20th July 04. This is an excellent video appraisal of the Dometic upright fridge. Given there is so much confusing and contradictory online information and advice re upright portable fridge/freezers this video is welcome. Thank you

[@Off.Track4x4]

Thanks for watching and commenting Aidan, means alot. I try my hardest to be honest, hurts my chances with brands wanting to work with me, but I'd rather have integrity 😊

[@garywinkworth3380]

mate thats the best review so far. its great you told us the inside temp of the fridge. i like my beer just before it ices up. so setting to 4 deg is no good. more better at 1 deg. thanks man.

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hey mate, happy to help glad you enjoyed the view. So very interesting ones coming up

[@ERHD-n3e]

With this fridge you will either have warm beer or frozen beer. That is how appalling the temperature control is on the Dometic NRX.

[@MaxClark1960]

Thanks for the great review and info, I have just purchased the new NRX 130 fridge which will be installed into our caravan as the old 3 way just does not cut it anymore. The things you like n love about your fridge is what I like n love about the NRX 130 and this is why I made the purchase over the Bushman's, Waeco, evercool etc. Keep up the great work and once I have our new fridge installed I might do a review on it or just let you know.

Thanks mate! I have some interesting things coming up.... Just doing some testing, watch this space

[@ERHD-n3e]

They videos may be great, however the information is false. The fridge cannot keep safe food storage temperatures and needs constant mothering to try and keep safe food storage temperatuers.

[@VintheValley]

I have a lil CRX50 in my van, the power consumption is so good but it is tiny even for a solo traveller. I'm trying to decide between the CRX80 and NRX80. There are pros and cons to both, but I guess power consumption trump's it all. Thanks for your review - and thanks to the film crew!

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hello, thanks for watching and commenting. Honesy if your tossing up between the NRX and CRX it is an easy choice this the NRX is by far the better fridge. Not perfect but leaps and bounds better. I'd love it to have a temperature controlled thermostat.

[@ERHD-n3e]

The NRX fridge is a disaster compared to the CRX. The CRX was repairable by fitting a digital temperature controller. The NRX is expensive faulty failure and to date Dometic are no help. The fridge either freezes the cabinet or the freezer is under safe food storage temperatures. The cheaper fridges with some modification work better and can keep proper food storage temperatures.

[@bobdunne8270]

Excellent review... I'm looking for a less power hungry version of my CRX so looks like I found it

last Time I used it was bloody hot and the fridge ran continuously day and night @ 4 amps. It was 43 degrees day and 38 overnight and powered from 240 Ah of lithium battery. just about everyone that has the same camper trailer as myself has changed to Bushman's because of being so power hungry. @@Off.Track4x4

[@bryandavies8769]

People talk about a fan mod in fridges Can you tell me wha that is please

[@ERHD-n3e]

Well the Dometic NRX is a failure in temperature control. Frosting is inevitable on all fridges when humidity is high. Even worse if you put things in the fridge without wrapping or in containers.

Thanks mate, means alot

[@jerrygransden6677]

Hey mate great review. Mine just showed up have did it running in the shed seems good so far. 👌 What setting do you find it runs the best on to keep the temp down? Also does your lock actually not allow the door to crack open at all?

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hey mate, all depends on the temp during the day. Over night I have it on eco 3 through winter can stay on that during the day. But in summer you will need to put it on performance high ether 2 or 1 during the day. Yep the door should have play, but the seal when on should hold it shut.

[@nikfarrugia3074]

Thanks for the review. Any idea how many cans will fit in each of the drawers?

Great review!! You sold me on it, I just picked mine up this afternoon from bcf. One question, I’ve plugged into 240v on high power mode, is the compressor symbol supposed to be orange when the compressor is off?

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hey mate, yep green means compressor is running orange means it's on sleep mode 👍

[@JimStim101]

Thanks mate! Another question, would you know what the white 4 pin connector that’s cable tied to the insulated pipe/above the fan does? Is that for installing an extra fan or thermometer?

when in fridge mode can you adjust the small freezer to pull temps separately ? Im looking at the 115 ltr Dometic for my canopy here in the NT to do away with my drop down fridge slide system. Also can you get extra door trays from Dometic for this fridge ?

[@Off.Track4x4]

G'Day Steve, Unfortunately it is not a dual zone fridge and freezer so the freezer can't be controlled separately, only have that ability in chest fridge I believe. I would heavy recommend swapping over to an upright best move you can make. You could be able to get more door trays from Dometic spare parts. Let me know if you end up buying one 👍

[@vaughanscott7308]

[@shadowfire77]

Great review! Think I will go for this fridge for my van. Only thing I havent figured out is how much lower the temps are in the veggie boxes compared to upper part of the fridge, i.e. what happens if you store butter down there instead.

