Best 30 Inch Professional Gas Ranges (Reviews/Ratings)

For our home show, we will be offering free five year warranties with the purchase of any Wolf, Viking, Jenn-Air and Thermador professional range. To review, a professional range is a stove with high output BTU burners in a commercial appearance. They are available in all gas and duel fuel with electric convection ovens.

Following are the best 30 inch professional ranges (click here for 48 inch):

Jenn-Air	Thermador	Viking	Wolf

• Jenn-Air JGRP430WP: Jenn-Air has retooled thier cooking and has started to manufacture a great professional range. This range has two 20,000 BTU burners, an advanced interactive LCD clock and convection oven. Jenn-Air also offers a free dishwasher with the purchase of this range. We will extend their one-year warranty to five from February 11 through February 20.
