I have been looking at Super Cheap and they have a 12V car Fridge. Its made in China, but so are the Waco's now under license. Can anyone tell me if they have had a close look at them. 42L fridge, 12 Vdc quoted as 8.5 amps , Down to -10 Deg cost of $599.00 I have seen them on special for $499.00
They had a Waco beside it and it quoted 42L but was no where near as big?? Pehaps they quote the whole casing etc ??
I need to know if they use the same compressor. (Not the Thermocouple units).
Help as I am looking to purchase shortly.
Thanks for the help.

G'day Pauldingo, (any relation to Ernie???)
You may wish to
check out Autopro as
well...
They've been advertising a 35L 12v fridge/freezer (separate freezer compartment) w/- a 240-12v transformer included for $570...
According to their 'cattle-dog', this one "features quality German compressor", which suggests that it's probably a Danfoss (BD35?)... I haven't checked the current draw on these, presumably it would be the same as a Waeco...
My experience with Autopro has been that they are (usually) open to a bit of "haggling", so you may be able to do better than the advertised price...
If I were in the market for a fridge in this size/price range, I reckon that this is the one at which I'd be looking most closely... Happy hunting!!
Regards, Ed. C.
