    7 Series: Top-of-the-Line

    Viking’s 7 Series collection features luxury ranges, premium refrigerators, and more. This series is restaurant-grade, ready for professional cooks, but that doesn’t mean it’s only for the experts. To have a Viking 7 Series range in your home means you have the option to cook with gas or dual fuel ranges, and you can choose to use a grill or griddle for those grilled cheese sandwich cravings. Sautée your sauces to perfection with a Viking range that provides precise temperature control. At dinner parties, impress guests with this top-of-the-line luxury range.

    This collection also features French-door ovens for optimal convenience and proven commercial technology. This configuration allows you to easily open both the oven doors with one hand while you balance trays of delicious food. Meanwhile, Dual Flow Convection optimizes airflow for extreme fluffiness and has an ultra-large convection fan.

    5 Series: Middle-Road

    The 5 Series collection is Viking’s middle-road luxury line. That being said, this collection starts at $2,500 and is considered a “Professional Style” lineup. If you consider yourself a baker, this 5 Series range can now fit a commercial-size baking pan for all your cookie endeavors. Also, the oven doors are 20 percent larger than competitors and allow for the best visibility on the market.

    The 5 Series also offers professional Viking microwaves. Choose between an extra-large capacity (2.0 cubic feet) standard microwave or combine it with the powerful convection option. Viking provides users with under-counter microwaves that tuck seamlessly under islands, beneath wall ovens, or under a counter. Or you can invest in a combination convection and speed oven that can be installed flush to your cabinetry.

    3 Series: Entry Level

    The Viking 3 Series collection was born from the professional line with standard sizes and a touch of sleek style. In Viking’s 5 and 7 Series, you’ll find configurations that fit a professional kitchen, but its entry-level collection includes standard sizes that fit in most residential kitchens. Choose a gas, dual fuel, or electric freestanding range that harnesses the power of the Viking Professional range into a 30-inch-wide unit.

    Shop Viking's 3 Series Collection

    Choose a Viking 3 Series dishwasher that features turbo-fan drying technology and an exclusive FullSize rack for larger utensils. Also, Viking dishwashers will clean your plates while staying virtually silent. With 42 dBAs, three layers of durable dishwasher walls will never disturb dinner party conversations.

    Viking Tuscany Series

In addition to sophisticated style, this series features high-performance burners for all ranges that give you a gentle simmer with 20,000 BTUs. If the Cast Black finish doesn’t quite fit your kitchen’s elegant style, you are able to customize the colors of any of the Tuscany appliances with 15 finish options.
