Why do you say they have problems lately? I have 5 Vikings and am not having, nor have had any problems with any of them. My Viking dealer has been very good to me. I have a Diamond and wouldn't trade it for all the sewing machines on Earth.
I would also be interested in this.
Last weekend my dealer totally discouraged me from looking at a Janome and told me that the Viking was what I wanted. However, I do have concerns about the ownership changes with Viking and if there will be any impact on quality.
(Went to another dealer to look at the Janome and was VERY impressed.)
I know nothing about Janome, as there isn't a dealer near me. I have Designer I from over 10 years ago up to my Diamond from last spring. I take my machines in yearly for routine maintenance, have had a couple issues over the years with bobbin winder on the D1 which they repaired no charge. The board went bad on my SE and again was repaired no charge. These are things that can go wrong with any machine. My Topaz has never had any problem. I feel I have gotten excellent service from my dealer and the online support from Husqvarna Viking regarding updates, any questions regarding operation of the machine, etc. have been excellent.
