1.0 out of 5 stars Low quality Viking appliances, September 26, 2009
This review is from: Viking VDSC5304BSS 30 Professional Series Dual Fuel Range
We're architects and routinely specify appliances for new and remodelled kitchens. Among the worst mistakes we've made was to specify an all Viking kitchen - refrigerators, range, dishwasher, and compactor. Every one of these appliances has failed! Our client has now been without a refrigerator for a month, because Viking was out of stock of a part! The dishwasher had to be replaced. The range has required hundreds of dollars of repairs, and still doesn't work properly. Our advice? Avoid all Viking products!

1.0 out of 5 stars Viking Service is Awful, February 23, 2009
By 
Peter (New England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Viking VDSC5304BSS 30 Professional Series Dual Fuel Range
I have a Viking 48 inch gas range withthe old style open burners and gas fired ovens.

The ignition system on the burners went out, as it has for many, many Viking Range owners. The service tech replaced the spark module not once, but twice, with defective-from-the-factory units. Unfortunately there was a long wait between each attempt. I eventually found an alternate replacement part number from a discussion board and used that part to fix the problem. Viking never did solve the problem for me, I had to do it myself.

Meanwhile the burners in the ovens were having issues with ignitors. The oven burner would also regularly mis-light, igniting the gas in the venturi section of the burner instead of at the burner itself. That was always a bit scary!

The large round gas stove top burners make it impossible to simmer and just as impossible to use small diameter pots or pans. The physical placement of the flame is in a large diameter ring, which works fine for big saute pans and stock pots, but don't try to melt a little butter in a small pot, or heat up a cup of water in a 1 quart sauce pan! The flame super-heats the outside of the pot while leaving the middle relatively cold! The large size of the burners means that there is far too much heat to simmer even when the flame is carefully turned down to its lowest possible point. There is simply too much flame there!

I see that Viking now calls their griddle a "Simmer plate." Unbelievable that you could spend $6k or more on a "professional" stove that requires you to use a griddle to simmer!

Service stinks, reliability is lousy, and even when the thing is working at optimum performance it still is a disapointment. Buy something else!

1.0 out of 5 stars High style, Low reliabilty, February 12, 2009

This review is from: Viking VDSC5304BSS 30 Professional Series Dual Fuel Range
In this Viking stove, the gas range igniters are, take a deep breath here, Controlled by a Board Computer!

In my just 2 years old condo building, this part broke for me and 4 other apartment owners, and we had to have it replaced, $475 before tax.

One last thing, there are no child safety features in this stove.
