Great Cooktop, Poor Customer Service
By Lily Winston
Great performance, although a bit pricey. Really puts out the BTUs as advertised and the adjustments are very fine.However, the right rear ignition module went out after NINE days, but warranty is covering it. Clean up of the stainless steel is also difficult, so you have to clean up after cooking every day right after the grates and burners cool. If you have guests over late, make sure to clean up somewhat before going to bed. The stainless steel is beautiful, but delicate in terms of scratching.Customer service is poor and using the website to register your product is even worse. TIP: get the Serial and exact Model Number of your cooktop from the installer (located on the right bottom of the burner box), otherwise some of the warranty stations don't want to talk with you. Have your purchase invoice with proof of payment ready, otherwise you may end up being billed. I was lucky that the warranty provider sent someone out who got the SN and MN for me when he checked out the unit. I was told to photocopy the purchase invoice and credit card receipt for the serviceman when he returns with a new ignition module later this week, or I have to pay myself. They need all of this from the customer per Viking. My dealer (who sells Viking but is not a warranty station) failed to note the correct model number on the invoice and failed completely to list the serial number.My friend has a Wolf 36" five burner cooktop and has had no problems. I am building a new home and will probably go with Wolf. I chose Viking because it is the only one which was low enough in the burner box to fit my counter-oven configuration. Love the Viking performance, but also need friendly customer service given the price tag of these units.
