Old Engel Fridge

Hi

To my knowledge 15 litre was the smallest Engle made

Next size was 21 litre followed by 29 , 32, and the 39, 40 , 60 and 80 litre

But I will stand corrected





Cheers Teza

G'day, you may find it is the first of the thermo electric ones, not a compressor fridge?

the smallest engel fridge/freezer i have seen is i reckon 15litres.
but when i purchased my 40 litre it came with another small cooler which would be 8 litres, white in colour and uses more battery power than the 40l.
hope this helps cheers phil

Would a person "older than you" think in litres or gallons??

Thanks for the replies. I will go and have a look. Even if it is just to satisfy my own curiosity.

Jim,

The smallest engel is a MHFD-010, 10 litres, Sawafuji compressor and also has a heating element, two versions 20w and 30w heater.

All plastic housing, green box, white lid, available during the 1980`s.

A great unit, mine still works fine.

I bought my engel in '75. Its the original style with a steel cabinet,and the evaporator coil on the outside (on the back).
If I remember correctly it was a run-out model at the time, as they were also selling the new style 15/29/39 litre models at the same time

It is 14 litres in size & is still running well, in its 5th 4wd.

Cheers, Neil

G,Day All,
Just a follow up on my question.

Went and had a look today at the engel. It must have been one of the first off the production line. It had that slightly battered look due to a few long trips. Could be cleaned up a bit I suppose. The owner could not remember how long he had owned it. But he said it had been to Cape York a few times.

Size was hard but I guess it was about 15 litres as mentioned in the above replies. It was still working on 240volt but the owner had not had it on 12volt for quite some time. Probably be a reasonable and cheap fridge for someone (asking $60) but too old and too small for my use. Plus too noisy to sleep near,well for us anyway.

regards
Jim

Bought my first engel in mid 1976 for $182.35 - about 29lt on todays measurement. Still have the original receipt and warranty papers. Still going strong and has never been regassed. I have purchased a new engel 40lt but think I will not get the same amount of years on this one as the old one. Larry
