My Kitchener is shit.
It's a CT2??.
The temperature is set at 9 degrees.
The bottom of the fridge sits around nine. the next shelf up 12, the next one up 12, the nextg one up 16 and the top shelf is currently on 18 due to the fact we are having a cool spell.
There is not a person on this planet that i liked who i would point toward Kitchener.
The doors don't seal and the product is crap.

Not sure that Liebherr are worth the premium either, see below and check out the pics. I'm sure they work well, but I certainly wouldn't pay the so-called 'premium' for them. I've got four fridges. The generic cheapies are just as good as the smelly Vintec.
Brands like this always remind me of a vague memory of a classic Mad magazine picture of a large tank of stuff behind a wall feeding off into three separate taps, labelled cheap, medium and fancy. All coming from the same source. Are there really many 'premium' brands these days?? The BMW and Mercedes forums are so full of major complaints, it makes my Alfa forum look quiet.

Stupid bloody Kitchener CT
A friend looked at the fridge the other day and said i had put my shelves in crooked.
I said no i checked them, but they were on the lean.
On closer inspection today the right angle brackets that hold the shelves up have bent.
Bent so bad that the shelves are each resting on the bottles on the next shelf down.
One of which is so bad there is less than 5mm of contact patch left before there is no more bracket to lean on.
WHAT THE FUCK!
So now i have to empty the fridge, repair and reinforce the brackets while installing a fan to circulate the air so it no longer has hot spots. (The top half of the fridge).
Don't waste your money.
