Thread: new esky

on the front page of todays trading post is advertised the techni ice 60 litre esky for $99.......plus $15 delivery.......

on sale from 6/12/07 till 16/12/07........

holds over 70 cans......






just thought i would mention this.......

We got ours for $60 plus $27 delivery. Although the price in the trading post is still pretty cheap if you don't want to buy through an ebay auction.

We took two of these across the Simpson. And I've used mine for other camping trips. It's sturdy, but it won't hold ice for 3 days. I used crushed ice, put it in and kept it in the kitchen to see how long it would last before I ever took it on a trip. I had water in a couple of days.

Using block ice (or frozen solid water bottles - less mess, cool water for days) and filling it to the brink, will help it last longer. My experiment had a mostly empty esky.

We bought them for $70ea at the Wantirna market (factory 2nd - had some scratches), so it's been good value.

got me confused......?

they look like the ones Kmart sell made by a company called scorpion if i remember right? they are about $800 at kmart i think. may not be quite as big.

Did you notice the clever use of current rating.. 2.5A at 24v... that means 5A at 12v... not quite an engel or waeco is it?

nice that it has both fridge and feezer tho...

Thanks
