Wednesday, April 27, 2011 VISB542SS Viking 42" Professional Series Quiet Cool Side-by-Side Refrigerator/Freezer - Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Although not this exact model, we have a 42" Viking Professional Series Side-by-Side Refrig/Freezer.This is postively the WORST R/F we have ever owned.Whatever is on the top shelf of the refrigerator gets frozen, likewise the produce in the bottom drawer.We had it serviced and were told that all refrigerators other than the Sub Zero have only one compressor, whichmeans they funnel cold air from the freezer to keep things cold in the refrigerator.Regardless of the science, a $7,000 R/F should not have this problem.If you can afford it, buy Sub Zero OR save yourself $$$ and go with GE.

Oh yes, forgot to mention that what galvanized me to write this review is that this morning I heard a crash inside the refrigerator and when I looked inside, one of the in-door shelves had simply broken apart and sent everything crashing--it's 2 years old.

In all fairness, I gave 2 stars b/c it actually does keep things COLD but I would never buy Viking again.