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hello, thank you for watching. I wouldn't think they are any colder. Your best place to put butter would be the top shelf just under the freezer that's where the cold air comes out.

[@ERHD-n3e]

Unfortunately the review is all about advertising. The fridge cannot keep safe food storage temperatures in either the cabinet or freezer.

[@liamcooper6721]

Hey mate, I've just got myself one and after playing with it there are some things that I feel should have been mentioned. 1. The door latches will need adjusting. Mine let the door open 8mm and wouldn't hold the door closed enough for the whole fridge seal to well... seal. 2. Only the bottom latch is adjustable. So once adjusted all the load is only on that bottom latch, how this fairs for longevity, time will tell. 3. That travel lock is useless. It, in no way stops the door from being opened if the handle is lifted. You can even lift it while it's "blocking" it. A physical interference latch would have been better. Finally as far as doors fittings/setups go, it gets beat out by a cheaper brand but wins back for its insulation vs said cheaper fridges. I hope it doesn't let me down in any other aspect or I will be ropeable.

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hello Liam, if your fridge is not staying closed by the seal it's self, take it back under consumer law and swap it. No adjustments should need to be made. Mine you can not keep it open, you would have to wedge something in-between the steal and fridge to do so. It have a tiny amount of play but the steal is to strong on this new model. If yours isn't like that take it back as their is a problem with the seal.

[@liamcooper6721]

@@Off.Track4x4 Its better now its sat out of the box for a few days but I think you're right. The seal is weak enough that I can open it with 2 fingers 30mm from the hinge (I measured it XD) Plus no amount of squeezing of the seal will fix the 2 corner mitres that are not flush.

Been a good little fridge thus far and get to put it through a short stint out at Manar Park soon.

[@mindofown]

Thanks great review just what I needed to know. How does it work when you swap from 240v to 12volt?

[@Off.Track4x4]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Once the fridge sences 240v it will take the power from that over 12v. As soon as the 240v is taken away it goes back to 12v. You don't need to physically do anything.

[@ERHD-n3e]

Well find a better fridge that works, as the NRX is a temperature fail in every way.

[@IntheDarkandbackwards-qk1rp]

Think u may want to check your cool down amp maths. By my reckoning it's 3.1a/hr per hour of draw. Also the compressor and fan are controlled by the black control module that the power leads connect to. This controls the speed of the 2 above mentioned items. Be good to see same sort of test over 24hrs via the lithium from full after being cooled down first to really show average amp draw. I have a kings 110 and it will use from 6amp (usually at first start and cool down) to 1.9a draw measure via a clamp meter over several hours. This new one does look the goods though.

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hey mate, thank you for your comment. 0.8A/h over 24 hours is not including cool down. I pre cooled on 240v before setting off on a 3 day trip. Ran the fridge on eco mode, it uses 2.4A while compressor is on. I would have loved to do more tests and put in the video, but was way to long as it was 😔

[@IntheDarkandbackwards-qk1rp]

I'm referring to the cool down shed test at 10:15. The resultant 3.1ah used p/hr over 2 hours you referred to as (3.5ah over that 2 hours @ 10:43 mark.) 134.01-127.69=6.32 or 3.16amp hours per hour. Future video idea for the longer test as a lot of people would love to see these results with this being such a new product in the upright market.@@Off.Track4x4

Hi, the 240 mains supply, is this cable fitted into a step down circuit for it to then be converted to 12v

[@andrewdurbidge1283]

Hi, thanks for the review...i have a Bushman 130ltr and looking at swapping out for the Dometic NRX. The only issue is the height may not fit in the canopy. Is there any feet, brackets or clips that extend past the actual ext walls. If not i would have to drop down to the 115ltr.

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hey mate, all feet and brackets finish flush with the unit. Do you need a 130L fridge? Thats alot of fridge to keep cold if you don't use all the space. Remember with the Dometic you can remove the freezer and use that as fridge

[@andrewdurbidge1283]

@@Off.Track4x4 Thanks for the reply...your probably right...most of the time the fridge isn't packed full but because we have the height in the canopy it just made sense to use up the space. We have a 280A Lithium battery so pwr isn't an issue so much. We do some longer trips so better to have the fridge not packed tight for better air movement. I do like the removable freezer compared to the bushman. It looks like the 115 is it then...Thanks again.

[@andrewdurbidge1283]

Looking at buying one but there is only a 1 or 2 suppliers at the moment. Where did you get yours from and what was the price? Just so i can compare with what's available at the moment.

[@ERHD-n3e]

The Bushman is just another cheap Chinese fridge sold at an extortionate ripoff price. Fact is it is only 110L and identical to the Kings fridge at less than half the price. The Kings fridge has a superior internal layout and is easily fixed to work correctly with the addition of an extra digital temperature controller. The Dometic NRX currently is not fixable.

