Am checking out the brochure on the new engle stainless steel ss40 fridge freezer.Capacity is 37 litres,digital temp read out,2.5amps draw ,tri-voltage etc at a rrp $1449.Seems a fair price increase over a standard 40 litre.I read in a post here somebody had some slight rusting on their engel but that was after many years of use.The polished look of the new s/steel looks great in the show room but would have to scratch up badly if a cover was not kept firmly in place.What is wrong with the plastic of a waeco(half the price and won't dent and scratch).I know engel have the reputation but this price exceeds most 80litre fridges.Maybe it is a top fridge to last 20 or so years anybody got one or know if it is good value over the previous model.
thanks marcus

Hi Marcus,
At that price $1499 for a 40L Fridge, I don't think there will be that many sold. Poor value compared to the standard Engel & Waeco.
The only rusting I have heard about on the standard Engel, was slight surface rust caused by moisture when using the transit bag. Engels I have seen that are many years old have NO rust (they get cleaned occasionally).
Maybe Engel are targeting a new market ? (BMW X5, Lexus etc)
