Help! Which induction?

7 years ago

We are looking for a slide-in induction range, and would love to have two ovens. Reliability and practicality are very important to me... I am torn between the Jenn-Air model JIS1450DS and the GE Cafe CHS995SELSS. Any insight into which I should choose? The Jenn-Air seems to have great reviews, but the size of their second oven is very small. GE Cafe's oven sizes look great, but reviews have been a little less strong. I'm stuck! Can anyone help?! Thanks :)

    We are looking for a 30" slide-in, also, either induction or dual fuel. We looked at the Dual fuel Jenn-Air yesterday and thought we had that decision made, only to read all the really negative issues people are having with the Aqualift cleaning system in the oven. I believe it is in all the new ranges made by Whirlpool which includes: Whirlpool, Jenn-Air, Maytag, Amana & KitchenAid. It is in the range you listed above. You can do a search on the appliance thread for Aqualift to read the comments. Good luck!

    I got the Samsung chef collection duo flex slide in induction. It’s great because instead of 2 separate ovens, it has one big one with a divider that you can slide in when you need to cook things at 2 different temps. That and the Bosch were highly rated, but the Bosch didn’t have dual oven feature. So far I love mine.

    Thank you both much for your input :) I, too, have read about the Acqualift, but in all the years of having an oven, I almost never use the self-clean features so it bothered be less. I was tempted by the Samsung too, but heard that it is difficult to service if you need it. However, I was very tempted by the duo flex option! In the end, we went with the Jenn Air... the great reviews won me over, and while I wish the main oven was a little smaller (and the small oven a little bigger), I think overall it suits our needs. Thanks again!

    I am delighted for you that you did not go with Samsung...they are junk. I don't know anyone that has gotten more than two trouble free years out of any induction model they make. Which is disappointing because I really liked the NZ36K7880US. I think you will like the Jenn Air though. I never use the self clean feature on an induction range anyway. I think the extra heat helps fry the electronics sooner rather than later. I have no proof of this, just a theory.
