In Consumer Reports brand reliability ratings, Viking is dead last for all its products. GE Cafe ovens may be a better choice at a much lower price.

Viking has had a long history of issues and even though they were purchased many moons ago by another manufacturer, I'm still reading reviews that the issues continues. Several of the locally owned appliance stores told me in 2019 that they were big Viking dealer but dropped them a few years back because every Viking appliance they installed, they would have at least one repair call on it within the year! The last 2 years I did a lot of research on the French door ovens available and it appeared to me that the one that is the winner is the GE Cafe or the Monogram. Every review I read from those that had purchased these they had no complaints and were very happy.
