Get to Know Jenn Air 

JennAir was founded by Louis J. Jenn in 1947. The company was based in Indianapolis, Indiana, and primarily produced industrial fans – which is where the “air” comes from in JennAir. Eventually, the company started developing fans for ranges and expanded into kitchen appliances. Today, it produces a wide range of refrigerators, dishwashers, and microwaves.

JennAir was acquired by Maytag in 1982 and then became part of the Whirlpool Corporation in 2006. The company used to be known as Jenn-Air, but Whirlpool removed the hyphen so it is written as JennAir. Today, JennAir is considered a high-end appliance line.

Jenn Air Refrigerators

The best way to get to know JennAir products is to look at the different models available. As far as refrigerator pricing, you can expect to pay around $4,000 for entry-level JennAir refrigerator models. But other refrigerators from the lineup can cost more than $10,000. The final Jenn Air refrigerator cost highlights how this brand is marketed toward luxury buyers who want commercial-grade appliances in their kitchens.

Here are six different types of refrigerators and the models produced by JennAir with those designs.

Jenn Air French Door Refrigerators

French-door refrigerators are currently popular with homeowners across the country. Users enjoy having easy access to different sides of the appliance without opening the refrigerator all the way. JennAir combines the functionality of French doors with modern technological advancements for a quality appliance.

One of the most striking features of this refrigerator is the black interior. There are plenty of LED lights to maximize visibility and showcase your food while still impressing anyone who uses the appliance. To further highlight how gorgeous this model is, the glass shelves are lined with brushed aluminum trim to add texture and elegance to your refrigerator.

Featured Jenn Air JF42NXFXDE review: “I've had this for a month now. Tons of space, quiet, and the black interior is beyond elegant. Couldn't recommend more highly.”

Jenn Air Side by Side Refrigerators  

Side-by-side refrigerators are also popular with fridge users who don’t want to bend down to access food. You can keep your most important items on the top shelves of your refrigerator and freezer so they are easy to access. In most side-by-side refrigerator models, the refrigerator section is slightly larger than the freezer section.

Jenn Air Bottom Freezer Refrigerators

The bottom-freezer refrigerator design is similar to the French-door models. The main difference is that there is a single door that opens to the refrigerator section. The freezer can either have a pull-out drawer or a standard drawer. These are a good choice for shoppers who want the convenience of an elevated fresh-food compartment similar to a French door model at a lower price point.

Featured Jenn Air JB36NXFXRE review: “We have thoroughly enjoyed our new refrigerator. We especially like the door is balanced so it doesn't always automatically close making loading it easier.” 

Jenn Air Built In Refrigerators

Your refrigerator doesn’t have to be the centerpiece of your kitchen. Instead, you can look for built-in refrigerator models that can hold panels that match your other cabinetry. This can create a seamless flow within your cooking space, and allows you to truly customize your refrigerator. Want a panel that matches your cabinets? You can do it! Prefer to make a statement?

Jenn Air Column Refrigerators

Column refrigerators are considered specialized appliances and the ultimate way to create a custom kitchen layout. Instead of the traditional refrigerator with a freezer attached, column refrigerators and freezers can be split up and installed in a way to makes more sense with a kitchen’s natural architecture.

Many of the French-door and side-by-side options are also made to be counter-depth, which enhances the elegance of the appliances.
