About JennAir

JennAir is a high-end appliance brand known for creating designs that break the mold. Their appliances push the style envelope with unique options like Mystic leather panels and a limited edition burgundy column refrigerator interior with a snakeskin motif glass air tower.

Every year, JennAir appliances win awards for design and function. Good Housekeeping’s list of the 10 Best Luxury Kitchen Appliances & Brands includes the JennAir RISE Professional-Style Range and Built-In French Door Refrigerator. The JennAir RISE Design Expression dishwasher was showcased in Architectural Digest’s Great Design Awards 2022, and The New York Times Wirecutter named the RISE Single Wall Oven a top pick for the Best Wall Ovens of 2022.

With a luxury refrigerator, the impressive style is meant to be designed for, not around—meaning that you don’t plan out your whole kitchen and then settle on a refrigerator. The design of the refrigerator informs and interweaves with the design of the whole kitchen.

10 Distinctive Features of JennAir Refrigerators

What features set JennAir refrigerators apart? Here are 10 distinctive features that make investing in a JennAir refrigerator worth it:

1. Industry-Exclusive Colors

Daring Obsidian interiors are inspired by volcanic glass, delivering reflective, high-contrast style. Many models have a timeless stainless steel finish, and JennAir offers limited edition finishes as well. At the time of publishing, JennAir had recently released Mystic, an authentic Italian leather cut into panels in an opalescent azure green with an intricate texture. JennAir column refrigerators featured a bold (and limited edition) burgundy interior design with a glass air tower with a snakeskin motif. These exclusive colors set your kitchen design apart.

2. Premium Materials

Premium materials don’t just deliver style—they lead to a longer lifespan. This may be one of the biggest differences between high-end and mid-range or budget appliances. While most refrigerators last around 10 to 14 years, JennAir refrigerators can last 20 years.

  • Less Plastic: JennAir’s column refrigerators are made with less plastic, which makes them last longer.
  • Aluminum and Glass Shelving: Sturdier refrigerator shelving is superior for storing your food, and they’re easy to clean. Not only that, but glass shelves are undeniably more attractive than plastic shelves.
  • Articulated Hinges: This style of hinge enables your refrigerator doors to sit flush with your kitchen cabinets. To achieve a seamless design, this is a must.

3. TwinFresh Climate Control System

One of JennAir’s most impressive refrigerator technology features is the TwinFresh Climate Control System. You can control the temperature of individual bins, and the refrigerators have three distinct temperature zones while the freezers have two. Whether you need to keep produce crisp, meat fresh, a party platter chilled, or desserts frozen, you have the power.

4.    Flush Installation

JennAir’s built-in refrigerators, columns, and under-counter fridges are precisely engineered so that reveals are as small as ⅛ inch. The hinges are hidden, your appliances seamlessly integrate with your cabinets, and you can even opt for a panel ready design.

5. Panel Ready Designs

Luxury appliances allow you to customize your kitchen. With a panel ready design, there is no stainless steel panel on the door, so you can pair your fridge with a custom-made panel that matches your cabinetry.

6. Brilliant Lighting

JennAir refrigerators take every style detail into consideration, including lighting. Dramatic lighting systems ensure that the contents of your fridge are fully illuminated, and the soft LED glow stands out against the dark and daring Obsidian interior.

7. Dual Evaporators

Most refrigerators have one evaporator, but JennAir refrigerators have two to ensure more accurate temperature and humidity control. This means every item in your fridge—from crisp lettuce to your favorite yogurt or a delectable cut of meat—will stay fresher for longer.

8. Smart Refrigerator Features

The JennAir app works with iOS and Android devices. In terms of features, you can activate the Max Cool setting to lower the refrigerator’s temperature for a short time, which is ideal for when you’re unloading the week’s groceries. You can also turn on the Max Ice setting, which is perfect for stocking up on ice before a party. The app will also notify you if the door is left ajar, when the temperature in the fridge or freezer compartment reaches above a set temperature, and when it’s time to replace your water filter.

9. Different Configurations

The beauty of a built-in refrigerator is the ability to choose a configuration that works for your kitchen layout and design plan. JennAir offers side-by-side refrigerators, French door refrigerators, and bottom freezer built-in refrigerators along with undercounter refrigerators, beverage centers, refrigerator drawers, wine cellars, and column refrigerators. Column refrigerators feature totally separate refrigerator and freezer units that offer modularity. You could choose to place a column refrigerator alongside a column freezer, line up three refrigerator columns for more storage space, or opt for a wide refrigerator column between two freezer units. You can find a configuration that best suits your needs, though it’s worth noting that JennAir recommends installing no more than 3 column units in a row.

10. Low Volume

Especially if you have an open floor plan, noisy appliances can kill the mood of a party, drown out conversation, or cause distraction. JennAir refrigerators are engineered to minimize the noise level as much as possible.
