My old Viking finally died after 20 years.
Bought a Samsung, the one rated #1 by Consumer Reports.
Excellent piece of gear.
I'm glad you're pleased with your Samsung. One must be careful these days buying appliances or any other items having potential environmental impacts based on ratings from Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports has become very politically correct and will often rate inferior products very highly simply because they have minimal environmental impact. It's often more advisable to rely on the consumer reviews of the products rather than the CR reviews.
Whatever you do, don’t buy a Samsung refrigerator. We bought one and had problems with the ice maker right from the start. Towards the end of the one year warranty period, I filed a claim demanding a full refund. Samsung refused and tried three times to repair it.
The very nice salesperson at Sears said she never heard of Samsung taking an appliance back. After making a couple of calls to Samsung and moving a couple of steps up the food chain, I convinced them that I’d file a lawsuit for consumer fraud. Told them I would not need to hire an attorney and would demand a jury trial; and that they’d lose and likely have to pay punitive damages.
Also, told them they’s have to pay at least double the amount just to get an attorney to show up and defend them; that was before discovery, and that could get very expensive real fast.
They over-nighted a check in the full amount, including taxes and said to just keep the old unit which we donated to a charity.
