Waeco CF-50

Scott, You may need to wait longer to get a true idea of it's running temp, mine on 3 leds runs between 0 and 4 degrees and never changes whether it is freezing outside or 40 degrees. I am also using the waeco insulated bag as well. I do assume there maybe small differences between fridges in the LED temp range so just see how it goes. Personally I would have been happier with the old style slide setting which gave you better control, 5 degree increments are too large IMHO. I have had no problems with my lid and had it over 12 months, email me and I'll send a pic of my lid oznuggets@yahoo.com.au Regards, Peter

I'd sell my Engel for a Waeco CF 80 (with fridge and freezer) tomorrow if it weren't for the stupid thermostat device on them. I also prefer a knob or slide that allows infinite adjustment. Five degree increments are WAY too much.

Wouldn't put too much creedence in the LED's. Depends on a heap of things, which I am sure you are aware of.

Any more than 4 LED's on my CF 35 it will pop the tops off Soft drins.

Do what I have done, and others say to do........ buy a cheap indoor / outdoor thermometer.....$16 - 20.

God i love my 90 litre Liemack, Gods gift to the 4wd world.. love it

Hi Scott,
I have recently purchased the WAECO 60 litre and have done numerous testing using a temp guage that reads showing minimum and maximum temps.
Those LED lights have been accurate to date. The first Led runs at +10, the 2nd runs at +5 and the 3rd one runs at zero degrees C. According to my thermometer they are correct.
For the past 3 weeks on the 3rd LED and it hasn't moved off zero. Any goods that I put in it has been precolled overnight in our kitchen fridge,

I am carrying out the tests on mine, as I will be doing the Canning Stock Route in late July and all of our meats will be cryovacced and I need them to be kept at zero for optimum preservation. My background is food technology and food safety is paramount
The last few weekend trips that I have done does not appeared to affected my battery. I have it running off a 55amp hour delco deep cycle and I have had the fridge running for 18 hours at a time before the battery has been recharged.
I am happy with it's performance so far.
Happy 4 wheeling EricM..
