Saw a video on the drawer fridges a while back, old mate drilled holes in the bottom of the drawer, and it appeared to improve the circulation, which improved the efficiency on his tests. Haven't seen anyone put a computer fan in on of these yet, like they're doing to the uprights.

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

That's an interesting mod with the drilled holes. I have noticed similar improvements with ventilation in other setups too. Adding a computer fan sounds like a great idea to improve circulation even more. I haven't seen anyone try it on drawer fridges, but it might be worth experimenting with. Thanks for sharing.Appreciate the tip and thanks for watching 👍🍻

Hi Dino, great review as always!

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

Cheers mate thanks for watching 👍🍻

[@BenMitro]

Thanks Dino. Very informative review mate. I would guess that a small computer fan in the fridge would help even temperatures out. I wonder if the insulation of the unit could do with thicker foam.

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

Cheers Ben . I forgot to mention there is a small fan located inside the compressor cover but I will be using a usb fan also when I actually put this in the van . Thanks for watching 👍🍻

I saw one of these for sale on Facebook marketplace the other day and I thought mmm neat... could be the ideal travelling fridge

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

G’day. I think the fridge will work out for me as I’m only intending to use as fridge only . Thanks For watching 👍🍻

Hey Dino I’m very late with my comments mate but thanks again as always mate. I’m actually thinking of going away from a swag setup and creating a sleeping setup in the back of the cruiser which would mean I need to change my fridge from the open top to a drawer fridge. This looks like a great bit of kit mate. Would love to see a review on 6-12 months on how you find it Cheers

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

Cheers Jason. Yes great as a fridge so far as thats all intend on using it for. Definitely will do another update later on . Hope all has been well with you and your family. Take care 👍🍻

[@Roberto.Giuseppe]

After watching your review Dino. As a freezer , varying temps would be a worry. As a fridge is an excellent product. Cheers Roberto

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

Cheers Roberto yes for sure the fridge I’m very happy with . Thanks for watching 👍🍻

[@JustinCaseSolarPower]

Looks good, let's hope you got a real bargain. That little 20lt fridge freezer we got Dino well it did not work out on the back of the Ute. I am looking for something ells now.

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

That’s a bummer mate . But I guess you gotta look at the rough corrugated roads you travel on . You might have to stick with the trusty Engel . My 20 litre is still going strong 💪 and been a fantastic fridge for the travelling I do . Hope you and sigi are doing well and travel safe 👍🍻

[@touringwithtyrone4933]

Great video as always. What caught my eye was that acoustic meter that you used. Does that record noise at a certain location over a week period???? Mike

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

G’day Mike . It’s just an app for the iPad called ‘decibel x’ it just measures sound volumes in your surroundings . Hope all has been well mate and thanks for watching 👍🍻

I have the 30L model as a second drinks fridge (cans only). As I have it mounted inside a 4x4 ute tub canopy facing one of the side gull wing windows I fitted one of those stick on plastic/rubber toddler/kiddie proof door latches as in the type to give some protection from young kids opening the fridge or freezer door. I did this because i did not have faith in the kings door latch not breaking under rough off-road conditions and flying open and shattering the side window. Considering the way you have mounted the 60L in your van I would consider doing the same. Under extreme braking that fridge draw could break the catch and fly forward especially with a lot of weight in it.

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

Cheers mate thanks for the tip . Will keep this in mind when I finally mount the fridge . Thanks for watching 👍🍻

As a drinks fridge it should be fine, but a bit heavy on power draw. I have the 30ltr model, it sits on -8C for the last few months occasionally opened for a beer, it might slightly ice up some water bottles at this setting but would take a few days to do so, this would indicate that it is only getting down to -1C or -2C maybe. Good for drinks fridge only, virtually no freezing capacity & uses around 30A-35A daily. It appears you only have about 19.4 ltr currently in there, thats a long way off 60 ltrs or am I missing something here? I also have a LG 65ltr upright from RTM & I don’t think I would recommend it for a canopy setup as it has trouble keeping a reasonable temp for drinks, the digital thermo readouts are way out of whack on both these fridges. The freezer section can get to -15C in good cool conditions occasionally overnight, but generally more like -5C at best and I suspect if in Cairns it would struggle to go into any negative temp.

Cheers for your comment and thanks for watching 👍🍻

How bout moving the 3ltr bottles to the outside off freezer, put small bottle in middle, maybe the 3lrs are blocking cool air. Just saying. Thanks for sharing 👍😎

[@EFFICIENTSELF]

Hi Robbie . Yeah fair call for sure 👍 Perhaps could try doing that but I wouldn’t trust putting in ice cream in this as a freezer with the risk of it melting . I’m going to have a separate freezer also with this fridge. Hope all been well mate 👍🍻

I owned the 30l version for period of time- it has same compressor as the 60l version ( perhaps with more refrigerant, but same compressor)- I agree with you: 1) it does not work well as a freezer, if at all; 2) it consumes a fair amount of power compared to mine 40l evakool drawer and 20l oztrail drawer fridge - it consumes a tag more power than evakool even 10l less; obviously all drawer fridges compares terribly with traditional chest fridge; The thin insulation and the lack of 100% seal around the door and the smallish compressor are the Achilles heel of the 30l and the 60l must be worse. I would look at the 40l evakool or 20l brass monkey/ oztrail/ dometic (20l ver only) if you are keen on drawer fridges and still want reasonable efficiency
