Viking Range Stainless/Gray Stand Mixer 7 Qt. Reviews By Customers

I just purchased this mixer and so far I love it! I own a small bakery, and my other two stand mixers, a Kitchenaid Pro-600 and the Cuisinart 7-quart, both had issues. For some reason the powers that be at Kitchenaid made the attachments out of a metal that cannot go in the dishwater, or it turns black. One of the dumbest ideas ever..and the Cuisinart was starting to make funny noises and the tilt head no longer stayed all the way down..we have to hold it down. So I bought the Viking, even though the biggest negative was the noise of the motor and "mixer noise" from the constant use of mixers often gives me a headache. What noise? The Viking is MUCH quieter than either the Kitchaid or the Cuisinart..we couldn't believe it after reading the reviews. So far it works great, and we really put our mixers to the test. We'll see how it holds up in a month or so, but it is the quietest mixer I've ever owned.

Not for heavy duty mixing! - M. Ray -
We used to have kitchen Aid mixers. They're junk. I ended up replacing the transmission in one of them myself only to have it go out again. So, after much review, and a belief that Viking was a high end product we bought the 1000 watt mixer. It works fine for light loads, but at the first attempt to knead wheat bread dough, a fairly hefty mix, a few months after buying it, it started make gear grinding noises and slipping. When I called the factory to see if they would "stand behind" their product and replace the transmission, I was told that "no it would cost me 0.00 just for the part". Very disappointing. It still works for light loads, but I am going to try the Electrolux and hope for better results.

Not Worth the Price - Mark D Burgh - Fort Smith, AR United States
I paid a lot of money for this Viking Mixer when my Kitchen Aid died of plastic gearing, but all I've had is grief and frustration. Not only did it fail completely, but it cost me time & effort for repair. Don't buy this mixer. Better to mix by hand than to spent this amount of money for something that's poor design never worked.

Perhaps its better to think of the Kitchenaid as only renting a mixer for a few years.

hate it - E. Pollack - NY, USA
We bought this expensive mixer because we thought Viking was a good high-end company, but I have been nothing but angry and disappointed with it. The blades do not reach the bottom of the bowl, leaving a large portion unmixed, and it is hard to get the blades to attach- sometimes they stick and sometimes they don't, and sometimes they fall off in the middle of mixing. In short, it is a hassle.
