Sears recently announced an agreement with Jenn-Air to make Sears the only national retailer for Jenn-Air's new collection of super-premium appliances, highlighting advanced technology, higher performance and overall enhanced design. Beginning later this month, consumers will be able to purchase as many as 17 Jenn-Air appliances in approximately 255 of the appliance retail giant's largest stores—in various retail formats.

"Sears continues to listen to our customers who have voiced their desire for a super-premium line," said Doug Moore, senior VP and president of Home Appliances for Sears Holdings. Ann Fandozzi, Whirlpool Corp.'s VP of sales and marketing for Sears added, "The Sears and Jenn-Air relationship aligns two companies committed to offering advancements in appliance technology, combined with elegant design and enhanced functionality."

Jenn-Air's appliance categories to be offered include wall ovens, Pro-Style cooktops, ventilation products, downdraft cooktops, microwaves, slide-in ranges, built-in refrigerators and high-performance dishwashers. "We're impressed by the technology, performance, fit and finish of these products," Moore said. "Customers investing in super premium appliances require the type of knowledge and guidance that the Sears Blue Appliance Crew and our sears.com website can deliver."
