- The Jenn-Air Professional 30" range is fairly new,
being around for only about five years.
It does have some interesting technology.
We'll view some of their best features,
and compare Jenn-Air to some
other popular professional ranges
like Thermador, Wolf and Miele.

Starting from the top, you've one powerful 20,000 BTU burner
along with a 14 and two at 11,000 BTU.
The power burner's good, but quite honestly
the other burners are under powered.
Comparing Jenn-Air to the other brands,
Thermador has all 18,000, Miele has three at 19,000 BTU,
and Wolf has three burners over 15,000.
However, the control panel is a very user-friendly,
full color LCD touch screen.
It allows you to control the normal oven modes
in time of day.
It also has auto convection conversion
which can automatically convert your normal recipe
to a convection recipe.
In terms of oven control, Jenn-Air is very good.
Only the Miele is more robust with automatic controls
for just about everything including bread.
Jenn-Air also has twin convection allowing
for more even heat distribution than just a single fan.
Twin convection has become the standard
for most luxury brands, however, for an all gas professional
only Miele and Jenn-Air offer twin convection.
In dual fuel however, the convection does work differently.
The Jenn-Air all gas Professional is also self-cleaning,
and Miele is the only other manufacturer to offer that.
In fact, most professional gas ovens like BlueStar,
Capital, most Vikings and even Wolf and Thermador
are not self-cleaning and all gas.
In terms of price, Jenn-Air would be the best value
at $3,999, but it does offer you a $1,300 credit
towards your next Jenn-Air appliance.
The Jenn-Air Pro is competitively priced even
against something like just a high end gas slide-in range.
Jenn-Air may not be the hottest stove on the market,
but with good technology and twin convection,
it may be one of the best values.
