Fuck Viking, they cost an arm and a leg. Fridge is just a blox with cold air. Nothing complicated.



Alex, it's also something you have to look at day in and day out in your own home, so it might as well look stealth. I think Fiendgirl's husband has dough. He can afford it. She may have to put out more. I think that's what my mom did.


Whats with the look stealth? The $440 fridge that I got was offered in 3 colors: white, beige and black. If you want then they can get a black one for like $30 extra. When I was in the Sears store picking out the fridge, all they had was fridges from $440 to $1,800. The $1,800 fridge externaly looked exactly like the $1,300 fridge, maybe it had somekind of a gadget inside that you dont really need or will only use 3-5 times in your life. For $1,600 you could get the Sears' Pro line built-in fridge (left and right unit) with around 38 cubic feet of capacity, which is enough to stock 2-3 humans in it (just to reference the capacity ).

I just googled the Viking fridge and they seem to sell at $5,200-$5,400, for this price I can buy (if I have enough room) 10 $440 fridges with tax already calculated-in, and get 206 cubic feet of storage space. It is true that the Viking is better built than the consumer brands that you can find in Sears, but this does not mean that that Sears units are crappy, poorly-assembled or will break soon.

I can definatly see some pro chef using the Viking appliances, but for a regular consumer this is too overboard. A lot of people can't cook really good, so even if they get a Viking appliance their cooking won't improve and the food will be just as shitty as it used to be. Most of the Americans (as well as the rest of the people) are fucking dumb when it comes to buying things, and fail to distinguish that 'need' and 'want' are 2 different things.
