I can't believe it. I bought a Waeco!

That's right folks.

I am a satisfied owner of an Engel 40 litre fridge which has given me total reliability for some 8 years and still going strong. Then I go out and buy a Waeco???

OK, let's set things straight:-)

With my new dual cab ute, the fridge and big esky is separated from the cabin and therefore cannot be accessed when travelling. This annoyed SWMBO as she likes a little bourbon and coke now and again while we are travelling. But one needs to keep the cans cold yeah?

So I have just come back from BCF with a 13 litre Waeco Cool-Ice Icebox. Just the right size to hold a six pack of Jack Daniels plus a couple of cokes and water for the driver.

Was intending to get the 22 litre size but after viewing it decided on the more practical 13 litre size.

As for the insulating properties, I haven't even got it wet yet so that "review" will have to wait.

The Icebox is definitely superior to the plastic boxes you get from Woolies, etc., being made from UV stabilised, food grade polyethylene with "refrigeration grade" foam insulation.

I really don't expect a long life for the ice inside this tiny box, but as long as it keeps herself happy for the outward trip at least, we can "top up" from the bigger Evakool Icebox in the back. The ice in this lasts 5-7 days on average.

The things one must do hey!


Bill.