[@emilymartin3239]

Hey... Deciding weather to go for the kings upright model or this?? Obviously theres a big price difference! Do you think its worth it for the price?? It will be inside a well ventilated van. A big seller for me is power consumption!

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hello Emily, I did a review on the kings fridge please take in mind that they have changed the compressor since that review. I think the kings is fine, so long as you don't plan on visiting Queensland. Your biggest problem is the heat not alot of fridges can function in summer. This fridge is the only one that stayed cold in my car in summer.

[@jessbroadhead5956]

Thanks for the detailed info and review. We're looking at purchasing one for our van and you've sold us! You mentioned that you recommend cooling on 240 for an hour before switching to 12v. If permanently installed in a van and connected to 240 and 12v outlets, does the fridge automatically switch to 12v when the caravan is unplugged from mains power? Cheers

[@Off.Track4x4]

Morning Jess, glad I could help. Yes that's the best part ot Automatically switches so for your situation it would be perfect

[@ERHD-n3e]

Don't expect the fridge to keep safe food storage temperatuers. This NRX digital temperature controller is a total failure. You cannot keep safe cabinet or freezer food storage temperatures in any weather. Typical RV expensive rubbish from Dometic.

[@ImSammy]

I had a CRX 50 a couple of years back where water would leak from the freezer area and would eventually leak out out somehow out of the fridge, curious as it seems like the sealing is better on the NRX if you had any thoughts on this and if it's something you have noticed if anything with this model? I feel like it's possible that being that because the freezer is removable possibly that's the reason that was happening for me on the CRX 50. Trying to decide between the Bushman 130L, Vitrifrigo C115L and the NRX 130L for my camper van. Cheers.

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hello Sammy, I never had that happen on my CRX 50 that should like your freezer wasn't sealing properly and was defrosting on you. Definitely not normally. If I removed the freezer I would get ice form on the roof and drop in my CRX50. This one no issues with that at all, they really have Improved it astronomically.

Hey Lachlan, Definitely not normal, on eco mode mine only turns on every 10 minutes. Whats the temperature in the fridge? You would think for the compressor not to turn off it should be in the minus inside. If it is, then it's a temperature sensor issue, if it's not below zero it's a compressor issue.

Hey mate thanks for watching and commenting. Just got home and looked at what you could do. So the fridge door is 625mm from the ground, but there is legs on all 4 corners that can be removed and the fridge would then sit flush on the floor. That would then take the Hight down to 605mm. You would want to use the 5mm to chock the fridge up though so the door can swing freely and not slide across the ground.

Hi does this fridge have frosting problems?

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hey mate, thank you for watching and thanks for the comment. In the freezer yes, in the fridge it's self no, no icing up but I'm pretty good at watching the temperature and change the settings if it starts to get to cold.

[@bryandavies8769]

Hi I have just looked at one at bcf and the bottom door hinge pin was slopping around something terrible Is this normal?

Awesome review.

[@Off.Track4x4]

Thanks John, really appreciate it 🙂 Thank you for watching

[@ERHD-n3e]

Trouble is the review is fake and for sales and totally false. The temperature control in the fridge and freezer is a failure in the cabinet and freezer. This review is purely about sales and no truth or facts.

[@unitedstates3068]

do these need regular defrosting?

[@liamcooper6721]

all "car" fridge/freezers need defrosting regularly, none of the have a defrost feature.

[@Off.Track4x4]

Ive been running mine for two weeks straight so I can better answer these questions. I have no ice build up. But would all depend on where you live and how often you open it. Ice build up is due to the humid wet air getting into the fridge and icing up.

[@ERHD-n3e]

No doesn't need defrosting because the fridge constantly defrost itself as it cannot maintain safe food storage temperatuers in the fridge cabinet or freezer. Consequently the fridge defrost itself many times a day.

[@liamcooper6721]

@@ERHD-n3e Guess I need to throw a temp logger into mine because every time I checked my trusty old alcohol thermometer. it showed 4 degrees but I did notice a rather large amount of condensation build up for just 3 days use.

Watched this a few days ago, Ashley had the right idea, so I went and bought it, but fella,ditch her just for the fact you look not only good but smart in flanno , she’s obviously doesn’t appreciate the bogan life. I hope you got your wife basher navy king gee singlet underneath.

Glad you got the fridge it won't let you down 😊 Thanks for watching mate, and dropping a comment means alot

[@rustynail4x4]

I find Dometic absolute rubbish! The CFX I purchased in 2021 failed within 3 months from new! Dometic only have a 3 year warranty and the warranty is nearly up now and it’s been in to be fixed under warranty 5 times in the 2.5 years I’ve owned. The first one was replaced with a new one also so it’s not even the same initial fridge/freezer. Would not recommend especially at the premium price. No way. Go the kings fridge any day at 1/3 of the price with a 5 year warranty. Totally disagree with your review of the kings 85L and how you are talking up a brand that is rubbish and will be in getting fixed more than you can use it.

