Comment:

Unbelievable! Nowhere in any of the on-line sites peddling this unit did anyone mention that Jenn-Air does not offer trim panels. Be prepared to spend a few hundred dollars and a few hours of your time extra to get a custom panel shop to make you an end-of-cabinet run trim panel.<br /><br />BTW: Had I known this I would not have purchased Jenn-Air.

Comment:

We've been thrilled with this appliance to date. Initially had reservations about a side-by-side, but the 42-inch holds a great deal of food on both sides. It is a beautiful appliance as well. We've had no problems with reliability or performance thus far. We purchased this model solely on the ratings of CR when we were shopping for this appliance. Glad that we did not go with the french door style (of any brand) as we had originally planned to do - too much cubic feet sacrificed with the french door design.
