I'd advise you to stay away from Jade - they're essentially out of business - I believe Whirlpool has purchased them. A number of posters have had problems with Jade ranges and refrigerators and can't get them serviced. Do a search on this board of Jade and you'll see the issues.

There is a good chance they are selling it at that price to get rid of Jade inventory (that's what we'd heard at some appliance stores recently). Read some other posts and do some research (you can email us or other posters, too).

FYI, if the burners on the model you're considering are sealed burners, the burner caps are very wide, even the 15K burners have a largish cap. To use a small saucepan, you have to lower the flame quite low in order to have the flame remain under the pot, and not going up the sides. If you use small saucepans (e.g. 1 qt) a lot, that might be something to keep in mind.

Thanks for the info guys. I didn't know that Jade had gone out of business! I will definately stay clear of em.

I am looking at open burner models for the most part. Thanks for the good advice there though.

I too was offered a Jade appliance at a tremendous discount. It seemed too good to be true. A brand new 30" double oven for $2,500. It turns out that this oven was manufactured in either 2005 or 2006 and Jade does not have a 2007 model. I don't believe that they're out of business, here's what I've been told:
"In 2006, they were owned by Maytag. The deal was really between Maytag and Whirlpool where Whirlpool bought Maytag thus causing confusion for all appliances. During that time, Jade became independent from Maytag and are no longer owned by them."
I was not comfortable enough to make the purchase even though most folks say that their oven product are excellent and bullet-proof.
