Viking VEDO205

Pros: Simple, Good looks, Viking name, Convection, easy to use

Cons: Quality, design (costly to repair), 1 year warrentee, lack of features [multi timers, temp probe]

The Bottom Line: If you want the name brand and need simple (old school) dials OK; however, the oven has a history of failure and is expensive to repair [due to poor design].

Pros: Beautiful design, solid feel

Cons: Useless for baking anything that requires accurate temperature control.

Pros: looks good, 6 burners

Cons: oven is totally unreliable

Review: My viking, electric oven-griddle -6 burners, hasn't worked on and off for the past 6 months. When it was repaired last, about a month ago, the thermostat and preheat board were replaced, free of charge- even though I'm out of warranty. My Viking was ...

Pros: Hyped-up name recognition; easy controls

Cons: Unreliable; prone to break after little use; no consumer help from Viking after warranty

Review: I ran into a similar problem to that described by the other reviewer. 14 months after installation, the bottom oven stopped heating. The fan worked, the light worked -- just no heat. After calling all the local contacts -- my installer, the Viking west ...
