Viking offers several residential range series with meaningfully different designs, feature sets, and price points. If you are considering a Viking range purchase — or trying to understand what you already own — this guide explains the key differences between the Professional Series and Tuscany Series.
Viking Professional Series
The Professional Series is Viking’s flagship residential range line and represents the core of their product lineup. Key characteristics:
- Design: Professional kitchen aesthetic with a commercial-inspired stainless steel finish. Available in multiple widths (30″, 36″, 48″, 60″).
- Burners: Pro sealed burners with outputs designed for both high-BTU searing and precise low-heat simmering. SureSpark continuous re-ignition on select models ensures the burner relights automatically if the flame is extinguished.
- Fuel types: Available as gas, dual-fuel (gas cooktop, electric oven), and all-gas configurations depending on the specific model in the range.
- Oven: Vari-Speed Dual Flow convection oven system in higher-tier models. Self-clean with a motorized door lock (F9 fault relates to this mechanism).
Viking Tuscany Series
The Tuscany Series is Viking’s premium, heritage-design line with a distinctive aesthetic that references European professional range design. Key characteristics:
- Design: Bold color options, porcelain enamel finish on some models, and a heavier-duty overall appearance. Designed to be a visual centerpiece of the kitchen.
- Burners: Viking Elevation Burners with a unique burner grate configuration that creates a natural landing zone for pots and reduces spill cleanup area.
- Width options: Available in 30″, 36″, 48″, and up to 60″ configurations.
- Price: Typically at a premium over the equivalent Professional Series width and configuration due to design complexity and finish options.
Which Series Is Right for You?
For most kitchens, the Professional Series delivers the full Viking cooking experience at a somewhat more accessible price point. The Tuscany Series is the choice if the range is a design statement as much as a cooking tool — its aesthetic is distinctive and unmistakable in a premium kitchen.
From a service perspective, both series use similar oven control architecture (same F-code fault system) and compatible OEM parts. Whichever series you own, our technicians are trained on both and carry genuine Viking OEM parts for the full range lineup.
