Pros: none

Cons: not enough room

Review: My Viking leaked water until the last two repairs. A drip pan heater was installed. Water still leaked. On the second service call it was determined unit had been over charged when a defective serpentine coil was replaced a year or so ago. Over charging ...

Pros: Great design. Large capacity.

Cons: numerous mechanical problems.

The Bottom Line: Buy something else! Poor construction. Obviously Viking has concentrated on their great cooking appliances and dropped the ball on refrigeration appliances.

Review: We bought this expensive Viking professional grade refrigerator because we were buying all the other ...

Pros: Looks expensive, and it is

Cons: Lousy ice maker, freezes veggies on bottom shelf while top shelf is over 50 deg.

The Bottom Line: Takes days to make ice, and when the top shelf is at 50 deg veggies freeze in the crisper. Tried contacting Viking, but they are unresponsive. Avoid!

Review: I bought this fridge to match my 48 inch Viking range. Both look great in my kitchen, but thats whe ...

Pros: Looks good and matches our other Viking appliances.

Cons: Suspect this refrigerator has fundamental design flaw. I would expect more from a $5000 fridge.

The Bottom Line: I suspect that this unit has a fundamental design flaw, else the recommended repair would not include installing a part that is not part of the baseline design.

Review: Purchased this refrigerator with other Viking kitchen appliances during kitchen remodel in my home in Huntington Beach, California. It was installed on 6/17/02. Within 2 months started experiencing cooling problems. Technicians from authorized repair ...

Pros: Nice clean look w/other Viking appliances. Runs quietly with little heat output.

Cons: Unreliable! Can't trust it anymore. Now have world's most expensive Stainless cupboard in kitchen.

The Bottom Line: Avoid. Unreliable. Dealer unable to service quickly or effectively, doesn't stock parts.

Review: Purchased Viking Professional Series bottom freezer refrigerator in December 2003. Purchased unit because Viking have such a good reputation with their ranges, and unit has a clean, uniform look. After initial adjustments by dealer (would not cool ...

Pros: Looks good

Cons: DONT BUY THIS MODEL UNTIL HIGH PITCHED FAN NOISE IS RESOLVED.

The Bottom Line: Dont Buy this model until obvious design flaw/defect of high pitched wining cooling fan is resolved. It will drive you crazy.

Review: I just purchased my Viking VCBB363L about a month ago. From the very first day it was installed I noticed (as did my kitchen cabinet installers and other subcontractors working on the house) a high pitched wining noise on the upper fan. I called the ...

Pros: Looks great. Shallow enough to easily see fridge items.

Cons: Poorly designed freezer drip pan and upper refrigerator fan and housing.Hard to clean freezer.

The Bottom Line: I would shop around for other brands, and read consumer comments, before purchasing this model.  It looks great but has too many design flaws for a high end refrigerator.

Review: I bought this bottom mount freezer fridge 2 years ago as part of a kitchen remodel.  It looks great  BUT.. within the first year, I had to have the freezer drip plan replaced as it overflowed.   ;Viking has since redesigned...

Pros: There is not one pro comment when it comes to VIKING APPLIANCES.

Cons: Don't buy a VIKING appliance of any king.

The Bottom Line: Don't buy a VIKING APPLIANCE. They continually break down. Customer service at Viking doesn't exist.

Review: You expect that when you spend $6000 on a refrigerator/freezer that it would work. It did not work from the day we bought it. Viking informed us that it was not their problem and that we would have to work it out with the company from which we bought ...

Pros: looks good and actually cools well

Cons: We could rent a room to the repair man

The Bottom Line: They haven't learned how to make fridges. They need to stick to what they know--ranges. It would be nice if their authorized repair people stocked parts

Review: We purchased the refrigerator one year ago and started having problems within 6 months. First the freezer door had condensation and the repair service hooked up the mullion heater which is apparently installed, but not hooked up because it would reduce ...
