Not all parts guaranteed
216L Top Mount Retro Style CRTM213B (Black)One plastic internal shelf has broken and can't be used. A smaller one has already a new crack. I asked if I could get a replacement shelf. Good Guys Ballarat said its not covered by warantee (1 month after purchasing) and they can't order a replacement part.

Great little Fridge
216L Top Mount Retro Style CRTM213B (Black)We have this fridge in a holiday appt - so it does not get a hard workout. A few bits of cheese, some frozen meals, wine, - did I say it comes with a wine rack? We have never had any issues, keeps all things at the right temp and the freezer is a reasonable size for such a small model. The only down side is that the door cannot be altered to open from the opposite side - but as it is so small, going around is not really a problem. Good looking little retro number to boot. Very happy.

The first one failed -Check on installation with a thermometer to be sure yours isn't a lemon.
216L Top Mount Retro Style CRTM213B (Black)Update- we received a replacement fridge via The Good Guys, thankfully we had a very helpful representative started in our local store and she over saw the replacement issues we had previously.
A year later the new fridge is working very well, we just had a lemon to start with.
We received this beautiful BLACK fridge that looks similar to the other brand with 4 letters that is high quality... that's where the similarities end.
Fridge is unable to hold temperatures above about 2-4 degrees in the freezer and the fridge section is running at ab

The Good Guys after sales service has been frustrating and if this is your only working fridge then you are going to be up to your arms in gastro by the time you get the fridge assessed and replaced. At the moment The Good Guys are wanting to fix our 1 week old fridge... we'd prefer a replacement but a working fridge would be a good second. Don't buy these fridges unless you want a nightmare experience at getting it looked at and possibly? replaced within the first few weeks of ownership. We should have just gone with the more expensive brandname and left this chinese brand on the shelf. We are less than impressed with our toe dip into the cheaper end of the market, & The Good Guys...never again. Thanks, but no thanks
Questions & Answers
2 queries: 1. Are you meant to peel off the side sticky? My fridge after delivery had a small hole in the right side sticky and so I pulled it and then had to keep going but it wasn’t the same as the delivery sticky on the front panels. Now the right side panel is not as bright red as the other panels. Anyone else had this problem? 2. Can’t fit 2 wine bottles in the wine rack. Only 1 fits in and then can’t get another 9ne in the se one slot….
Morning Sara, thank you for bringing this to our attention. Please email the fault, photos of the issues, a copy of your proof of purchase, your phone number/s and the address where the fridge is and attention the email to Management: [email protected]
Management at ChiQ advised to peel off both sides’ plastic film.
And I can fit 2 standard size wine bottles, I was trying for a champagne size.
So very happy with the fridge. Looks cool and works well. Alex at ChiQ was fast with a helpful response.
Afternoon Sara, thank you kindly for the feedback. This has also been forwarded to Management. We hope you enjoy the new unit.
Hello I would like some feedback on this fridge as I am thinking of purchasing one thanks

Great that the Good Guys came to the party after your negative review. I was considering purchasing one of these very fridges, until I read your review. So in the end, did you get the same retro fridge replaced with a new one which works well?? or did you opt for something completely different?
