I am.

I sold a 2-door and a 3-door bottle cooler (both sliding door ones) and had horrendous issues with them to the point where I had to give the customer two of the Interlevin ones.

Amazingly he's happier with the Interlevin ones as they are staying together better.

The main problems we had were with the structure of the units.

As you can see from this picture the cabinets is completely off-square

This caused sticking doors, water leaks, etc.

The manufacturers even replaced the unit and the replacement was worse than the first one.

Anyone else have this sort of trouble or am I alone?

Do they have foot adjustment screws underneath them?

these cabinets use polystyrene slab insulation and have no strength unlike most commercial cabinets that use a 2 part foam that is injected into the cabinet and expands and gives makes it rigid.

new one on me anyway

if you had leveled the cabinet up with the feet or some timber you would of been fine

Thats was just recently tho, foster havent YET messed about with the design of the cabinet.

I do all the service work for GAMKO AND Foster in scotland and iv never came across a situation were the door are not level.

Only real issue with gamko was the absolute rubbish controller they used too use but they solved that problem out
