Waceo or Engel ?

A lot of people I know around here that travel some slighty rough roads (Kununurra) have been buying a fridge called a downunder..Bit like the old engel's. they have a danfoss pump and no electronics and seem to last.

Mr YOYO,

Whichever one you buy will be the best one on the market.....

I have a Nissan Patrol and an EvaKool ED40 Fridge and they are the best things ever invented and marketed in this or any other country bar none.

Joe Bloggs has a Landcruiser and an Engel and they are the best things ever invented and marketed in this or any other country bar none.

Fred Smith has a Pajero and a Waeco and they are the best things ever invented and marketed in this or any other country bar none.

I think there is no correct answer to this question. You just have to suck it and see like the rest of us.... and whichever one you choose, you will find it is the best thing ever invented and marketed in this or any other country bar none.

We have a Waeco CF 50. We have had it for about 4 years to date not one single problem. We are very happy with it but we might be one of the lucky ones

"Waeco or Engel?" ...............Now there's a question I'm surprised hasn't been asked before!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi ozyoyo,

I think I read something about this on here some time ago.

Get a brew, put your feet up and enjoy some reading:

Waeco - Engel debates

Most people seem happy with which ever one they have.

Just buy the best you can afford and then don't look at any others!!!!

Neither if you WANT the BEST

Dont buy a fridge at all,

Drink black coffee or tea, and warm beer, the poms love it, and finally, just eat beef jerky, and burger rings!

Engel is better than Waeco!

There is no "best", only what serves your purpose in your price range. Both fridges you nominated have good and bad points, it is up to you to do a bit of investigating and to see if you are a "good fit" for one or the other.

Quite simply, we cannot tell you which is "best" as you have given NO indication of its intended use. If we did in fact tell you which to buy, and it turned out to not suit you needs who are you going to blame????? Not really a fair and reasonable question when you look at it that way, is it?

Money can pay for everything except intelligence. Do your homework and work out what suits YOU. Take note of the other brands that have been mentioned here too.

well we had them both running side by side on the weekend and the main difference was the noise they made. While the Engle made a periodic quite hum the waeco made fairly loud rythmetic gasping sounds like a pervert at the window - reeeely started getting on my nerves

Waeco is the better fridge in my opinion, looks more modern, weighs less, has an interior light, uses less power, is cheaper to purchase, wont rust and has always supplied me with ice cold beer. One of the best additions we made to our camping setup. Don't let them tell you dearer is better, the engel owners try to justify there purchase with that one every time.

Performance wise they are about the same, so have a look at the features and price and enjoy your new fridge..
