Viking Stand Mixers

Viking Stand mixers are man-made by the Viking Corporation. Viking began as a major appliance constructor supplying market ranges designed for residential use. It was only natural that they would look at kitchen stand mixers as a natural fit to the goods line they offer consumers. Viking has two basic models the Vsm 500 and the Vsm 700. The main differences are the power of the motor and the mixer bowl sizes. The Vsm500 comes with a 5 quart mixer bowl and 800 watts of power. The Vsm700 has a 7 quart mixer bowl and 1000 watts of power. Both Viking stand mixers have the same appropriate features, colors and attachments or accessories. This can be quite handy if you are spellbinding up from the Vsm500 and have all the attachments already. The model reviewed for this report was the Viking Vsm 700 expert Series. I considered a number of factors for this review; power, mixer bowl size, features, warranty, and goods reviews:

Power: The Vsm700 features a powerful metal gear driven motor that has 1000 watts of power and three speeds. Metal gears last longer than plastic promising years of trustworthy service.

Kitchenaid Blender

Mixer Bowl Size: 7 quarts

Accessories: comes with 7 quart stainless steel bowl, paddle, whisk and dough hooks. Further attachments ready consist of a blender, food processor/slicer, pasta maker, and sausage maker. The splash guard is also an optional attachment ready for Further cost.

Features: Viking has a itsybitsy feature that most stand mixers do not. Easy glide wheels on the base of the mixer allow for easy movement on your counter top. This is a nice feature inspecting that a good market size stand mixer like the Vsm700 weighs almost 27 pounds.

Tilt back building allows the mixer attachments to be raised and lowered into the bowl easily. The attachments stay above the bowl so that drips don't get on the counter. You can lock it in the up or down position.

Viking stand mixers come in four basic colors; black, white, stainless gray and spellbinding red

Warranty: Viking warranties the motor and parts for 12 full months from the date of purchase under general household use. The paint or finish, and decorative items are only covered for the first 90 days from the date of purchase.

Cost: Viking Vms700 Stand Mixers purchased directly from Viking are listed at 4.95. They can be found at other websites at around 0.

Product Reviews: 3 stars out of 5 on e-pinions.com total of 5 reviews. 4 stars out of 5 on amazon.com total of 3 reviews. 5 stars out of 5 on cooking.com with a total of 34 ratings.

Overall the Viking stand mixers compare favorably to household favorites such as KitchenAid, Bosch and Cuisinart. All four brands have intensely loyal users and compare favorably for versatility, stamina and price. If price is an issue for you and you actually want a Viking stand mixer then reconsider the Vsm500. It has a 5 quart bowl and an 800 watt motor. And it sells for about 0 less than the Viking Vsm700. It can do everything the 700 series can do but just a itsybitsy bit smaller batches. If you don't need the huge capacity of the larger mixer then you probably won't miss the 1000 watt motor and the 7 quart mixer bowl.

Stand Mixer Reviews of Kitchenaid, Cuisinart and Viking - Which Brand Is the Best?

If you are looking to buy a stand mixer to complement your kitchen arsenal you need to reconsider durability, warranty and features in order to get the best value for your money.

A durable mixer is one with mostly metal parts and just very few plastic parts. Most of the recipes where you will need a mixer will need the mixer to control for an extended period of time. Plastic parts may deform and even breakdown when the mixer is accumulates heat--and it will procure heat when you use it for a quite a while. Metal parts and housing on the other hand, is very resilient to heat, it will not deform nor breakdown.

Kitchenaid Blender

A flexible kind is one which you can use for a wide range of blending and mixing chores, not just kneading dough. This is where speed settings and adjustable whisks come to consideration. Some mixers may even offer attachments which allows you to use your mixer as a blender, meat processor and pasta maker just to name a few.

In this review, we will take a look at 3 manufactures heavyweights on stand mixer. Kitchenaid, Cuisinart and the Viking brand have been nearby for a quite a while and are quite dominant in the market.

Kitchenaid

Kitchenaid has the widest following among the stand mixers, and for good reason. This stand mixer is found in a lot of kitchens, your grandmother probably had Kitchenaid--it was probably passed on to your mother, which will be passed on to you. This brand of mixer is very durable and has lasted the test of time. Kitchenaid is one of the best, but its claim to the top spot is somewhat contested.

Cuisinart

Not to be outclassed by Kitchenaid, Cuisinart is also one of the heavyweights in the stand mixer arena. It has abundance of models to pick from. If you need serious power, it has a model which packs a qualified 800 watts. Cuisinart's impel is its use of technology. It has a abundance of convenience features which makes your kitchen duties a lot easier and more efficient. For example, it has a countdown timer which auto shuts off when the timer has finished.

Viking

The Viking brand lives up to its name. It's tough, rugged and very durable. Viking did not hide the toughness of their stand mixers inside, they flaunted it. Just looking at the covering of the Viking stand mixer, you can already appreciate that it is built rock solid. It has a 1000 watt motor that beat any tough dough to submission.

Which stand mixer is the best

This is a tough query without an easy answer. If money is not a concern, get a Viking. The Viking is the most qualified of the all three, it is also probably the most durable--not the most flexible though. The Viking brand is for pro chef and the assuredly serious home chef who do not need their mixer to duplicate as a blender or pasta maker. If you need to feed a small nation daily by kneading 6 loaves of bread, the Viking is for you, it is built to withstand cafeteria grade punishment.

If you don't want to spend a fortune on the Viking but still want a sturdy stand mixer, then Kitchen is clearly the winner, it is middle of the road between Cuisinart and the Viking.
