 baker in AtlantaDec 08, 2008
By Aleea Major

I love this mixer!! I began researching the countertop mixers after reading the poor reviews on the KitchenAid. This mixer works wonderfully! I use spouted whole grain flour to make everything from cookies to bread; it is a very heavy and dense flour to work with, but no problem for this mixer at all. I even made sprouted whole grain oatmeal raisin chip cookies and it mixed all the ingreidents very quickly and perfectly. This receipe used to bog down my old hand mixer and I would end up mixing by hand...forever. This is a wonderful machine and I am so glad I bought it. FYI, it is heavy, but has wheels in the base that allow you to roll it accross the counter.

Worth every penny!Jul 20, 2009
By bakerash
In my serach for a mixer that would make homemade marshmallows, I narrowed it down between the Viking and the Kitchen Aid. The Viking mixer was fairly new at the time but the reviews were great. The long standing Kitchen reviews had gone from good to terrible. From what I read, Kitchen Aid replaced some of its metal machine/motor parts with plastic parts and the mixers were breaking inside. For the same price the Viking is built better and is industrial strength. I can make multiple batches of marshmallows back-to-back without any strain on my Viking mixer's motor. It actually makes the marshmallows in half the time as my mom's Kitchen Aid, which is half the time the recipe calls for. I am very pleased with my purchase and would tell all my friends and family to get a Viking if they were looking to purchase a mixer. I am even looking to purchase their brand in other kitchen appliances. As a baker, you cannot go wrong with this one!

Awesome kitchen "shop tool"Oct 05, 2011
By Syzygies
I'm a guy used to good shop tools, and I bought this primarily to assist in making bread. I'm spoiled from my shop tools, and I roll my eyes and wince at the electric smell of an underpowered kitchen appliance. I concluded correctly that for a stand mixer, Viking was my only choice.
I researched Viking, KitchenAid, Cuisinart, and a few other brands. The stainless steel attachments can go in the dishwasher. There are no hidden plastic parts to fail. (Read all the reviews on competing products very carefully....) This mixer really, really isn't that heavy. (Try moving a drill press.) The 800 watts can handle bread dough without blinking. The design is simplicity itself, a tool one can be so proud of, one ends up playing with it every night. (Bread is like that.)
Go read half a dozen current bread books. They're rife with this concern that home stand mixers (cough! KitchenAid. cough!) can't handle bread without time outs. So why doesn't everyone buy a Viking? It costs $100 more, and there isn't an ice cream attachment. Priorities, priorities, I wouldn't spend a $100 less on something than can't do the job, I'd work by hand.

Very pleased with the quality of this mixerOct 18, 2009
By Russell L. Casement

We've owned this from Amazon.com for about 4 years now, and I stubbled onto the mixer again when i was window shopping online. This is a great mixer. Built for long term life time usage. We have shredded meat with it, made cakes, breads, cookies, and many other foods. It's built like a tank. At the time we bought this, Kitchenaide was using plastic gears in there mixer, and problems occurred.
Glad we got this mixer.

 broke after moderate usageJan 06, 2012
By Charles Dudek
Our 5-qt Viking mixer(VSM 500)is a little over 3 years old. My husband uses it only to mix bread dough..maybe 3 times per month. The retaining pin on the back of the motor housing/pedestal/tilt-back head loosened and the retaining clip fell out, making the mixer unusable without damaging the mixer. In order to repair the unit, I must ship it to Detroit (I live in Massachusetts). This should not happen on a $400.00 appliance.
