The fridge debate will again escalate with the emergence of a new and less expencive model released recently.

The new Reefer 'DR' range of fridges is aimed squarely at the Waeco/Engel market and using the same compressor as the larger Waeco range of fridges, it can't be condemed for poor performance either.

Both the Waeco CF60 and Reefer DR60 models use the Danfoss compressor, however the Reefer DR60 uses the larger BD50 compressor.
Engel 60Lt uses the Sawafuji swing motor.

Sizes and weight are similar for each unit.

Prices are the real variable according to the various web sites and this is where the Reefer wins hands down, totally far and away better priced than it's nearest compeditor!

$1,500 Engel ($1,639 Ranger Camping)

$1,040 Waeco (Fridge Shop)

$ 899 Reefer

The Reefer 'DR' fridge range has a full size evaporator plate which is plastic coated and sits in the wall of the unit. This plate in all models including the massive DR100 covers the full interior wall maximising the level of refrigeration.

The DR60 is the only unit under 80lt's that has the larger BD50 Danfoss compressor and as such I believe performs exceptionally well.
The Reefer DR60 can maintain -10C at 50C ambient temp.
