EvaKool ED40

Evakool ED40 is a plastic box not built to the same standard is fiberglass fridge.
I believe it was sold by Engel called Engel lite a few years ago. Will find out if it is still sold.

Carac in Dandenong have one in stock, I think it is quite heavily reduced in price too. I have one & it is an excellent fridge.

Yep, I've got one,paid $680 for it with the 240v thingy. Great value for money, very good insulation and very low current draw. If you find one, buy it!

Hi Ferret

thanks for the info. How long have you had the fridge for? You said it has very good insulation, I assume it is as good (or better) as Waeco or Engel?

Got an email from Evakool they said they have a couple of demo units for $599

Evacool make the best ice boxes in the business so you'd expect their fridge insulation to be pretty good! The BD35 comp. is very quiet and once you experiment with the thermostat and partitions, you will find that you will have a VERY good F.F. that does exactly that. Your meat ect is frozen solid and your beer, milk vegies etc are spot on without freezing. One more thing, they pull down to temp. very quickly and aren't bothered if you fill them up with warm stuff.
At that price buy it!

Hi Zapper,
I bought one last July from a Boots camping store (Great Outdoors), last July.
It went to Broken Hill along the Darling River Run and via White Cliffs, and kept everything cool.

It runs pretty quietly. I like some others here, am relying on the rep of the Danfoss compressor to guarantee the quality and reliability. Time will tell. It takes a little juggling of the thermostat to get the settings right and not freeze the milk/beer/eggs :). The insulation is first class with no loss of cooling for a long time after powering it down, the cig lighter adapter had slipped out of the socket and went unnoticed for a fair time, while we were away from the car exploring

good fridge buy one and enjoy
cheers
