This model replaced the existing Thermidor fan from the early 2000s. It is much quieter and more efficient- and very easy to keep clean.

Sleek and Functional
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We replaced our broken downdraft vent so we already had the duct work done. I installed myself in an evening. Went pretty smoothly. This thing works and looks great. Highly recommend.

Star Wars Vent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So cool to have super quiet retracting vent. Awesome combination with induction cooktop. Contractor made super neat pullout storage shelf that "wraps around" blower box under stove for maximum storage & utility.

sleek downdraft
I bought this downdraft to replace an old one that wasn't working when I remodeled my kitchen. It seemed to be a bit hard to replace because I think the pipe I had before was bigger than what this one needed. It is nice looking, sleek and seems easy to clean.

Great downdraft
This was a replacement downdraft along with a Jenn-Air cooktop, (also very pleased with). It works very well with 4 speeds, the highest being noisy but to be expected since its working well to remove odors, the lowest speed is very quiet. The control is on the side of the vent keeping the outer appearance very sleek looking. I cannot comment very much on the Pros and Cons since this is such a new product for me and also because some of the items are non-applicable for me.

Smooth functioning and good functioning height
Nice tall height when raised works much better than older fan we had. High quality construction with smooth up and down movement. Fan is loud on high, but any model of downdraft is equally as loud. On lower speeds much quieter, but still works to remove steam when boiling.

Excellent downdraft that hides from view
This a great downdraft that rises high enough to capture all the steam that you want to remove.

Excellent Product
Installation was more difficult than expected as the unit is quite heavy. This unit provides adequate ventilation. It raises / lowers very smoothly and is easy to clean. The highest fan setting produces more noise than we had hoped, but as mentioned earlier, the ventilation provided is very good.

Jenn-Air Ventilation Comments
We purchased this to go along with our Jenn-Air 5 burner cooking unit for an upgrade of our kitchen. The two are perfectly matched. the new look, with our other new appliances turned out even better than we had anticipated. Very pleased.

James Bond downdraft
I love it. It works fantastically and does not block any sight lines in the kitchen. The multiple speed function is great. Only tricky part, most installers do not want to install downdrafts because they require more attention to detail. Totally worth it.

Promise Kept
We are so pleased with the downdraft that performs as promised. Because the system is higher then the average ventilation system, it removes the steam and odors completely.

Upscale Downdraft
I bought this to replace our old downdraft during our kitchen remodel and could not be happier. It is sleek and powerful~ runs like a charm. I love that the controls are on the side of the unit, so they are out of sight when not using.

Great downdraft
We bought all Jenn-Air appliances for our kitchen remodel including this downdraft. We have used it a couple times and find it to be easy to use. It is by far better than our older downdraft and I can tell it is high quality.

Great Downdraft
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The JenAiir downdraft is a little noisy but nothing to bad. My one concern is that the vent when extended up is wobbly as if it does not have enough support. Also the slider switch on the side for speed control could be improved since it does not have clear click points for each speed

Works well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works well. My only issue is the extreme amount of grease or lubricant that is randomly on the back side when it is raised up. Looks gross.

Does a great job
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unit looks great, the height of the downdraft vent and powerful suction does a great job in removing cooking smells. Unit is easy to install but is bulky and does take up about half the cabinet space under cook top. When the switch is pushed to raise or lower downdraft vent, it cannot be stooped until its fully raised/retracted. The switch can get stuck under the top stainless trim.

Works great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had our fan replaced about one month ago and are very happy we did. Before there was smoke and smells from whatever we were cooking. Now that is all gone with our new fan. The only thing is I wish it was not as loud.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the look and functionality of it. It’s a little loud in the highest setting but does a pretty good job doing what it’s supposed to do.

Functional Downdraft
Excellent performance for a downdraft. Difficult to install and align with a cooktop. Trim surface mars easily. Trim caps don't install well and look right
