I just purchased this mixer and so far I love it! I own a small bakery, and my other two stand mixers, a Kitchenaid Pro-600 and the Cuisinart 7-quart, both had issues. For some reason the powers that be at Kitchenaid made the attachments out of a metal that cannot go in the dishwater, or it turns black. One of the dumbest ideas ever..and the Cuisinart was starting to make funny noises and the tilt head no longer stayed all the way down..we have to hold it down. So I bought the Viking, even though the biggest negative was the noise of the motor and "mixer noise" from the constant use of mixers often gives me a headache. What noise? The Viking is MUCH quieter than either the Kitchaid or the Cuisinart..we couldn't believe it after reading the reviews. So far it works great, and we really put our mixers to the test. We'll see how it holds up in a month or so, but it is the quietest mixer I've ever owned.

Purchased this mixer for baking bread, especially bagels, with the odd batch of cookies thrown in. I had read about the Kitchen Aid's problems with plastic gearing, and figured the Viking's 1000 Watts could stand up to single batches of bread. I couldn't have been more wrong -- it took a single batch of bagels (about 7 cups of flour) to kill this machine. Granted, bagels are about as tough a workout as you can get while kneading bread, and had the machine simply cut off under the stress of mixing, rather than dying under the strain, I would have continued to use the mixer to start recipes while finishing them by hand. However, several months out of the box and I had to send it in to their service center in Detroit. Out of my hands for 6 weeks, I get the machine back, use it for a couple of batches of cookies and pizza dough, which it does serviceably well, before it chokes again on another batch of bread. The motor just groans at me when I turn the dial. Now, out of warranty, I'm left with a $600 stainless steel hulk of a machine that just isn't worth fixing until its next inevitable breakdown. Desperately I search for a suitable location to mount this to my wall... "Ceci ce n'est pas une mixer".

After much research in December 2004, I purchased the Viking 7-qt. mixer. The Viking VSM-700 was well made - all metal parts;it was powerful enough to handle heavy doughs. I decided on the 7-qt. model after e-mailing Viking's customer service. They were very responsive and answered all my questions; if their commitment to service has changed in the last 4 1/2 years, that is a real shame.
Customer service said the 5-qt. model was their recommendation for someone who wanted a mixer for everyday use or who only made one loaf of bread at a time. However, since I was interested in making artisan breads, two loaves at a time, and bagels, they recommended the 7-qt., 1000 watt model. The bowl is very deep, so if you are making something in a small batch, there may be problems getting everything off the bottom. I would recommend buying a beater blade to help solve this issue - I bought one and it does the trick.
This is an expensive mixer, but I believe well worth the money. Although I bought the mixer, intending to save money, I'm not sure I have done so. After purchasing the mixer and numerous books, and after 4 1/2 years, I calculate I have finally amortized the cost of a loaf of homebaked bread to single digits.
That being said, I am thrilled with the performance and durability of my Viking mixer. It performs in a workmanlike manner, handling even bagel dough made with high gluten flour with ease. It does not bog down or struggle to mix even the heaviest doughs. I average 3 batches of artisan breads (2 loaf recipes) per week; one batch of bagels per month; and a batch of oatmeal, chocolate-chip cookies biweekly. As you can see, this machine gets a real workout.
My only warning to those considering purchasing this mixer is that it is noisy. Since I have nothing to compare it with, this may be a standard for the 1000 watt mixer. If you are serious about home-baking, don't let this criticism scare you away from the best mixer made.

A motor this size is going to mix anything! Everything I have mixed in the Viking so far has been blended to perfection. After working at one of the best reviewed bakeries as a pastry chef, I knew I would need one of these for my home. The motor is more noticeable at home than in the bakery, but I don't mix all day long and it doesn't wake my daughter. I would recommend this mixer to anyone who takes pride in what comes out of their kitchen, whether for commercial purposes or serving friends and family.

This is a great product. It has the capacity and power to mix enough dough for double loaves, and the stand mixer design allows the head to be tilted back out of the way for easy access to the mixing bowl.
