downdraft ventilation system electric range

[mscott22]

hi, i need help in locating a deal on a slide in electric range with a built in downdraft ventilation system.

The only one i am able to find is a jenn air from $1400 to $2100 & this breaks my budget.

Can anyone suggest any possibilites. thanks mscott

We too need the same thing to replace our old one. I've researched both online and at stores, and it appears Jenn-Air is the only brand who makes a downdraft slide-in electric range. Talk about a monopoly! If anyone knows of another brand, I'd love to hear more. It seems a couple other brands manufactured this product years ago but have since discontinued making them.

 

What is the lowest price you are finding for it (and where)?

 

Thanks!

my local sears has a 15% off coupon price this week

so i bit the bullet and ordered one yesterday.

also no finance charge for 1 year right now.

lowes and home depot carry them here but the price were all $50 within each other.

this is the best deal i could find after much internet research. good luck.

Why not buy 2 seperate units? We put a cooktop and a seperate downdraft behind it into my daughters kitchen. It comes out cheaper than buying the jenaire. Hope this helps.

I had looked at doing that, but it all added up to about the same price. We need the cooktop and the oven underneath and don't have a lot of depth behind the cooktop area for the separate downdraft fan.

 

Can you give me an example of the brand/price of cooktop and downdraft you are talking about? Maybe it would work for us...

 

Thanks!

Sorry, thought you just needed the cooktop, not a complete downdraft oven. My daughter has a separate built in oven, and her cooktop and downdraft are in her island. I think the downdraft was from Sears. FYI remenber many stores wll price match & give an additional 10% off.
