Pros: Large burners, small top oven is efficient. Ease of cleaning.
Cons: Ignitors fail easily, clock/timer too basic, won't go all way into normal space.

| dougvg's Full Review: Jenn-Air JDR8895BA Dual Fuel (Electric and Gas) Ra... |
We love this stove...when it's working correctly. It has a serious design flaw in that any liquid that touches a control knob will short out the ignitor switch situated below the knob. This is a huge pain in the a__ to fix, or a huge expense, if you get a repair person to do it. These are cheesy, poorly protected parts that fail way too easily for a range in this price range.
Other than that problem, we really do love the large burners, ease of cleaning, and the small upper oven - we use it three times for every time we use the larger, lower oven. The top oven preheats very quickly and is much more efficient than the larger one.
Come on, Jenn-Air, put decent ignitor switches in this expensive range!
