My Liebherr KTES1840 revised review - now mended

Advantages: Strong constuction, easy to clean, large capacity
Disadvantages: Can't get any service or replies from Liebherr now it is broken

...I bought my Liebherr KTES1840 3 years ago, when we put a new kitchen in. I chose it because it was the largest internal capacity for the size, and it's strong construction. It is stainless steel, not just the door but the sides too. The shelves inside are all glass, so are very hygenic and easy to clean. All the shelves are removable for easy cleaning - absolutely perfect. The fridge has a built in thermometer that tells you the temperature, and can be adjusted. There is a fast cool button to cool down that bottle of wine you forgot to put in for dinner. It was a wonderful fridge but suddenly the food was warm, and it had gone wrong. I initially tried to contact Liebherr but their web site wasn't too helpful if you are not in Germany, Austria or Belgium. I did find a form to fill in to make an enquiry but this wasn...

Liebherr CTNES4653-20 - real kitchen style

Advantages: Excellent value for money, a real stainless steel FF
Disadvantages: Drainage hole sometimes gets blocked

...This is a real stainless steel fridge freezer. I ask you, why on earth don't kitchen appliance shops make it clear which items are real stainless steel and which are nasty sprayed silver things? Anyway, you need have no fear with this item - like all the Liebherr silver coloured things I have ever encountered it is real stainless steel. At a fraction of the normal price. I have had this machine for about 3 years now, and it has responded well to ordinary household use - which means not being defrosted regularly, being stuffed full of food, and generally suffering from benign neglect. I have had no problems except that the drainage hole at the bottom of the fridge (above the vegetable compartment) occasionally gets blocked - a drinking straw pushed down it clears it promptly. People who take more care of their fridge would be less...

Review of Liebherr Cbnes 3857

Wife delighted

Advantages: good looking, efficient
Disadvantages: background noise

...Our previous fridge freezer had been a built in unit and the door seals were unsatisfactory. We went looking for a standalone replacement with a budget in the £300-£400 price band. I did some searching and identified a short list of appliances. We looked around at the usual chain stores likes Curry's but were drawn to a local independent electrical retailer. This is Cantelec in Chelmsford from whom we have made other purchases. It may not be the most glittering of showrooms but the staff are thoroughly knowledgeable about the products they sell. We saw items that were well within budget but were immediately attracted to this Liebherr unit although it was at the top end of our price range. The price was close to the best available on Ciao. We ordered and it was delivered within a couple of days. After a week there was a strange kind...

Review of Liebherr IKP 2850

No Other Appliance Comes Close

Advantages: The Best
Disadvantages: None!!!

...an alarm, so if the temperature rises above a certain point it lets you know. (handy if children leave the door open) The freezer is at the bottom, with 3 draws and as it's the 'N' model that denotes no frost, so, no more defrosting. Included in the freezer are ice cube trays and 2 cold storage accumlators. These,if there is a power failure help prevent the temperature rising too quickly and thus preserving the quality of the food. The fridge itself is huge. It measures 120cms x 66cms. It comes with 4 shelves a bottle rack and 2 fruit/salad containers. There is plenty of room for a large families food. The doors can be taken off and changed round (I did ours and it took me 15 minutes) Liebherr is German, which means the quality and build is excellent. All Liebherr appliances are 'A' rated....

Review of Liebherr KGNVES5066

fridges, mining trucks and cranes

Advantages: industrial strength design
Disadvantages: none especially

...on the web. I checked out reviews on ciao.com of course too. All the steel finished units were generally a)enormous and b)outrageously expensive. How the companies could charge so much extra for NOT putting on an extra layer of plastic I dont know. I came across the liebherr range on the web having seen some in use in a restaurant. If it worked in a restaurant then chances are it would be reliable. Why get a fake industrial looking unit when you can have the real thing. I looked on the web at the libeherr web page and found to my suprise that this German company actually manufactured enormous cranes and huge mining trucks. Incongrously they also manufactured domestic and commercial fridges. I thought that any company that could make one of the biggest cranes in the world could probably make a fairly decent fridge. I found a model on the web...

Review of Liebherr KTES1744 Fridges with Ice Box

Leonard Liebherr.

Advantages: Spacious, well-designed fridge with additional compartments which keep food at optimum temperature and humidity.
Disadvantages: Very minor niggles about one shelf and I suspect two of the drawers might not last as long as the fidge.

Redhill Appalling Delivery Service

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Very poor delivery service

...it standing for a few hours". Not happy with this I phoned Liebherr technical support - they were appalled to learn that it had been transported in a horizontal position and said it could lead to permanent damage to the workings of the refrigeration unit. They advised leaving it upright for at least 24 hours before switching on; a few hours would not be sufficient. The following day I phoned Redhill and was told the delivery charge of £1 covers doorstep delivery only; - warning READ the SMALL PRINT. When I mentioned the horizontal delivery I got a most off-hand reply, he said they only had a couple of vans that could transport tall freezers vertically so "hard luck". With this attitude to supplying equipment I would NEVER recommend them....
