Never knew they made a domestic line.
I just know them through commercial kitchens.

Garland Ranges (Commercial) had a Star Shaped Burner which concentrated the heat on the bottom of the pan.
They were my brand of preference when I was a Saute Dog on the line. LOL. Those burners could reduce a sauce in a snap. Sure, other brands were good but the circular burners heated the sides of the pan more than the bottom.
They clogged easily and had to be burned off or drilled out frequently. They offered a Standard series which had Enamel Burner Bibs but then had a Hotel Series which were cast steel Bibs.
You don't see them that often anymore as South Bend, Vulcan , and a few other brands took over.

I was expecting to see a stainless steel range. I didn't know they had a household line either.
Is Imperial a good brand? I see so many of those in restaurants these days. In fact, I only see other brands mostly in chain restaurants, well at least in places where I can actually see the kitchen equipment.

Imperial, American Range, and the others...
They make heat. It's just like a domestic range where 99% of the time it is the person doing the cooking. Your food won't come out any better on a $5,000 range or a $300.
I have been a Chef for my entire life and can bake and cook well on my next to BOL 12 year old Kenmore Range.
The only range that I truly detest and just cannot get used to is the Glass Top Electrics. I only have the pleasure of a glass top is when I go to my Dad's house for a visit. I just find them truly painful to cook on them due to hard to control heat. The concealed element oven too is another favorite. ( Not )
As far as electrics go, Calrod, Corox, Radiant Tube, and Induction are fine with me. There is just something about those Glass tops I find tough to adjust to.

This Garland has what look like Harper Center Simmer Burners. Mom's Crown had those. It was amazing how those 4 little flames that could be adjusted up and down also, could keep 6 quarts of spaghetti sauce at a slow simmer.

Glass top stoves
I agree with toploader55. The first time I ever had to cook on one was when we were stationed in the UK back in the early ‘90’s. I was constantly cleaning up boil-overs and when the liquid got beneath the pan, the pan would bounce up and down on the boiling liquid. I have a ‘77 Jenn Air cooktop now that has a set of glass top cassettes that sit in their boxes in a closet. I was grateful when I found the electric eye cassettes beneath the cabinet after we moved in.
