Viking introduced professional cooking to the home when their first range shipped in 1987. Now that same exceptional performance extends into every corner of the kitchen - even the backyard. Refrigerators. Wine Cellars. Dishwashers. Grills. Cookware. Cutlery. Small appliances. It's enough to turn any cook into a chef.
When people think of Viking, the bold, commercial look of the Professional Series range is the image that most likely pops into their heads. Ultra-premium features like high-performance burners, convection baking, and infrared broiling easily handle everything from crème brûlée to rack of lamb. The legendary Viking range is available in gas and electric models, as well as an array of sizes and finishes to fit any kitchen.
And for those who want professional performance without the professional look, there is the Designer Series. Clean lines and contours meld gracefully into cabinets with style, offering a striking new look for Viking. Fully equipped with outstanding features and power, this complete line of built-in products doesn't sacrifice any of the world-renowned Viking performance for fashion's sake. Haute couture meets haute cuisine.
Viking doesn't see the kitchen as a collection of products, but a complete cooking environment. Cooking isn't a chore - it's an art form. Everything must work together in form and function. Both the Professional and Designer lines deliver the ultimate in performance with a cohesive look for the kitchen. Each line offers a full range of products, so you don't have to resort to mixing and matching brands and styles. Viking offers the truly consistent ultra-premium kitchen. The complete Viking kitchen is complete perfection. Available at AJ Madison.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by Ovi Will not dry dishes
Purchased an entire Viking kitchen. Everything else works fine, but the dishwasher will not dry the dishes, no matter what. I called Viking to complain, and they said it is due to the lack of the heated dry feature, to comply with energy usage requirements.
The 30 year old dishwasher I took out was better than this.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by awhite6455 Loving it!
Renovated my kitchen a few months ago, all with Viking. I love every appliance I bought. I don't understand why everyone is having problems with it, I love it.

I bought a Viking Pro equipped home with all their appliances. They all work great EXCEPT the supposedly top of the line dishwasher. Hardly worked prooerly since Day One. Motor and curcuit board replaced. Then the start switch. I have to unplug and then re plug the appliance in the outlet unde the sink to even work. It is dead most of the time and always need s repair. A real lemon. Back to Bosch or Miele.
The dryng cycle takes so long and does not really dry properly.

Rated 1 out of 5 Horrible Dishwasher
Do not buy this dishwasher. We bought it 3 months ago. It does not wash well and does not dry. Called Viking service line, they tell us to use only Cascade detergent and Jetdry, which of course is not in their manual. We had Kitchenaid previously for one third of the price and it worked perfectly.
