Evening all,
Have just listed the 32 ltr Engel for sale in the trader section and I am looking for any specials for a 40 ltr ( Need to stay in the bush longer) in the
Sydney to
Newcastle area.
Very happy with Engel and I will stay with that brand.
I know about the rivalry with other brands, I just like the Engel.
Cheers

Rays here in
Melbourne have a sale on and for a change there is a reduction on Engel. You could use this reduced price to leverage the beat any price by 10% offered by Anaconda if they have stores in NSW.

Why don't you buy a Twozone which which will fit on top of the 32 litre and increases the capacity to 55 litre. I have this set-up and it works
well.

Nah Mate,
Too hard to get to the paddle pops.
We have a larger need with the kids and need to freeze more tucker.

That is wthe whole idea of the Twozone. You run the Engel as a Freezer and the second 'zone' becomes your fridge. The Twozone has its own basket and latch and you can lift it to get to the frozen stuff and it is removable. THis gives youy 32 litre space for freezing and 23 litres of fridge space.
Go have a look at them

55 litres will not be enough.
I have a 17 years son who eats more than I do let alone princess, hence we need more food .
We already run a 40 ltr as a fridge and I am going to buy another 40 ltr as a freezer.
80 ltrs may just get us by.

Not getting into a brand war, but a question arises, will a 40 Lt fridge give you enough storage space with both fridge and freezer compartments, with "kids" as you will loose some fridge space

Willem,
That is why I am going to buy a 40 ltr freezer, see the original question.
And mind you at dinner time keep your arms away from the fire.
The little one are feral.

Thanks guys,
Just a little expensive as I already have a 40ltr fridge.
If push comes to shove I will keep the 32 ltr and look at other food sources.

Repco have a range of Engels on sale at the moment as part of their Father's Day specials. Were all in their most recent catalogue that was in the mailbox a few days back.

The engels at Repco are, I believe, rack standard price, the "special" is you get the engel winter pack of 8L cooler/warmer, cap, stickers, etc, worth "$300",
well if they'd just take $300 off the price of each model damn it I'd buy one straight away ...

...or if they'd throw in the transit bag instead of the $300 worth of el-crapola.

Got the MT-45 (40L) with Transit Cover and freebie winter pack from
BCF Darwin for $1199 about 6 odd weeks ago. Worth a crack at wheeling and dealing for the same bargain again, especially if you're a
BCF member.

Blue one,
G'day, as a fellow 40ltr Engel user, trying to get my head round your requirements.
Your selling a 32, you have a 40, you want another 40 for more food. You currently run one as fridge one as freezer.
so is an extra 8ltrs really going to make a difference?
Ever thought on a decent esky to back it up, run your 2 engels as freezers, deposit daily food in esky, keeps cold as defrosting.
I run my 40ltr as freezer, take good esky as fridge, can stay out for about 5 days. 4 of us.
I would have thought your 40 as a freezer, full, and your 32 as fridge would keep 4 going, how long you staying out for?
Rgds

I just bought one of the new 'plastic' Engels the MR40F, very happy with it, and it only cost me $899, has the same internals with a polycarboate
shell.
Maybe these could be worth a look?
