Best prices on pro-style appliances?

[ScorchedPalate]

Hi all:

Mr. Scorched and I are moving into our new house (two blocks from Harvest Vine ) in January, and we're finally ready to have a 'real' stove again. Can anyone suggest a local source for a good price on Viking ranges?

We'll be buying other appliances, too, but these seem to be easier to price-shop online.

Thanks!

I think the main local vendor of Viking is Albert Lee Appliance, near the Ballard Bridge. Furthermore, I don't think you'll find a big range of prices on new Viking equipment. Used might be another story, though, so check the used sections at Dick's and Seattle Restaurant Store.

Huh, that's interesting. When we bought our last Viking in California, there was a variance of 15% among the local stores.

I found what looks to be a good price at Appliance Gourmet. They have a showroom in Issaquah. I'll see how Albert Lee compares.

Thanks,

~Anita

Okay, that was a total guess on the prices. Clearly I'm wrong.

We've had many clients who've had great service from Monarch Appliances. Not sure if the cost is better.

Check out Direct Buying Service in SoDo. We've purchased several major appliances from them and they've been great to deal with and are very competitive. They can get any brand you're interested in. You should look at Wolf, they are superior when compared to Viking - imho.
