A wonderful front loader with adjustable timer if you are in a hurry or if your clothes need extra cleaning. Quiet and economical. Great value.

If you use the One Touch Button the machine goes for over 1 hour, which seems excessive and using lots of water. The spin on the machine is not very… Read more

effective, clothes come out quite damp (not good in winter for drying). If you put in a full load the clothes come out in a knotted pile (no agitator). If I had my time over again I would not buy this machine.

Would never buy another chiq tv and would advise against it. Woefully under resourced so the android tv experience is so so bad it drives you nuts. Super laggy and you have to press the remote buttons extremely hard to try and get a response.

Chiq 24" tv model L24D6CG Purchased this TV in January 2026 for the purpose of using it in our caravan, which on the Chiq website says PERFECT for… Read more

caravans.

Immediately I noticed the sound was very low, I could put it up between 1-100 but after 50, which is far too low to listen to comfortably, putting volume up to 100 made no difference

I contacted Chiq who advised to send through a video, which I did.

I received an email back stating "Management has advised the same thing as before; they recommend a sound bar or speaker since the unit is a very small compact TV it doesn’t have the capacity to produce more sound."

Unfortunately this TV is not fit for purpose as Chiq doesn’t state it is recommended to purchase a sound bar or speaker because the tv doesn’t have to capacity to produce more sound.

Chiq website states "Take your entertainment anywhere with CHiQ 24" Portable HD GOOGLE TV, PERFECT for caravans, boats, trucks, and motorhomes!"

Because the manufacturer has refused to accept my warranty for faulty goods, and not fit for purpose under Australian law, I’ve had to lodge a claim with Fair Trading

I do not recommend this tv especially for a caravan as it doesn’t have the capacity to produce more sound.

spacious and comfortable. Love the way they built the ice cube container with 2 holes so it's easy to pickup. They have thought through all the little conveniences and designed the fridge.

Very good value – I purchased this brand washer nearly 12 months ago on back of having purchased a Chiq TV the best part of 5 years ago and still today in perfect… Read more

working order and great picture quality. In 12 months machine has been faultless and best of all has proven to be less of a mover n shaker than the preceding LG n Samsung washers it replaced. I definitely put the quietness and smooth operation even on spin cycle at 1400 down to the 4 stabilizers. Very decent machine for the price point. Hope this review helps

Edit/Update : After just over 2 years of service the machine has developed a issue. On the spin cycle it would now appear it has a drum bearing failing. I have since called Chiq and was asked over the phone to email them a copy of purchase receipt, personal details and short detail on the issue with machine. Was told somebody would get back to me so i await patiently for that to happen. Will keep updating this review to assist others when deciding if purchasing this brand or not is for them especially if the warranty is at front of mind of there decision.

Update re warranty. A lady from Chiq was very helpful in regards to my warranty issue and seen to it everything was managed in a very efficient manner. Thank you very much L****e i apprecaite all your assistance.

Poorly made fridge, broke down under warranty the first time with the freezer being too cold and the fridge not cooling now its doing it again but it… Read more

is outside of warranty. Fridges are meant to last more than 6 years. This fridge has never been overfilled and basically just get used by a two person household. This issue is obviously a common one and a known one by the manufacturer. Not sure if their quality has improved or they still only make things to last the duration of their warranty I will be investigating this further as consumers should not be taken advantage of if they are not in the financial position to spend big on whitegoods

for him to write a report that chiq used as an assessment. Got a replacement fridge in 2023, this has also now stopped working. Big name electrical store now scrambling to fix. 3 days with no fridge and according to the store chiq will reimburse me hundreds of dollars for lost food. I hope chiq realises what I've been promised. Store organising replacement with the chiq rep. Absolutely so disappointed that you sell a product that doesn't even last for 3 years.

was replaced under warranty. Now most of shelves are craked. Handle is broken. Pretty Pathetic product. quality I rang customer service, and I was told we are very busy and to send email. I received reply that shelves and handles are not covered under 5 years parts and labour warranty and have to purchase parts. I have launched a complain to consumer affairs.

We've had the fridge for about 6 months and chose this one as it's one of the few fridge-only options that fit in the space we had with a good energy… Read more

rating. **UPDATE** we've had the fridge for about a year now and I'm revising the score down to 2 stars. We've wasted a lot of food because significant sections of the fridge are either too warm or too cold. There are three main complaints I have with it: 1. Anything that comes into contact with the back wall of the fridge tends to freeze. (Overall the temperature consistency is not good, but whether it's worse than other fridges I couldn't say) 2. There are storage shelves built into the door which have room for tall bottles, but very low edges, so that taller things fall out when you open the door. 3. There should be much more crisper space. For anyone eating a reasonably healthy diet, the crisper is woefully small. Given the dimensions of the fridge, there should have been a second crisper drawer added. Good points - it is quiet and pretty easy to clean.

doesn’t, and the difference is brilliant. The amount of lint coming from the clothes is negligible compared to before. The Chiq fills up fast, is easy to use, and call me weird but I like being able to see the clothes washing through the see through lid..lol. I see other users have issues with their machines, but touch wood, mine is fabulous.

And Pigs Fly – I purchased the Chiq CTM348NW5E from Appliances Online a few months ago. My two main reasons for purchasing this model was the fridge and freezer… Read more

capacity and the 5 Star Energy rating.

The good and the bad about this fridge.

It looks stylish and modern, has glass shelves and if you are into vacuum cleaners, tit sounds like a vacuum cleaner when its running. That’s it for the good, now for the bad.

