Purchaesd new is Sep. 05, uppon closer inspection, the outer upper section was out of square as well as the inner coolin walls. May be it must be this way as the product is a little flimsy and made in China but sells for $ 520. I had a small accident in Dec. 05 which requires a new base shell but I am waiting now for 2 months to get the parts. My inpression-a lot of hallobaloo but no back up.

Thank you Manzi !

For the tid bit of info as I am in the market for a fridge...sick of the old ice thingy happening. Looks like the Trailblazer or the Explorer is the go. Not as pretty but I do reckon they might take a lot.

Cheers

Hi Manzi,
Looks like you have duffer, i have the CF-18 and the fit and finish is very good. If you want i can take a photo for you if you want to use it as proof to get yours fixed. I find the CF-18 is the most used of my fridges as it is so portable, we use it all the time. Both my waeco fridges CF-50 and CF-18 have been 100% reliable and the build quality is excellent, the CF-18 has had a hard life and its still 100% perfect.

Hi Manzi
I have been considering the CF 18 as a back up to the eski to freeze two bottles of water as we travel. These would be put into the eski as ice and the melted ones refrozen. That way we don't have to worry about ice and a swimming pool in the eski as it melts.
Will the CF18 do the job do you think?
I also like it because of its size weight and portablility.
Cheers,
Camper
