WE ARE ENJOYING OUR NEW FRIDGE, THE FRENCH DOORS MAKING IT EASY TO GET TO THE BACK WALLS. HAVING THE ICE & WATER INSIDE GIVES A CLEANER LOOK ON THE DOORS. THE LOWER FREEZER IS EASY TO GET TO, BUT IS SMALLER THAN WE HAD PLANNED. ALMOST NEED A FREEZER IN THE GARAGE TO ACCOMMODATE A FAMILY'S NEEDS.

I am very pleased with my new refrigerator. Love the ice and water dispensers and the layout of selves and drawers. I have a greatroom which includes the kitchen, dining and living room so the panel inserts were a must feature. However, because the market makes nearly only french doors, I had no choice (unless I wanted to spend $9000) but to go with the french doors, which is its only drawback. My fridge is at the left end of a counter, with an island across from it. To remove items and put back into, I must place the items on the island, open the doors and put them in or take them out and place on the island. Then move the items to my work area, which is to the right of the fridge, not on the island. I find this a bit inconvenient. Perhaps a rework of my kitchen would help, but that isn't an option - financially. I previously had a single door upper, with the freeze door on the bottom. Our salesman ventured a guess that a single door would be too heavy. Nevertheless, I would have preferred to have a single door that hinged on the left as my old did but couldn't afford that. Otherwise, very pleased.
This one replaces a smaller, 20+ year old fridge. Pros: Looks nice. Inside water dispenser is handy. Nice to see produce and adjust humidity. Cons: Shelves do not seem sturdy enough to support heavy items (think turkey in roaster). Could not get filter installed initially. Hard to keep outside fingerprint-free. Awkward freezer spaces. Have to open both doors to get into produce bin.
After postponing and delaying getting a new refrigerator for much too long, my wife and I purchased the counter depth french door refrigerator by Jenn-Air. New appliance purchases have never generated such pleasure and improved daily life in our home. The appearance, the size/capacity for storage, the shelf and drawer lay-out of both the refrigerator and freezer, and the GREAT ice maker have made us a happy family. Thanks Jenn-Air for getting it right.
We bought our refrigerator after our old one was leaking. I found that the Jenn-Air was able to keep my food fresher for longer periods of time and that I could better organize my food. I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
I bought Jenn air refrigerator because the house we moved into has all Jenn air appliances. We wanted to match all the appliances with the same brand. We wanted to buy a counter depth refrigerator. Regular full depth would stick out too much. I am very very happy with the purchase. I love the look of the handles. I got quickly used to the water/ice dispenser inside the appliance. I like the clean look on the outside. I love the deli drawer with the divider. It helps me to organize inside.
