Viking Range is world renowned for its commercial quality home grills. The founder, Fred Carl, had a dream of owning a commercial grilling station in his home, but at the time, this kind of hybrid machine did not exist. He stayed up night after night, planning and designing, and finally came up with the prototype on which Viking is based: A professional grade grill fit for a master chef, but in the safety, comfort and price range for home use. Those late nights of dedicated innovation are what has made Viking the company to beat in the barbecue, and now, home appliance market. Aside from their top-notch grills, Viking now manufactures high end refrigerators, garbage disposals, dishwashers, countertop wet bars, stainless steel cabinetry, cutlery, toasters, blenders, and of course, Viking ice machines.

Viking ice makers have the same professional, long-lasting infrastructure as all of their products, featuring a simple, clean and elegant design. They offer three different models, but the differences between them are purely aesthetic, as each one has the same capacity, storage and output. All three Viking ice makers can make up to thirty five pounds of ice per day, and they have a unique replenishing system that's exclusive to Viking Range. The way it works is that the ice makers have a special draining process that melts away older ice cubes so that they don't become stagnant, so you always have fresh, crystal clear ice cubes every single scoop. This is a revolutionary design in freshness that no other ice maker company offers, and reflects how Viking goes the extra mile with all their products, not just their grills.

The Viking Professional Series VUIM Ice Machine is an under-the-counter or free-standing ice maker that is available in both indoor and outdoor models, perfect for wherever you host parties. Whether free-standing or built-in, however, there must be a water and drainage line permanently hooked up. The VUIM has a more industrial, professional look, with a full length handle that runs from top to bottom, and the classic Viking stainless steel design. It also stores the entire amount of ice that it makes, which is unheard of with most other ice makers, as they only store a small fraction of the ice they actually produce. No matter how big your family, or how large your party, the Viking VUIM Ice Machine can handle it with style!

The Viking Designer Series DUIM Ice Machine has exactly the same specifications and features of the VUIM, but has a more minimalist style. Looking more like a "home" appliance as opposed to one in a restaurant kitchen, the DUIM is a great combination of commercial power with a kitchen look. The Viking logo and the handle are downsized and the venting is more subtle.

Finally, the Viking Designer Series DFIM Ice Machine takes the functionality of the VUIM and DUIM and adds the option of a customizable front, so that you can still have thirty five pounds of restaurant-quality ice per day, but your cabinets can have a seamless look with a custom matched skin for the DFIM's door. There is not a single bad choice when you go with a Viking ice maker. The only decision you have to make is which beautiful style is best suited for you.
