Viking Range Corporation is best known for its professional line of commercial ranges produced for home use. In fact, they have a full line of professional kitchen appliances that can be found in many upscale homes, including: built-in ovens, warming drawers, dishwashers, trash compactors, food waste disposers, refrigerators, freezers, wine cellars, and a whole line of outdoor products that includes stainless steel grills, ovens, refrigeration and cabinets.
In 2002, Viking Corporation expanded its product line to include premium culinary products including cookware, cutlery, and countertop appliances. Within countertop appliances, Viking stand mixers are one of their best sellers.
Stand mixers come in two models; the Viking VMS500 professional series and the Viking VSM700 professional series.
VMS500 – Viking 5qt Stand Mixer has 800 watts of power and a 5-quart mixing bowl
VMS700 – Viking 7qt Stand Mixer has 1000 watts of power and a 7-quart mixing bowl.
Characteristic:
Both come with stainless steel mixing bowl, V-beater, whisk and dough hook. And they’re dishwasher safe, making cleanup a breeze.
Planetary mixing action is achieved by turning the beater clockwise and the shaft turning counterclockwise. This combination helps the dough to incorporate better and there is less need to scrape.
Easy Glide rear wheels make it easy to move the mixer around the countertop.
The tilt-back construction allows the mixer attachments to be easily raised and lowered into the bowl and can be locked in the up or down position. The accessories are located on top of the container so that the drips fall into the container and not on the counter.
Warranty: Viking warrants the engine and parts for a full 12 months
Colors: White, Black, Stainless Gray and Brilliant Red.
The Viking 5-Quart Stand Mixer is large enough for most avid cooks. It can handle up to 13½ cups of flour or 6 pounds of cake mix. If you need something a little bigger, you’ll want to upgrade to the 7-quart mixer. Holds 16 1/2 cups of flour or 10 pounds of cake mix.
Whichever model you choose, you can’t go wrong with a Viking stand mixer. They provide heavy-duty performance, are reliable and easy to care for.
