Comments about Viking 48 in Professional Series Side by Side Refrigerator w/ Ice and Water Dispenser - VCSB483D:

We purchased this Viking Refrigerator to match all the other Viking appliances installed in our new home. Contractor recommended a high end KitchenAid, but we wanted a matching kitchen.Initially, we had significant problems with the ice maker mechanism (replaced under warranty), temperature swings (fixed under warranty) and condensation tray failure (fixed under warranty). The condensation tray failure caused a big water problem on our hardwood floors, which cracked (warranty paid repair expenses).Since these problems were fixed...we have had zero problems and are happy with the fridge.Would I buy one again?!? Probably not. For the price, there are too many "bugs" that can cause potential problems. If you pay $7K-$9K for an appliance...you should expect it to perform flawlessly.
