Themador Wall Combo vs Viking Steam Convection Oven
Comments (7)Thank you both for your thoughts. I think you are right. Black and stainless look really nice together and the wall oven does go with the cooktop. I am trying not to test my husband's generosity by going overboard and trying to be sensitive to his needs (even if he really NEVER cooks!) because he likes the look of stainless. We have a 25% chance of the Thermador having problems, but I guess that is the chance we can take. The appliance store will fully warranty it for 5 years for $29. It seems like a good compromise to get such a nice unit for the money. I spent the last several days researching lots of brands and just getting a micro/wall oven combo (Bosch, GR profile or Electrolux) is going to be 3k. I almost sprang for it, but it is just hard to justify. I think I am going to just do this and move on to the next decision, like our countertops. We found incredible custom cabinets on Craigslist that were built 3 years ago by a cabinetmaker and removed by the new owners. We only paid $1,500 and they are all wood construction with dovetailed drawers. So this savings is going to allow me to do a really nice remodel for a reasonable $25,000, which in our neighborhood is all we really should spend to keep our investment. Thank you! I am calling with my credit card this morning to just go ahead and buy the Thermador and keep my fingers crossed that it works. :)...See MoreShow me your Blue Star Double French Door Ovens

Comments (11)I went back and checked price compared to other induction tops. It's definitely more expensive and we lose the savings we get with the Thermador promotion. Might go with the regular 5 or 4 burner depending on if we add the wolf modular gas unit. I did see the earlier reports of reliability issues as well as recent comments that have said it has improved. But, I'm not sure it's worth the hefty price tag. We loved it when we tested it though. Will look more closely at Wolf and Miele. There goes our promotion package! We do need to find something that will allow us to use two burners for our griddle which we use a lot and it be cooked evenly....See MoreReview of the Viking French door double wall oven? FLOOR MODEL
Comments (23)I have been fighting with Viking over their French Door Wall oven since the middle of 2022! Steam and smoke escape from between the French doors. My cabinetry above gets soaking wet from the steam, and black from the smoke. The control panel gets so hot that I need oven mitts to turn the dials. Viking has sent out repairmen 7 times changing out screws and gaskets, obviously stringing me along while knowing their product is defective. The service workers that came out the last few times said that Viking had a problem with this model, and that they were working on it. The last repairman said it was a fire hazard. I was sent a new venting type apparatus a year ago that couldn’t be installed because i was told Viking still needed to develop another new part to go with it. At the end of last year they sent me replacement French doors. Servicemen came to install the door last Monday, but they wanted me to sign a waiver that if they damaged by cabinetry that they wouldn’t be liable. Viking also refused to be liable. They told me I’d have to hire my own people to remove the oven so it could be repaired, then re-install it. So not only does Viking sell inferior products, their customer service leaves a lot to be desired. I’m contact the Better Business Bureau next. By the way, the stand alone freezer I purchased from them also needed to be replaced....See Moreyarosman
