If you’re experiencing\u00a0signs that your dishwasher is about to break<\/a>, it’s a good idea to quickly begin looking for a replacement unit. While there are no shortage of dishwasher brands and models<\/a> out there to choose from, it’s always worth seeing what customers have to say about specific ones before making a big purchase.\u00a0In that search, you may come across\u00a0Viking, which was rated as\u00a0one of the least reliable dishwasher brands out there by Consumer Reports<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, it’s not just the consumer review site that rates these dishwashers poorly. Numerous customers have come forward through various online platforms to voice their complaints about the brand and its offerings. At well over $1,000 for the cheapest model, these machines are seemingly prone to trouble.\u00a0Users on Reddit have said their Viking dishwasher stopped working at random times, experienced leaks, or broke\u00a0down far sooner than they should’ve. Still another user said their washer refused to stop and changed modes seemingly on its own.<\/p>\n The reviews are not all bad for Viking dishwashers,\u00a0with many buyers discussing perfectly fine, functioning models. Still others\u00a0tout the cleaning abilities of their\u00a0Viking dishwasher. However,\u00a0there are a concerning number of negative user anecdotes, and many users seem to think buying from this brand is a mistake.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n Some of the many one-star\u00a0Best Buy<\/a> customer reviews for the Viking stainless steel dishwasher speak of either average or entirely poor cleaning. One reviewer, Gayle, noted that they have to inspect their dishes even after running them through the Viking just to ensure they’re cleaned properly. At the luxury price point of $2,249, this is undoubtedly cause for concern.<\/p>\n In addition to numerous reviews highlighting shortcomings in Vikings’ build quality, many ConsumerAffairs<\/a> users spoke up about how ineffective their dishwashers were at actually cleaning dishes. One user named\u00a0Heidi shared that smelly water was left in her machine after the cycle failed to clean the dishes.\u00a0Another user,\u00a0Kurt,\u00a0theorized his unit lacked enough water pressure to successfully provide a thorough cleaning.\u00a0<\/p>\n It’s one thing for a cheap, relatively basic dishwasher to quickly break down or miss the mark when cleaning, but Viking presents itself as a high-end, prestige brand. For the thousands of dollars one of its units costs, many seem to agree that the potential headaches and middling performance simply aren’t worth it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
