60 litre Engel

sell the lot and buy the biggest waeco thaey make

Sorry ,but I have to disagree with both Colin + Diamond,,dont like the idea of only 1 large fridge,too heavy when full,best to have 2 medium size,1 for the food and 1 for the BEER .
If you have the battery power ,ditch the chescolds to pay for another engle or waeco or best of all a 65/70 ltr evercool,the absolute ducks guts for cold beer.

Drew, have a look in this forums trader section, fellow wants to swap his 60 for a 40 engle.

Drew, If you're thinking of 60L or bigger fridge, I'd agree with Colin, get a Trailblaza. They'll last forever, have very thick insulation and can be used as fridge freezer with small, DIY modification. While the Wacko's might be good, Danfoss compressor etc, they are plastic, and long term in hot conditions can mean warping of lids, broken latches etc.

The beer? Drink it hot, it hits you faster, and lasts longer. Where do you think Kimberly Kool came from? If it doesn't froth out the top, she's cool enough to drink. But honestly, I like my beer cold these days. Hooroo....

The only thing to do is sell the 40ltr Engel really cheap to me. I'll even drive to the Shire to pick it up ;)

Then go get 1 larger unit. You dont really need 2...

How many going?

Remember one thing you dont have to take 3 months supply in one go... You shop as you go...

50ltr Waeco someone posted a story here about lots of them waitin repair under warranty.. I think it was here anyway.

I have a 60 Litre Engel and I can tell you that sucker is heavy !!! Not so bad now while I am a relatively fit 41 year old but it's not going to get any easier. Slides and covers are dearer than 40L. We always manage to fill it though so I've never been able to make up my mind if we made the right choice. Makes a great bar fridge for parties though.
Think I'll end up getting a smaller one for little trips.

G'day
My only input is
1. Unless evakool has dramatically improved the compressors do not get one. I did and it failed (it was the new generation twin compressor). Fortunately the camping store I bought it from (aussie disposals-adelaide) let me trade it for a new 60L engel, I had to pay the difference in price but what a relief. The compressor company associated with this product was in liquidation at the time, with parts/compressors being bought up by superkool the ice manufacturer. I understand that the ice boxes are very good quality and maybe by now the have a new compressor? But check it out first as when I talked to the service provider here he said compressor failure was common. This is all a couple of years ago though.
2.The engel - heavy but very very good.
cheers
