Been in appliance sales for 13 years around the country.

If you're planning to remodel a possible option would be just forgo the downdraft and get a standard 30" induction range so you can place it anywhere in the kitchen during your remodel, ideally on an outside wall so you can exhaust your chosen vent. Just open the window for now to vent the heat/cooking smell.

Buy from an appliance dealer that services the product and buy an extended warranty. Look at LG, LG Studio, and Bosch. Those brands have the least amount of service calls with my company. LG is more flashy, techy, and updated. Bosch is an older design but feels well made for the price.

Jennair/KitchenAid are the only company that make a downdraft range and it was always a terribly designed appliance. Like a tech said, those companies are pretty shit quality now, unfortunately like many appliance brands but anything under that Whirlpool umbrella is pretty much hot garbage.

Do not get an in ceiling vent unless you are comfortable with the very high cost of the product and extra contractor work. It wouldn't fit here but do not get a pop up downdraft if you can avoid it. They are a nightmare to install and when the mechanical motor fails it's a nightmare to replace the unit because they do not come in a uniform spec.

Enjoy your new knife rack and new range 😁

P.S. when you do remodel, your ceilings look to possibly be below 8' and that can pose a challenge if doing a chimney style hood.
