waeco seconds,

Bought our 80lt "second" from the fridge shop [gold coast] in january 2003 , has never missed a beat , ,, be prepared for an average of 60/64 amp hr usage per 24 hrs if using as freezer+fridge ,,, more if fridge only.

I bought one a year ago over the net,50 lt.Took 2 days from Brisbane.It had a scratch on the lid,that is why it was a second.
Very happy with it and the money I saved($300).

I live in Newcastle.TNT were the company that delivered the fridge.If you are not home they leave a slip to call them and make a time or you can pick it up at the depot.That is how they work down here.

I bought one of the older FF70s 5/6 years ago. $550 and has been one of the best bits of camping equip I've ever bought. Never missed a beat....now I've said that.......

Hello Peter, just had a memory surge after my follow up!! I seem to remember that when you buy from the shop as a superseded/ second, that the warranty is for a lesser period compared to the same unit being purchased from a retailer. Might pay you to check just in case that concerns you. Good luck.

Yeah - well warranty is for a lesser period, and not for the actual damage that made it a second in the first place...

but I have two CF80s doing fine after 2 years or so.. both had minor dents that made no impact on the use.

I bought a waeco cf40 from the seconds department about 2 years ago. They were really quick to deliver, and only reason it was cheaper was that it was a run out model, brand new still in the wrapping etc etc. only problem was that the warranty is only a one year warranty, despite being a run out model. i got caught with the faulty poly fuse problem which cost me 95 to repair, but apart from that great fridge, and they were pretty good in trying to sort the problem out with the poly fuse. They are a heap cheaper, but just be wary of the warranty of them, but a great fridge in my opinion.
