Pros: 'Like the convection oven and three oven racks.
Cons: Oven should be better insulated.
The Bottom Line: If you are considering this range just to have a complete suite of matching appliances, don't. If you have high expectations of Jenn-Air this one may disappoint.

| galegal's Full Review: Jenn-Air JGR8875RDS Stainless Steel Gas Range |
First let me qualify this by saying I know I am spoiled. My last range was a beautiful old sea foam green Chambers with a polished steel top, griddle/broiler, three burners and a soup well. It had more chrome than a '56 Buick and was better insulated than the space shuttle. It was advertised as the stove that lets you cook with the oven off. No matter who built my next range, it would have a tough act to follow. This one looks pretty nice except that the handles do not match those on the other Jenn-Air appliances it was purchased with. Unlike those on the refrigerator and microwave, they are curved. This is my first range with a black top and it shows every crumb, spot and dust particle.
I am a baker. The convection oven is great for baking as it provides even heat. The three oven racks are handy for making cookies. That said, I could heat my house with this thing even with the oven door closed. The heat transfer is really unacceptable. One cheap plastic part on one of the burner control knobs keeps falling off. Over all it does not have the quality construction that I expected of Jenn-Air.
