Product Description
This high speed blender processes anything in a minute. It has a rugged, high-torque motor engineered for commercial use, and an electronic mixing sensor that maintains a smooth and continuous speed. Additionally it features cyclonic blending action due to optimized carafe and blade shape. You can add stuff while it's blending if you like and the jar and blade assembly come apart for easy cleaning. Finally this blender fits easily under standard height cabinets.

 Broke During First Use August 11, 2008
K. Marwong (San Jose, CA USA)
This Viking blender stopped working after one use. I was making a smoothie with 5 ice cubes and no other frozen items. After one use, the motor ceased to work. At first I thought the motor overheated; so I let the machine rest. I tried turning on the machine again, but this time the knob sheared off. I do not recommend this Viking blender to anyone.
 plastic moving parts wear out June 25, 2008

The connection between the blade assembly and the motor unit is made out of plastic and thus quickly wears out. A new blade assembly, again made out of the same plastic, costs $20 + shipping. If you turn this machine on once a day then you'll be going through at least one blade assembly per year. I should've bought a Waring.
Powerful but poorly packaged February 24, 2008

The rotary switch obviously got something in it, because it takes all my considerable strength to turn (hold everything tight, lest you toss your blender and contents on the floor). This was a nice concept very poorly executed.
Great while it lasts February 4, 2008

I wish I could recommend this made in the USA product but we don't always make long lasting products. This blender does perform great as long as you don't break any of the parts. OK, there really is only one part to break, the blade. I've broken it twice in the two years that I've owned it. Once by accidentally dropping it on my stone tile floor, the other time by just using it. That's right, it's supposed to crush ice easily, but I've never tested it with ice, just frozen fruit in very moderate quantities. The plastic holder for the blade still gave up. I'm going to get something more sturdy this time. The engine started giving off too much burning odor anyway and that just for making smoothies twice a week. Not good.
Professional- NOT!!! July 7, 2007

The label on the machne advertises it as being a Professional appliance. When you look underneath the machine, it states that it is for home use only. And it isn't even good enough for that.... The plastic gears between the motor and the blender blade easily strip. Viking should be ashamed to put its name on this piece of scrap. Get the top of the line Oster, with metal drive gears, and save yourself $$$.
