Thread: Portable Fridge

I have a large FF70 waeco purchased new in 1995. 17 years old and has never missed a beat. Danfos bdf50 compressor. Was a big risk spending that kind of money then when no one had ever heard of waeco.
It's aluminum sided, plastic lid. Plastic lid did warp a little, so used engel clips to lock it. Base inside fridge has small cracks, but for 17 years of crap in the back of a ute, 3 discos and a patrol, it still has plenty of life left. Key seems to be, is to use them all the time....it's rarely turned off.

I agree,
I have an Engel that is the same age & did think about the Waeco when purchasing my 2nd Engel, but as you said, no one had ever heard of them &/or their reliability.
Good tip is to keep using them.
