Three years on, would you still recommend this fridge?

Great review, cheers, They are a bit bulky, but like you said, very well insulated.

Marched out in Sept 1977 and stopped wearing the blue uniform in 2002. The best years of my life and I loved every minute.

Thanks for your good review method and details. But 0 degrees Celsius is not a tough test, and I would have liked to see it reviewed as a freezer too, *especially* whether it really does freeze down to -18 Celsius (or if it can't, what can it freeze down to), and how much power it uses to keep things at -18 Celsius, or whatever the real-life minimum is. This is the acid test that sorts the men from the boys, and it has to perform as a freezer too, surely!

G'day, how does it take to get to temperature from warm?

Awesome video thanks mate

599 at the moment

Solid review!

I've owned one for 20 months now. cheap and nasty, hard to keep the inside clean as it is like aluminium foil type lining and marks easily with the baskets rattling around, not like an easy to clean solid plastic liner in other fridges. Plus if you spill something inside is not easy to clean up due to the sharp internal corners that eventually become mouldy. But the biggest issue for me, on a recent camping trip it suddenly decided it wont go below 5 degrees. set it lower to like 2 degrees and the compressor runs non stop, so obviously something has packed up and I'm battling with a warranty claim as of now as comes with a 2 year warranty. When new, and for the first few months I thought it was a good for the price, but to see what something is really like a long term review is needed. for me minus one star.

12p0 today for the 100 liter but its branded companion

Nicely done man. One thing that would have been nice is to do the test with one side set as a freezer to get a real idea of power usage.

Exactly the info we needed cheers mate great video!

Hey mate have you run it as fridge freezer? If so what side did you run as freezer?

Heh mate, awesome video :) just wondering what the dimensions are Without the hinges/latches? I have a drop slide that measures 530mm wide. Would be awesome if this fits ;)

I was Course 44/89 Blue Flight.

Hey mate good video on the product, do you still have it now and how it is running for the last few years.

Great video! I've had the same unit for over 2 years and it's on a slide in my aluminium canopy. I go off road quite regularly and it copes very well with the rough terrain. The only issue I can report was with the power pug on the unit. It looked fine but would not make contact so no power was getting to it. I bypassed the plug and simply hard wired it. I run 2 90ah batteries that charge from a 160w solar panel or from the alternator while driving. Even when parked up for close to a week under heavy cloud cover, I've never had any problems with the fridge draining the batteries. During the week, I usually have the fridge loaded with water bottles, both frozen and cold, to use at work. When camping, there is plenty of room to carry all the food supplies (including ice creams) for trips away. Other than the power plug issue, I cannot fault this fridge and highly recommend it to anyone! This fridge actually works better than the 240v fridge in my house!

Great place and Val is amazing

Just reluctantly gave up my gas fridge and bought one of these, grateful for your honest review. Got mine for 699..

Massive respect to these people. I've learned very quickly that it's not easy to do drill with a steyr, they are in no way light.

Nice one champ.

Fantastic review mate!! 👌 Thanks heaps!!

Nice review mate. Grabbed one last week. Freezer for meat at -10 fridge at 2c 100ah lithium battery and 120w solar. Never missed a beat in 35c heat most days. Old engell gave up after 8 yrs. Only wish the lids were reversable and it had plug points at either end for greater flexibility. For the price its a winner.

Awsome az lil spot for the price can't go wrong ae,Cheers for the vid was a good az watch

I've had one of these for around 2.5 years now and it's been my favorite fridge so far, and this is the 7th 12v fridge I've had over the years. It's quieter than any of the Danfoss/Secop based fridges I've had in the past. I've never had it struggle yet in heat. I like the LG compressor. The only thing that annoys me about this fridge is the basket that doesn't create a barrier over the area where you would keeps eggs and salad etc (above the motor) I don't know whether newer models have remedied this?

Love a grass roots review for real-world evaluations and no bias!

These guys had it so much easier… try spit polishing and marching in WWII era leather boots, throwing around an SLR 7.62 with bayonets 😉😎. Did my Recruit training in Edinburgh with Vietnam Vet instructors, and technical training at Wagga back in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Damn cold and damn hot but I liked the place!

$599 every few months on special from Anaconda. Normal price is $699.

It makes me very proud that I as a Cadet have had the opportunity to parade where 1RTU have paraded.

After watching this great video I will be buying one of these. Most that I have looked at wont work to well once the ambient temp reaches 38degs. This one a 46degs was working well at keeping the temp of the fridge at below 2degs. Thank you for spending the time to make this video.

Great video mate, I never really considered this fridge but seeing how it performed in the video it’s definitely in the running and $1100 cheaper than a Engel you can’t go wrong.

Choice real world review.

Great video test. You say you are running 2x 150A AGM Batteries, did you check the voltage state the next morning to see how much power was consumed ? We’re you also running solar input or just power from your batteries? The reason I ask is I have a 1x 135A AGM and 25A dc dc charger and not sure if it will cope, what are your thoughts.

I marched out of RAAF Edinburgh in 1972

i just brought a aldi one and what a pice of shit fridge set a 3 dg but it runs at -22 my mate said by the oz trail he has had one 3 years no problems it has been running 6 weeks no stop at my house and it works fine so im taking eldi one back and guna drive 200km to bye a oz trail

Thankyou

That’s a bloody good test we’ll done. Im thinking this test has helped me make up my mind. Cheers mate.

Great review! with the real world simulations! How is she performing a year out? It would be interesting to see how this fridge stands the test of time!

Got one yesterday after watching this review, it's amazing on the battery, minimal amperage.

Bloody good test mate, really accurate real-time test, well done.

Thanks for the video that's really helped .. Off to get one this weekend there down to $699 again .. Pretty new to the Camping game .. Was looking at a VoltX 12V 100ah LiFePO4 Lithium Battery with a 150W Solar panel .. That should do the trick hey ?

I have been skeptical with this brand but after watching this great video of yours made decide to get one myself. Thanks mate 👍.

Nice video mate 👍 thank you

14:05 Hahaha the brass never seem to do this one right do they? Arms must get sore from the constant up-down.

I'd recognise that parade ground anyday. Good ol' Wagga. JNCO BCSE 2/10. SNCO ACSE 1/11. Sadly missed out on CWOFF CSE 1/11 as I hadn't served enough time. :( If you know, you know.

Thanks for the review! Noticed they were $699 again so jumped on some reviews. Is it still working well mate?

Good on you mate, simple honest vid mate, subscribed 👍

Great video mate just letting you know brought one on the 7/1/2022 still $699.00 cheers keep up the great work 👍

and i agree i love the low amp draw
