Help with Stove Recommendations

Thread Starter 
I am in the process of renovating an apt. kitchen in NY with upgrade to "pro" style appliances. I was set to get a 30 inch Viking with sealed burners and self cleaning oven when the dealer recommended a Jade RJRG 3010A - basically the same thing but from Jade which is a commercial stove supplier as well. But I can't find anything about residential Jades on the web - the repair record, general satisfaction.
Does anyone have any knowledge of the retail Jade Products? Thanks for your help.

Welcome!

I'm moving this to the Equipment forum. Good luck in your quest.

Sorry never heard of Jade, but I do know that there are a number of manufactures of commercial grade equipment that are as good as or better than Viking at lower prices.

I have no knowledge of Jade residental units, but I have worked and owned Jade commercial units and was pleased.

Jade Residential Ranges

Thanks for your replies - I am leaning towards the Jade - it actually has 2 18000BTU burners and 2 12500 burners with a real simmer capability which the Viking doesn't have. Otherwise they are basically the same except the Jade is less well known.
Any other comments welcomed.

I haven't had any problems simmering on Viking. I did need a gas regulator put in 35.00
Ventilation is just as important as the cooktop.

Mightn't the Jade need a lot of fireproofing for the walls? If you rent would your landlord allow that powerful of a unit?
