Product review (2 stars): Lots of problems
I bought a 30-inch Viking Range in 1994.  Immediately after I bought it, all the enamel started to fly off the burner grates as soon as I lit the burners.  Within months, they were so chipped that Viking had to replace them.  Then the oven door started acting up - as soon as the oven got hot, the door wouldn't stay closed on the oven!  Have had several instances where the electronic burner ignition suddenly just stops working - usually after I've used the oven, so I had to get a technician to come out and re-align the door.  Then a few months later, it just starts working again.  Go figure!  When the oven is on, the flame on the burners flickers and becomes erratic.  Guess you can't cook and bake at the same time with this expensive range.  I am very careful with things, i.e., this range has not been mis-treated;  nevertheless, over the years, I've had to spend a lot on repairs.
