Thanks for the 17 responses on the Fridges

Just one more thought

MAX AMP DRAW ENGEL 40L AND SMALLER 2.5A P/H
MAX AMP DRAW WAECO 50L AND SMALLER 5.7A P/H

MAX AMP DRAW ENGEL 60L AND LARGER 4.5A P/H
MAX AMP DRAW WAECO 60L AND LARGER 6.6A P/H

I HAVE DONE A BIT OF RESEARCH BEFORE PURCHASING A FRIDGE MYSELF, AMP DRAW WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR ME AS I USE A SOLAR PANEL TO CHARGE BATTERIES AS I STAY IN ONE LONGER THAN MY BATTRIES CAN LAST , JUST A THOUGHT.

Hmmmmmm......

Can't and won't dispute that.

My Waeco CF 35 draws 3.1 Amps over 12 volts. Book running time is 17%..... can't confirm that part though.

Sorry Funnyone but a low current draw doesn't mean it uses less power over an hour. Even though the 40 L Engel may only use 2.5 amps, you will find that it needs to run almost twice as long as a fridge that has better insulation to keep it at the same temp. As an example: An Autofridge may have a current draw of 3.5 amps but at the end of the day it will have only run half the time of the Engel, effectivly using 30 % less power.
The single most important feature of a fridge is it's insulation & both Waeco & Engel (amoung others) chose not to put enough in.

Thanks for your response you are very true , just could not afford a autofridge .
