You probably know of the supply chain
issues regarding appliances, especially a whole kitchen of appliances.
However, you can buy a kitchen appliance
package with a professional range without spending a fortune or waiting a year.
Fisher Paykel versus JennAir is a comparison
showing you decent and available alternatives with
pro ranges under $15,000.
In this video, you'll learn the differences
between both brands, including reliability based on
over 40,000 service calls logged by our
service team just last year.
Let's get started.
Both the 30 inch ranges with high output burners.
Both have convection and keep consistent temperatures
with fan forced heat.
Both are powerful.
Fisher & Paykel has one 22,500 BTU burner,
and three 18,500 BTU burners.
JennAir has two 20,000 BTU burners, one 18,000 BTU burner and one 9,000 BTU burner.
Fisher Paykel is 4.6 cubic foot, about 11% more than the JennAir at 4.1 cubic feet.
There is an enormous difference between the broilers.
JennAir is underpowered at 11,000 BTU.
While Fisher Paykel has an 18,000 BTU
infrared boiler. Infared is direct heat, and
it's great for grilling and broiling with
regular gas broiler diffuses the heat throughout the cavity.
JennAir is self cleaning while
Fisher Paykel is not. For smart functionality,
JennAir was one of the first smart
professional ranges, allowing you to turn the
range on and off and change temperature from an app on your phone.
It's also Alexa and Google Assistant compatible.
This Fisher Paykel range is not WiFi enabled.
Many of their ranges are. Their parent
company Haier, and subsidiary company GE, have
one of the best smart platforms, Smart HQ,
so I imagine smart technology will be part of this range eventually.
Reliability of Fisher Paykel is more reliable
at 10.3% service in the first year, then JennAir 15.4%.
Both the brands perform better than the
average, 16.7% for professional gas range as a whole.
Other than washing dishes, these brands have little uncommon.
Both have plenty of cycles to wash and dry.
JennAir is the quietest dishwasher made at
38 decibels, while Fisher Paykel is
fairly good but still slightly audible at 45 decibels.
The standard for quiet dishwasher is 44
decibels. Depending on how you load this dishwasher,
you'll either love the two drawers or not.
You'll have the advantage of not needing to bend down as much for the top drawer.
You could purchase the Fisher Paykel
dish drawer panel ready so it fits seamlessly with cabinets.
I wouldn't recommend panelizing a JennAir or
any other American dishwasher. It'll look like a dishwasher with a panel stuck on it,
because the dishwasher will protrude past your cabinets.
Both are better than the average at 12.8%. JennAir is
one of the most reliable dishwashers.
Fisher Paykel was pretty good at 9.9%
service in the first year.
Also easier to fix with their module take out DC Motors.
Both are counter depth to your cabinets so
that you won't see the chassis.
Both are French doors as well.
JennAir is an older technology using just
two sensors to regulate temperatures.
One for the fridge and freezer. Whirlpool, JennAir's parent company, has
improved JennAir cooking and their more advanced column style refrigerator.
This model, the JFFC72DKL is
made on an older platform.
It's not as updated as most other manufacturers.
Fisher Paykel has an active smart technology
employing multiple sensors in the freezer and
refrigerator with central microprocessor monitoring humidity and temperature.
Fisher Paykel is about 2% more reliable
than JennAir refrigeration at 12.6 versus 14.6%
repair in the first year.
Both are good choices with decent products
and good features, with availability being the best, at least for the moment.
JennAir has a good range, a super
quiet dishwasher and a more established name.
Fisher Paykel is unique.
Their double drawer dishwasher is one of a kind.
Their stove has all professional high output
burners the refrigerator is smart-
looking for better temperature controls.
Look at availability and especially service availability
in your area as determining factors.
Oftentimes fast service will trump any feature differences.
