Power draw from Engel

I bought a brand new 32 litre from the Engel distributor in SA last year. It draws about 2.4 amps. I quizzed him about an older one I was offered the year before which was approx 15 years old at the time and was told that the older ones draw a lot, approx 6 amps. Anyway, they are a bloody good fridge.

The older Engels do draw approx 6amps on Full Freeze mode, this drops to around 2amps on frigde mode.
2.4amps for the new units is again on full freeze mode. The New models use less than 1 amp if used as a fridge.
Over the past 2 weeks I have been at the Caravan & Camping show in Sydney where I had a 40yr old Engel on my stand - still going strong.
Look after them and you will have it for a very long time.

The replacement motor was put in it four years ago. Would that mean it would less amps than the original motor?

mine is almost 3 years old now (is that still new?) and it draws over 4 amps anyway.
Any 60 Litre will draw heaps of amps

I have an older (khaki colour) 39L Engel - not sure of its vintage. All its bits appear original and it draws pretty close to 5 Amps when running. By comparison to a friends newer (grey) Engel it runs a lot more - so that is why power consumption is greater. It is a great fridge but a little bit too power hungry for my liking - I can usually get about 30 hours in one spot before aux battery is down to around 11.5 V which is as low as I like to take it (and my friend's battery is still up around 12.2 V at same time). And thats at ambients in the high 20's - not the real hot stuff.
