Why Trust Arnold’s Appliance?

Back in 1965, JennAir creator, Lou Jenn, began transforming kitchen appliances by integrating innovative design and technology. While JennAir’s focus is on cooking and refrigeration, you’ll also find this brand provides dishwashers and compactors. For this article, we’ll be solely discussing JennAir refrigerators and what makes this brand of refrigerator stand out from the crowd. We’ll discuss JennAir’s exclusive features, types of JennAir refrigerators, and JennAir ‘s refrigeration series. Finally, we’ll showcase three top-rated and popular JennAir refrigerators that are currently on the market. If you love merging beauty, tech, and practicality, you’ll love what JennAir brings to the table with its stylish and modern refrigerators.

Exclusive Features of JennAir Refrigerators

A distinct feature of JennAir refrigerators that stands out is JennAir’s blend of kitchen appliances with technology. As we mentioned earlier, the amazing ability of JennAir to bring together high-technology and refrigerators is quite impressive. Below we’ll touch on two astounding features of JennAir refrigerators: temperature control and the JennAir App. Both of these exclusive features take any JennAir kitchen to the next level. 

Temperature Control

Many JennAir refrigerators feature digital touch controls with an LED display so that temperature and humidity can be controlled in various fridge zones. With calibrations that happen every 1 second, sensors and an exposed air tower help take complete control of temperature and humidity so that food and drink remain precisely at the temperature you want them to be. Status alarms in under-the-counter refrigerators keep you informed of temperature changes and defrosting.

JennAir App

Available on iOS and Android, the JennAir App comes with features that help transform your experience with your JennAir refrigerator. With the app, you can easily control your refrigerator’s settings after connecting to it via Wi-Fi. You’ll also be able to receive alerts straight to your phone regarding your refrigerator’s status. Have an issue? With the JennAir App, you can quickly and easily contact a dedicated specialist to help you determine the solution to your problem.

Types of JennAir Refrigerators

As you’ll see below, JennAir has a huge variety of refrigerator types to fit your home and needs. We’ll start by discussing the most popular types of refrigerators: french doors, built-in, counter depth, and column. As you’ll see even further, JennAir offers even more refrigerator types in addition to these major categories.

French Door Refrigerators

JennAir offers a few styles of french door refrigerators from stainless steel exteriors to panel-ready exteriors that look like cabinetry. JennAir french door refrigerators are a classic-looking fridge design with double doors that open outward plus a bottom freezer compartment. This style of refrigerator is popular due to its large capacity to store food and drink in addition to its stylish design.

Built-in Refrigerators

Compared to freestanding refrigerators that typically stick out from the counters and can be moved easily to other areas of the kitchen, JennAir built-in refrigerators sit flush with your cabinets, so they’re not as deep, and cannot be easily moved. Built-in refrigerators are great for homes that have small kitchens in them like some apartments and condos. They also give the kitchen an overall feel of cohesiveness since built-in refrigerators align with counters.

Counter Depth Refrigerators

Unlike built-in fridges that are built into the cabinetry, JennAir counter depth refrigerators offer a similar look but are freestanding and can be easily moved. Counter depth refrigerators don’t always sit flush with the counters like built-in fridges do but they come close. This is a good option for those who want the look of a built-in refrigerator and the flexibility to move the fridge if needed.

Column Refrigerators

Column refrigerators are single-purpose units that are only used as refrigerators—there are no freezer compartments. They aren’t as wide as traditional refrigerators, so they look tall, thin, and sleek. Column refrigerators and freezers are convenient for customizing kitchen spaces to upgrade the look of the entire kitchen.

More Types of JennAir Refrigerators

But wait, there’s more! JennAir offers even more refrigeration and freezer options for the kitchen. Here are a few more types of JennAir refrigerators including wine coolers, freezers, and ice makers:

  • Bottom Freezer. Bottom freezers are common features of refrigerators because they offer a lot of storage space compared to other designs. They are also easy to access.
  • Side-by-Side. Side-by-side refrigerators have two doors only that open outward. The freezer compartment is typically on the left side whereas the fridge compartment is on the right side.
  • Under-the-Counter. Under-the-counter refrigerators are mini fridges that sit below the counter for easy access. These are great for holding refreshments.
  • Wine Coolers. Wine coolers can also sit under the counter and they feature racks for holding and chilling wine. This is a great way to conveniently store wine and free up space in the refrigerator. 
  • Freezers & Ice Makers. Freezers are typically sold as column freezers and look great paired with a column refrigerator. Ice makers are under the counter like wine coolers and mini fridges.

JennAir Refrigerator Series’

JennAir currently designs a series of refrigerators: Noir™ Design Express, Rise™ Design Expression, and JennAir Traditional. Each collection features specific design elements that we’ll detail down below. Whether you’re looking for a professional look or a simplistic look, there are plenty of refrigerator designs that JennAir offers to fit the feel of your kitchen space.

JennAir’s traditional collection of refrigerators features a wide variety of fridge options including bottom freezer, panel ready, side-by-side, french door, column, and more. You’ll also notice wine coolers and under-the-counter fridges. With JennAir’s extensive line of refrigerators and freezers, you’ll be sure to find exactly what you’re looking for.
