Viking 1+, Designer 1, Des SE, Diamond

by Shirley
(Michigan)

I have owned a Viking 1+ bought in 1997, A Designer 1 bought in 1993, Designer SE bought in 1997, and Designer Diamond bought in 2008. The Viking 1+ I just gave to my 25 year old granddaughter (Works beautiful). The other three machines worked beautiful.

I still have the Designer SE and the Diamond. They are both working wonderful and have never had any trouble with either of them. Friends that own Vikings and have had a problem with them, the company has resolved their issues in a timely manner and to the customers satisfaction.

The independent dealers who sell Viking sewing machines can do anything they want and some of them can lose customers very fast. I deal with a company owned store and believe me, they are terrific. I would never own any other brand of sewing machine.

Viking, Designer1, and Designer SE
by: Anonymous

hi, I have had a Rose, 1 Plus, Designer, Designer SE,,,,and traded up, then got a commercial embroidery machine. I promised myself when I bought the commercial machine, I would sale my Designer SE...I sold her three months ago...and that was the worst than I believe I have done. They are the most dependable and easy to learn machine. I will be looking for another Designer SE as a sewing machine and back up. I did have a problem with the Designer when they first came out, but the company made everything alright. They stand behind there product. May sure you have a wonderful dealer, cause I sure did...

Viking Diamond and SEL
by: Jane Alford

I love both machines. The Viking Diamond is so large I only use it at home. The SEL is perfect to carry to friends homes for a sew day. Can't say enough good things about both machines.

You have to find a good dealer for service. I bought them at one dealer and he used super glue on my Diamond to repair a part. Not good. It also didn't sew right after it was serviced. I took it to another dealer and paid to have it reserviced. Worth every penny I paid to have my machine fixed.

My Viking SEL is may favorite. Viking customer service is not good to work with. They need to revamp their staff. Not people friendly. I also have a Viking serger that I love.
