Viking

My husband bought me the Viking 5Qt stand mixer for Christmas as I do a lot of baking. I can not begin to tell you how Wonderful this mixer is! I have used it just about every day for making breads to pie doughs, cookies etc. And with Zappos' next day shipping it was even better. I did not have to wait until Christmas. I used it Christmas Day to whip my sweet potatoes and do my pie crust. I love it! The red is a beautiful color! My husband thinks it is an awesome power tool for the kitchen!

This thing is awesome! It blends smoothly and very quickly. You can tell the motor is powerful. It works on more than liquids too. I have made blended soups, guacamole (with the blender attachment) and the smoothest mashed potatoes. It takes less than a minute to blend each (30 seconds for soup) and I have had no issues with lumps at all. The only minor drawback is that it is loud, but that is to be expected with a powerful motor. It is still quieter than my traditional standing blender. It is also easier to clean than I expected. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the Viking hand blender. I am not one to spend money on non essentials, but this one has proved its worth.

Larger than I expected. Make sure you really want a mixer this large before you order this size. Other than that, I really like this. Seems much more powerful than my previous kitchen aid.

I hate to write a bad review, but I feel obligated. My husband bought me this mixer 5 years ago. After he bought it I looked at reviews and it didn't look good, but I kept it anyways. I should have listened. The Viking has not been able to handle the amount of bread dough a Bosch can handle. It has more watts but maybe the design doesn't work with that many watts...I don't know. The piece where the blender sits broke a few months ago. And last night I was making cookies and it's now making a terrible noise. I don't dare use it anymore. So sad to say, we may need to drop another chunk of change on a Bosch.

I like everything about this powerful hand mixer, including the price and color (red). This is the first small size mixer I have had in years. This little lightweight machine is super powerful! I am now able to put my Kitchen Aid away (free up counter space). I highly recommend this item.

Holy cow... these pots are the best in the business. Viking continuously impresses with both style and durability. These are top notch high quality cookware items. They're comfortable, easy to use, and wash easily. Don't put in the dishwasher... hand wash these bad boys. You'll be glad you did.

I'm very pleased that I stumbled upon this product and decided to go for it. It is a quality product and worth the money. If you enjoy baking and love to search for the perfect recipe... if you think about every last detail and take pride in your creations...you really should buy this! Why not make mixing a breeze? Treat yourself!

This unit gets an A+ for power. It even breezed through my bagel dough. I like a low hydration bagel dough which is extraordinarily tough and the Viking was not phased by it. My KA Pro600 always smells and feels hot after a session with bagel dough. The tilt top latches in place with a hook over bar mechanism. Very sturdy, but does not provide for a close tolerance when hooked in place. There is a bit of play which allows for a gap between the beater or dough hook and bottom of the bowl. Frankly that is a bit annoying to find some dry unmixed ingredients at the bottom of the bowl. You can involve all the ingredients by exerting some downward pressure on the tilt head but design could be improved here. The dough hook is pretty average for this size mixer. It does not do a great job of pushing the dough down during mixing, dough tends to ball up and stay on the hook. A few scrape downs during kneading takes care of this. In fairness, good dough hook functionality tends to start at 6 qt capacity and above so not really apples to apples comparison to my KA. I like the turn knob for on/off/power adjustment settings better than the slide bar on KA. Overall design is fine and I am glad to have it. Knowing what I do now I would buy it again.

Have been looking for a new hand mixer but have not been happy with any that I had found. They either were not powerful enough or too loud. I am very pleased with this mixer. It is powerful without being too noisy. The beaters are more substantial than most as well.

For last three years,thrown away three hand mixers because of poor quality, burned-out motor, and flimsy attachments. The Viking VHMD is a great quality hand mixer, powerful and well-made (although not U.S.A).

This is the best mixer ever, even beats my stand up mixer. It is lightweight and does the best job. I am a frequent baker but have used it for whipped potatoes and whipped cream and it was great. Could not be more pleased with a kitchen appliance.

I use my mixer quite a bit - almost once a day. My old Cuisinart just did not have the power to keep up with the jobs I used it for. This Viking seems to be powerful and I love the 9 settings. So far, a thumbs up!

I am enjoying the Viking VHB300 Hand Blender. The only thing I am disappointed with is that it is very difficult to detach the parts from the main (motor) section.

Little pricier and heavier than other hand mixers, but powerful and worth it. I would recommend it. Love the retractable cord!

This is the best kitchen gift I've given myself. Making my favorite banana, strawberry, blueberry smoothie use to be a pain in the neck with my standard blender. So much to clean and lug out of storage. Now, I zip everything into the beaker that comes with it and in a flash I'm done and everything is washed and put away in one of my kitchen drawers. I also use it to semi-puree my Weight Watcher's Garden Vegetable Soup. Perfect! It was more expensive than others I tried but worth every penny and with Zappos' great delivery I was using it within the day.

Bought this mixer over Christmas, right after my KA melted a gear. I don't use it a lot but when I have used it, it's had plenty of power. Hasn't really let me down. However, I do wish it would do a better job getting to the bottom of the mixing bowl. As far as the overall design, it's a quarter of an inch from the bottom of the bowl from being just about perfect.

I was very happy with this purchase until I start using it. The second time I used this mixer some little piece just come out and my mixer start making a grinding noise. I call Zappos and got very disappointed when they told me they're 365 days return policy wasn't valid for this and I had to call viking to get my mixer repaired, not replaced, repaired really after not even a week they could not replacing it and that means I have to wait god know how long until I get it back so I can use it. I will let you decide what to do. Whatsoever we purchase this mixer because it said it's very good for bread making and the the first bread we were trying to make it didn't work.

After typing a nice response I was unable to send it because an error message from you appeared, I called the toll free number and they were unable to help me send it.

This was my first experience buying online. What a delight! The Viking was delivered in one day during Christmas week. We replaced our Kitchen Aid mixer because it constantly overheated from making bread dough. We were looking for a powerful high wattage mixer, this unit certainly meets our needs. We can make multiple batches of dough and the unit doesn't even get warm. Stop looking and buy the Viking.
