Viking VMOS200

Pros: Good unit. Check the serial number (see review).

Cons: Evasive answers at Viking. Be armed with this knowledge before buying.

The Bottom Line: The newer ones are probably great. The older ones, will probably be great, once you have fixed your signal switch. Easy to fix the defect(20')

Review: The VMOS200 microwave by Viking, has a defect, that causes the fuse to blow, and power out. The defect is called a signal switch, which is somehow located in the door, and overheats causing a fuse blow out. The unit is made by Sharp, for Viking which ...

Pros: Makes a good doorstop.

Cons: Doesn't work. Laughable customer service. As expensive as they come.

Review: I purchased this microwave in May. It has operated a total of about 10 days since that time (out of about 4 months). It keeps blowing an internal (read "service technician only") fuse. The warranty shop has had it now for three weeks waiting for a part fr ...

Pros: It is the same brand as my range

Cons: The only CON is Viking Corp.

Review: I can probably throw mine 5 feet into a wall. I had the same fuse/switch blowing ordeal, plus half of my LCD panel doesn't light up and I can't find anyone who sells parts. It costs me about the price of 2 good microwaves to repair 1 crappy ...

Pros: The microwave worked flawlessly for 26 months until it suddenly quit altogether

Cons: I expect a $500 microwave to work longer than 2 years & 3 months

Review: We purchased a Viking 1100 watt microwave oven from RSI Distributing in St. Louis in July, 2004. After relatively light usage during the past 2 years & 3 months (mostly to make popcorn and oatmeal), our microwave suddenly would not "power-up". We took ...

Pros: Absolutely NONE

Cons: Nothing Viking works.

Review: I have an all Viking kitchen, less than 3 years old. Tonight the microwave caught fire. The $4,000.00 range/convection oven has been defective since day 1 and still does not work. The microwave was replaced once, one week after it was installed. The ...

Pros: Matches our Viking Oven.

Cons: Expensive, poor quality, no customer service.

Review: After just 2 years, the fuse keeps burned out and the display is almost gone. It takes 2 minutes to replace the fuse, but an hour to move it in and out, as it is big and heavy to handle. Bought it because my wife wanted to have matching brand. Quite an ...
