evercool fridges/compressors

Quote: engels is superior so buy engel basically

I'll call BS on that . . .

It is WIDELY acknowledged that Danfoss make excellent compressors.

It is also known that engel have their own issues with the swing motor in their fridges.

Its like the old , Nissan V Yota , or Diesel V Petrol debate.

Engel make a fine fridge. Plenty of happy customers , but , so do , EvaKool, Waeco , Reefer , Trailblazer etc etc etc.

I would suggest these days , you dont buy a bad fridge from the big players , its ALL about personal requirements , and . . . budget.

I know of a quite a few people who have bought Waeco's from Frdigeshop , and extremely happy with their purchases , ESPECIALLY the price . . .

I don't know where you find these people that tell such whopping lies.
I have had three Engels fail and now use Danfoss compressor fridges and we have had no failures. Danfoss would sell probably ten times the number of compressors Engel do.
I would suggest you contact evaKool direct instead of dealing with liers and thieves you will get a better price and a job properly done. $850.00 to $900.00 is *WAY* over the top.

I bought an Waeco FF70 for $550.00 from the Fridgeshop, had 1 issue with it, sent it away to be fixed under warranty, and it returned following week fixed.
Its a superseded model, who cares, the price was good with 12 months warranty,
but for the quote you have been given, you can add a bit more and get a good fridge from them.
So far im happy.....

To david au thankyou for your reply the price quoted was confirmed today by evakool direct and the repairer is on evakools website $850/$900 seems expensive for a small compressor made in millions for worldwide use

Hi there Brian,sorry to hear that about the compressor.We have an Evakool,that is a 60 litre fridge ,freezer.It's only about 8 months old,but touch wood, I hope it doesnt break on us.So far it has performed great.We have had it in some very warm climates,and has not been a problem.I hope you can get out of your repair bill for much cheaper!cheers and good 4wding.

nope that price sounds fair...try getting an engel replaced for that?

trade price for the danfoss is around 600...add reclaiming refrigerant, new filter drier new gas and labour plus GST.

Brian you may expect and get a more favourable reply.
I would be surprised if you did not get one - I will be *highly* disappointed if you do not.

G'day Brian,

I have read your comments above and would ask that you contact me direct on the following number so that I may address your concerns.

Brian,

Interested to know how you went with you fridge?

Leroy

To all i have spoken to Rod he offered to pay for the fridge to be sent back to everkool will send it tomorrowwill keep you informed how it goes .
for me having a seperate freezing/fridge section is the best design feature i have found with portable fridges,but may not suit others.

After a lot of research, i have found Autofridge to be my preffered fridge of supply and use. Have a look at the quirks website (http://www.quirks.com.au/). If you need a price contact me at outbackstuff@optusnet.com.au.
