Hello Guys and Gals.
We have finally saved enough money to buy an Engel 40L 12 volt fridge/freezer.
The purchase price was $1099.00 and was bought at a local army disposal store. Nice guy running the show but couldn't lower on the price of $1099.00.
Definately a 40L fridge and not the 32l one which he also had for sale for $999.00
I am happy to pay a price for something worthwhile but I am curious if it is a good price as their were not a whole lot of
places to look for one(
Bundaberg).
I am just curious to find out if it would have been cheaper to have gone to the big smoke to buy a fridge. I suppose I could have Googled for an answer but I don't like purchasing over the Internet.
Please don't say I could have bought a Weaco or other fridge cheaper as my brother owns an Engel which he has taken on his trip around WA and it made up my mind to have an Engel.
On the purchase box it said Japanese designed but built in Taiwan? Shouldn't make a difference as to the Quality of the product....right?
Regards

Sparkiepete,
The only negative replies you will get are from non-Engel owners and that is because they don't know any better.
Rest assured, you have purchased a top quality fridge, that should give you many years of trouble free service.
I agree that a transit bag is also a good accessory to add.
Another worthwhile addition is an Over Discharge Protector to stop the Fridge from draining the battery.
These are available from K-Mart, Repco, Battery World, etc. for about $30.00
