Fridge Compressors - Danfoss vs Domus

I guess it was a statement looking for opinions from others confirming or denying it.

Waeco has the Danfross in their main range but also have a cheaper range with a Chinese compressor, not sure if it is Domus or not. I spoke with a Waeco rep who told me that the Chinese ones will achieve the same temps as the Danfross units but have a 2 year instead of 5 year warranty and are not as frugal on the power consumption

Hi.
I don't know about the Rep.
But a few I know have the cheaper ones.
And they aren't as effiient or quiet as the Danfoss.
In the heat,
Plus DO run longer to get the same temp's.

Macka17, I probably did not say it very clearly but your experience is what he was saying........
They do the job but not as well, Danfross is a better unit

The Chinese compressor is fitted to the CDF-11, CDF-35, CDF-45 and CF-18 as stated in the Waeco website.

CoolFreeze, Australia’s most popular compressor fridge/freezer range keeps your food and drinks cold or frozen, even in the blistering heat and owes its outstanding cooling performance to powerful Danfoss BDF compressors (except CDF-11/35/45 & CF-18).