5 Star Energy rating! Boy, was I wrong and disappointed. This fridge loves to run and run and run and run. This fridge runs more than my 25 year old fridge which I replaced with this Chiq fridge.

This model has an inverter compressor with is meant to be energy efficient, well for the amount of time this fridge runs each day, I have no doubt it uses more than my 25 year old fridge.

My regret is that I should have spent a little more and bought a name brand fridge with good ratings instead of buying this energy hog.

Some examples, on the day of writing this review, its low 20’s outside, the roller shutters are down most of the way and its cool inside the house. This energy efficient fridge ran for an hour, stopped running for 23 mins then ran for another 45 min, 5 Star Energy rating?

During late Winter, early morning when it was zero degrees outside and freezing inside, the fridge ran for 30 mins, stopped for 10 mins then ran for another 40 mins. 5 Star Energy rating?

Its not uncommon for this fridge to run around 40-50mins and stop for around 20 mins. 5 Star Energy rating? And pigs fly.

This Freezer heats up the room – Nearly everything else about this freezer is great. It is much wider and deeper than the previous freezer I had but only 11L more in capacity which… Read more

isn't a big deal for me. The real problem is that the room the freezer is in is now consistently 1-2 degrees C more than previously. While it was cooling itself down initially it was so hot the room, even with the air conditioner on, felt stifling. The sides were very hot to the touch. This unit has great star ratings (as a refrigerator 5 and as a freezer 4.5 stars) but if I need to use more cooling for most of the year (I live in a very hot area) then any savings on power would be lost or worse.

The Black Crunch – It’s loud at times. Kind of a crunching noise that sometimes comes from the right side, and other times the left side. It’s quite annoying. More so… Read more

because it’s a brand new fridge. Other times it just has the normal hum sound of a fridge. I worry if this noise will get worse over time. Otherwise, it operates as expected.

Inside looks good but the door storage isn’t very functional because the shelves have a narrow face which means bottles have to potential to fall off the shelf, especially when the door opens and closes. And it closes with a quick thud, which shakes all the bottles.

External aesthetics look great in my kitchen. The black is glossy and I don’t see any finger marks on the surface of the fridge - which is great.

Update: 1) Fridge wasn’t cooling in crisper. ChiQ were responsive and sent technician to fix. 2) Fridge noise became worse. CHiQ sent technician. Fridge was not repairable. CHiQ refunded the cost of the fridge and were helpful and easily accessible throughout this process.

have cleaned and has returned every time and thats when the marks come off. When i called they said why haven't u called sooner, i have moved 3 times in this period, stuff in storage for a period of time sustained a back injury so unfortunately i did have other things going on and i figured when i had time it was under warranty anyway. These marks return with in a couple days of cleaning every single time without fail. I have reached out to chiq as its getting beyond a joke and is not normal. I have owned many friges in my life and keep mine extremely clean. They have told me its due to cleaning maintenance not being done and its not a warranty thing also been told it dust or dirt. Customer service very rude and telling me basically its my problem. I refuse this is the case as its in the entire fridge and also the freezer. It has a 7 year warranty. After 2 days arguing they said they will send a assessor out but its not a warranty thing and I will be charged. I will never purchase the brand in anything especially after how I've been treated and possibly stuck with a health hazard fridge with an out of pocket $785.25 My email ( [Content Removed] )

Practical little bar fridge – A great fit for purpose bar fridge to use in an upstairs wet area of the house. It is small, quiet and does the job that it was bought for. Great bottle holder space in the door and small freezer section in the top. Handy and practical.

The Chiq TV has a pleasant screen and the image is rewarding to watch. Transition from home screen to TV using the TV button takes at least 6… Read more

seconds. Changing channels in TV mode takes an average of a couple of seconds up to a full 5 seconds.

Settings menu is not straightforward to navigate. Sound is thin and disappointing. To make matters worse, when an external sound bar or Dolby system is used to get decent sound, the lip sync is all wrong. Although there is an option to delay the audio, the problem is the audio is already behind the movement so attempting to resolve the problem using the spdif delay only makes it worse. I've spent many frustrating hours trying to correct this problem with absolutely zero success. Unfortunately, once you become aware of this flaw, the unit is difficult to enjoy and it's impossible to ignore this shortcoming. It may not be as noticeable on a smaller unit but on the 75 inch screen, it is a deal breaker.

The other really annoying thing is that once you connect it to a soundbar and set up volume control through the TV remote and turn off the speakers, there is a message that comes on screen every single time you adjust the volume asking if you want to turn the internal speakers on. It doesn't just time out and go away, you have to click OK each and every time. I have spent hours trying to rectify this problem too.

The next frustration I'll mention may well be the Google OS rather than the TV but each app seems to function differently and there is no continuity. For example in one app whilst using the keyboard you can navigate to the results with the remote by clicking past the keyboard and straight to the results but in other apps you have to click the tick to move out of the text entry box. As I said, lack of continuity. Whilst you might think it isn't important, it limits how effectively you can use the apps and you constantly get the feeling you've made a mistake when you haven't. Response time using the apps is also very slow, when combined with the continuity issues makes for a rather unpleasant experience.

Please just give me a device that works correctly right out of the box without spending hours trying to correct issues that there is no fix for.

I'd love to get rid of this TV because of the audio sync issue, sadly I'm stuck with it for quite a while as I can't afford to just junk it. It is such a shame because the picture is actually very nice, which is why I rated it two stars. If the picture wasn't impressive, there's no doubt this would be a one star TV.

I have had 2 technicians come out 3 times to fix the door/hinge and it's still faulty. The door doesn't stay open, despite their efforts the fridge is still faulty. Will never recommend CHIQ.