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hey Rusty, thanks for the comment you definitely shouldn't waist your time getting units fixed just get a new one. If your warranty is almost up and it's still play up just get a refund

[@-PORK-CHOP-]

@@Off.Track4x4 Agree, there is consumer guarantee rights that cover these situations, kick up a fuss and tell them you want a refund, quoting from ACCC re the new consumer laws, When a business sells a product with a major problem, or a product that later develops a major problem, it must give the consumer the choice of a refund, or replacement of the same type of product. A refund should be the full amount the consumer paid for the product. The business must not deduct an amount from a refund to take into account the use a consumer has had of the product.

[@WaitWhat99]

Had kings, farking rubbish. Never hot cold enough. Got the nrx is EPIC.

[@ERHD-n3e]

This review is all fake and about sales and not at all factual. This Dometic NRX fridge cannot keep safe food storage temperatures in the fridge cabinet or freezer.

[@tomharding3126]

100 percent I’ve got a CFX95 (18 months old) with the common NTC short fault. Which is a fault thermistor. I’ve rung 15 “warranty agents” in Brisbane and none of them will fix the fridge, I’ve tried contacting Dometic with no success. Now this isn’t a hard job and the parts aren’t expensive but after you spend that amount of money on a fridge why the bloody hell should I fix it when it’s under warranty. Absolute worst customer service going will never buy anything from Dometic again.

[@aussiecue]

Why oh why did they make it so you cannot put a standard drink can sitting upright on the wire racks? Its only a few millimetres?? They all have to lie down wasting space.

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hey mate, thanks for watch and commenting to support the channel. You can adjust the shelf hight to make them fit

[@toddgrundel2008]

This fridge is made for the global market and a lot of countries don’t have a 375ml can. Normally a 330ml can. You can adjust the shelf’s if needed

I don't like how the compressor is exposed, it should be under a cage or similar to stop anything being able to damage the compressor parts, this design is forcing you to need a separate cage, I also don't like the black sticky tape around the perimeter for a $1400 fridge that's unacceptable.

[@liamcooper6721]

its marketed more for cabinet fitting then just out in the open but just about all of the brands are exposed like this, even the (not so mighty anymore) Engel's. Tape of fridge/freezer units where gaps need insulating is pretty much industry standard. At least they tried to blend it. These thing are neither here nor there compared to other things I have found.

[@Off.Track4x4]

Hello, Liam is right king's is the only fridge that covers the compressor. No upright fridge is ment to be exposed so need to make the back look fancy. The tape I agree looks crap but is is proper fridge tape that will last and if it ever comes looser you can have it repaired for free.

[@liamcooper6721]

After a bit of snooping on Dometic's site and the page that comes with the fridge, That black "bezel" that the tape is on is removeable for installation of a "flush mount kit". Again because these are made with RV's and caravans in mind. So while it is the best to look at, it serves a purpose.

[@rpvitiello]

The compressor isn’t meant to be left exposed. This is supposed to be installed in a built in cabinet, not used as a free standing device. Free standing fridges are the ones that look like a cooler with top doors.

[@ERHD-n3e]

This fridge for the price is an disaster. Impossible to keep food in the fridge or freezer at safe food storage temperatures whatever the weather. The controls for temperature are a total failure. Either freezer is not cold enough or cabinet wants to freeze. This Dometic NRX is expensive rubbish. Dometic for service and repairs on this fridge are hopeless. No product support.

[@Off.Track4x4]

Mate this is the 2nd fridge video you have put a nasty comment on, I'm going to guess you work for a different fridge manufacturer? Why don't you try offering me your product to review and if it beats the king's and Dometic Fridge that will show. Much more professional approach then putting childish comments on review videos

[@andrewdurbidge1283]

@@Off.Track4x4 I had the 130 ltr Bushman and had issue after issue trying to get the fridge to work correctly. I installed a fan, fitted 6.5mm insulbreak insulation to the entire cabinet and added another external fan blowing on the compressor...nothing worked. Bushman were great though so don't want to bag out the fridge to much as i may just have got a dud. They tried to help in every way and even took it to a dealer who re-gassed it. Still didn't work properly so they offered me to a full refund after a year and a half. I bought the 115lt Dometic and it has been great. No problem at all. Prefer the larger freezer and option to have a full fridge. Thanks for the original review and reply's.

The instruction manuals ate rubbish..no info

Hey Harry, Thanks for watching and commenting, most instruction manuals are, I think it's because they know no 1 reads them 😅 Is there anything I can help with?
