Waeco fridge lid warped and still waiting for new one

Who did you call? I have called Blackburn (Vic) and the head office in Queensland and they both put me on a list.

Did you get the new thick one or the original hollow lid? They said that they have got a new lot made that are thick and heavy.

I certainly dont want to start a fridge debate but can you refer me to any independent tests that verify your claim that Evacool uses less power and is better insulated.

I have had nothing but trouble with 3 way fridges in the tropics so I reckon you are on the right track.

Thanks

WHO THE HELL IS THE IMPOSTER USING MY NAME,, NEVER HAD A 50LT WAECO,,HAVE AN 80 NEVER A PROBLEM,,,DAVID I WAS LED TO BELIEVE YOU CHECKED EMAIL ADDRESSES AGAINST USER NAMES,, WHAT GOES ON???????????????????????????????

mate no independent tests
owning both 50 litre fridge turn the fridge off sometime at night
both fridges have Jaycar thermometers
both fridges have much the same thing in them
Evacool 5c in the morning
Waeco 12c in the morning
mate with Engel 11c in the morning
Evacool runs less so to me uses less power
mate scientific to me

IF you claim to be me ,,get your bloo-y facts right ,,bet you dont even know where the h-ll the Waeco factory is or the REAL PUBLICANS quote on Waeco.............

mate I have used this handle for 20 years
people are not dummy and can see the difference between names

ThePublican NEVER HAD A 50LT WAECO,,HAVE AN 80 NEVER A PROBLEM,,,NEVER HAD A BRAIN

Thank you for the info.

Hmmm
D-Jack you obviously enjoy chewing cardboard. 80lb mulloway fillets........urrrk
Coral Trout and red throat fit neatly into my cf50.
Wouldnt even be good for bait well maybe in the pots.

Can't say I've ever eaten the above fish, but that must be an impressive fish if they get to 80lb. And I suppose the sport is great hauling up Coral Trout and Red Throat on 80lb braid from 60m - especially when they keep fighting so hard with that big blown swim bladder and all.!

All I can say is that there is nothing quite like having to battle for 30 minutes on 25ln mono from the surf - and don't know about the eating quality of your jewies up there but down here they certainly get better with size (one of the few fish that do) and are up there with atlantic salmon/snapper (our big reds not your little pinkies). Love those 5 foot fillets!

By the way my point was That I have seen many threads on engel vs waeco and very little criticism of the waeco - until now. I knew I paid a little more for a lot better fridge! Doesn't warp in the sun. Hate to think what will happen to them in the next five years when my engel hasn't missed a beat and especially with global warming and all the waecos end up a pile of melted plastic!!

P.S. I've never really though of myself as a S^#t stirrer, guess I'd better start from now!!!

I find it funny that Waeco have so many "factory second" fridges for sale and no one has ever queried their reliablility. People have even discussed how the waecos are warranty repaired being sold but are great cos they are cheap and come with a warranty. I am with you, perfer to pay a little bit more for a fridge that works!
