Liebherr Refrigeration

[AdrianUK]

Has anyone any experience with Liebherr refrigeration appliance, specifically fridge freezer.
I am told that Liebherr make the Miele appliances, and also their own models, at considerably less cost. Quick search online does seem to suggest this is the case so wondering what the quality is like in real world. Model for ref is CN4313. Comparing it to a Miele in the store, both were next to each other, it’s clear the inside fittings are exactly the same, is it likely guts and components are also shared between Miele & Liebherr models?
I’ve seen some reviews for Liebherr on trustpilot - more bad than good. However, looking at AO for this model, all good reviews bar 1.

Family member had one, VERY expensive compared to other brands of similar spec, it lasted less than 4 years. My Argos value FF is almost 10 years old. Make of that what you will.

We've got the full height fridge, following a friend recommending as he has the fridge and freezer separate.
Now 8 years old.
Bloody love it.

I have 3 at the moment, from 2013, no problems. The one I had before was 16 years when I moved house. I left it because I lived in Ireland and moved to a hotter country and I believe different climates have different models. They look good, work well and keep on going. My current 3 came from Germany. The shipping was expensive but still much cheaper than buying in Italy.

We inherited a Liebherr fridge freezer when we bought our house. It’s still going strong after 5, going on 6 years.
The freezer has two drawers and holds a surprising amount. I really like it, especially the easy open ‘lever’ handles (which I originally though would become annoying).
I also have a BEKO larder fridge that’s nearly 20 years old and new was a fraction of the price of this one, so it’s not necessarily how much you spend…

We bought a Liebherr CN5113 fridge freezer in August 2012, so it's now 9 years old and has been perfectly reliable, I'd happily buy another.

Another endorsement for Leibherr - an ex member here (eriktheviking) bought one after doing a lot of due diligence checking around various makers, was/is very happy with it.

Seems like we were very unlucky. I was supposed to "inherit" the fridge, shame it didn't last long as someone terminally ill.

I cannot speak for their fridges but Liebherr make some pretty awesome Heavy Plant machines

We have a tall liebherr freezer which must now be about 10 years old. It's still running fine, but the weak spot is the drawers which are not robust enough and most of the drawer fronts are broken. Oh, and the door handle has recently broken too.

Thanks all, with your comments and some additional research online, I’ve ordered one now.
The retailer is local, price is within average of online and big box stores, and chose them as they will waive the delivery charge being local, can deliver next day and have a reasonable reputation locally.
I asked if they could reverse the doors for me, yes they said, for £100. Seriously....hence I declined this offer.
