Quick Answer: JennAir sells exactly two ice makers, both 15-inch built-in undercounter units — the JUIFN15HX (gravity drain, ~$3,399-$3,599) and JUIFX15HX (drain pump, ~$3,899-$3,999) — and both make only clear “Gourmet Cube” ice, never nugget, per current AJ Madison, Abt, and Plessers listings. The real surprise for anyone comparison-shopping: unlike Viking, Marvel, and U-Line, none of the retailers selling JennAir’s current models publishes a daily production rate — only the 25-lb storage capacity — making it the one premium brand on this site where you genuinely can’t compare output before buying.
If “JennAir ice maker” brought you here hoping for a nugget machine, that product doesn’t exist under this name. JennAir — the brand behind Pro-style ranges and panel-ready “Rise” and “Noir” refrigeration — treats ice as a narrow, built-in-only category, and a smaller one than most of its premium-tier peers.
The JennAir lineup at a glance
| Model | Drain | Ice type | Storage | Output | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JUIFN15HX | Gravity | Gourmet Cube (clear) | 25 lbs | Not published | ~$3,399-$3,599 |
| JUIFX15HX | Factory pump | Gourmet Cube (clear) | 25 lbs | Not published | ~$3,899-$3,999 |
Prices and specs per current AJ Madison, Abt, Plessers, PC Richard, and Town Appliance listings, October 2026 — confirm against an authorized JennAir dealer before ordering, since panel finish is sold separately and shifts the final price.
JennAir JUIFX15HX Undercounter Ice Maker
- 15-inch panel-ready undercounter unit with an articulating hinge, Max Ice option, stealth-flush styling, and concealed controls, per Abt and Plessers specs.
- The drain pump lets installation route water uphill or across a longer run than a gravity drain allows — the main functional difference from the cheaper JUIFN15HX.
- Makes clear "Gourmet Cube" ice only; there is no nugget, crescent, or flake option on this or any current JennAir model.
A built-in install means a delivery window and a plumber visit before it makes a single cube — try Amazon Prime free for 30 days and a countertop machine can be making ice within two days while the JennAir installation gets scheduled.
Why the spec sheet skips the production rate
This is the detail that sets JennAir apart from every other premium undercounter brand covered on this site. Viking publishes 65 lbs/24h for its clear-ice models. Marvel and U-Line both publish rated daily output for their comparable undercounter units. JennAir’s own retailers — AJ Madison, Abt, Plessers, and PC Richard — list the JUIFN15HX and JUIFX15HX by storage capacity (25 lbs) alone; none of the listings checked for this guide gives a lbs/24h production figure for either current model.
That’s not necessarily a worse machine — a 25-lb storage bin can still refill steadily through a day of use — but it does mean a shopper can’t line up JennAir’s output against Viking’s, Marvel’s, or U-Line’s using the numbers retailers actually publish. Anyone comparing undercounter ice makers purely on daily production will have to look elsewhere for that figure, or call a dealer directly.
JennAir vs. the competition
- vs. Viking (closest premium peer, nugget available): Viking’s FNIU515D makes real nugget ice at up to 65 lbs/24h for about $5,169-$5,529 — a feature and a published spec JennAir has neither of. See our Viking ice maker review.
- vs. Marvel and U-Line (built-in specialists, published output): Both brands sell undercounter nugget or clear-ice units rated 50-65 lbs/24h with the figure stated up front, something no current JennAir listing provides. See our Marvel ice maker review and U-Line ice maker review.
- vs. Thermador (same ownership tier, no dedicated unit at all): Thermador doesn’t sell a standalone ice maker — ice only comes bundled into a refrigerator drawer or freezer column. JennAir at least sells a dedicated ice-maker SKU, even without a published output rate. See our Thermador ice maker guide.
- vs. Whirlpool (JennAir’s corporate parent): Whirlpool-branded refrigerators use add-on and replacement ice-maker kits ($67.50-$170) rather than a dedicated undercounter product — a completely different shopping path than JennAir’s $3,399+ built-in units, despite sharing a parent company since the 2006 Maytag acquisition. See our Whirlpool ice maker guide.
- vs. GE Profile Opal 2.0 (countertop nugget): The $429-549 Opal makes real chewable nugget ice at up to 38 lbs/day, a figure GE actually publishes — at roughly an eighth of JennAir’s entry price, with no cabinetry cutout or plumber required. See our GE Opal 2.0 review.
Who should buy a JennAir ice maker?
Buy JennAir if ice hardware needs to match an existing JennAir “Rise” or “Noir” panel-ready suite and clear cube ice is all you need. Buy the JUIFX15HX specifically if the install requires routing drain water uphill or over distance; otherwise the cheaper JUIFN15HX’s gravity drain does the same job. Skip JennAir entirely if nugget ice matters — Viking, Marvel, and the GE Profile Opal 2.0 all make it and JennAir never will — or if you want to compare daily output before buying, since JennAir is the one brand here that won’t give you that number up front.
The bottom line
“JennAir ice maker” points to exactly two SKUs, both clear-cube-only undercounter units priced $3,399-$3,999, from a brand that’s been part of the Whirlpool family since 2006. The detail worth remembering before you shop: JennAir’s own retailers never publish a daily production rate for either model — just a 25-lb storage figure — so if output matters as much as finish, that number has to come from a dealer, not the spec sheet.
