I'm in the market for a new fridge/freezer- and was checking out the Waeco range at Rosehill last nite.
Anyone out there using the 50l Dual-Zone??
Is it worth coz of the compromise in the space?? From observation it seems you don't really get good freezer space or fridge space??
However, if any users can comment- would be appreciated !!

We were in the market for the Waeco 50lt dual zone for the important things - keep the beer cold and the bait frozen!
We ended up going with the eva-kool 47lt dual zone, seems a bit more robust than the Waeco with the same compressor. Has a bit more freezer space and still holds over a block of beer in the fridge with room to spare.
We had an 80lt dual zone waeco before that and had no problems with it - just got a bit big to be lugging around.

Have had a Waeco 50 litre for 3 years: I frankly think it's pretty ordinary. Next time will get Engel. Cheers, RayJen

We use a 50 DZ as
well. We also have a 60ltr The DZ is OK. We use it to freeze a few ice blocks and bread as it's hard to keep bread where we are. I run ours at -14 and that seems to work for us. They do take a while to cool the drinks down though as there is no evaporator in the fridge part relying on a transfer from the freezer. But that's why we have the 60 as
well :-)

Ive had a ARB 47L for 12 mths now, and im telling you the internal space works better than a waeco. Freezer space is temp set. all, part or all fridge. Im very happy with it. Equal or better stats than the waeco or all the others and its enough for a family of 4 or a big weekend away with the mates and has been
well thought out (feature wise).
Get an ARB there great. (no i don't work for them i ve done the research).
