    need a new fridge

    well after praising my chinese fridge thats about 3 1/2 years old and been on 2 trips working faultlessly, it has now failed so I need a new one
    whats the thoughts on these
    55L FRIDGE FREEZER EVAKOOL FRIDGE MATE 12V PORTABLE CAR - eBay Portable Fridges, Food Storage, Camping, Hiking, Sport. (end time 28-Nov-09 16:36:52 AEDST)
    For the best use of space I have available it seems like good bang for buck, 5 years warrenty with a danfos compressor

    On our three month trip we saw a number of people with these. Only one that I know of was broken down - which doesn't really say anything about them. Only the guy I talked to with the broken one had any complaints as he'd only had it a few weeks.

    They look like a good insulated plastic esky but they are frighteningly big in external size and take up a lot of room. Though in reality its about the same as a 60L Engel.

    Make up a cardboard box the same dimensions and it will give you an idea of how big it is.

    My preference is Engel as I've had such a good run from mine. I also like the fact that it will run 12/24VDC or 240VAC from the fridge.

    I've got the unit you're looking at.
    I've only had it for about 8 months so it hasn't seen alot of heavy duty use yet but so far so good.
    Yes it's a reasonably large unit externally... has to go 'east-west' behind the cargo barrier in the back of the Disco 1 but that's fine for my needs,
    Then again, it's capacity internally - and ability to be used as a combined fridge/freezer, etc - make it a very functional unit. It's certainly takes the knocks well, with no fear of denting the casing.
    Hope this helps... someone who has had one a bit longer may be able to speak first hand about longevity, but it has the usual german compressor so I'm thinking it should be fine in any case.
