They look the same as the Repco ones from looking at the catalog. A few of us here have the Repco one and they work
well. There have been duds but replaced no worries. I notice the Repco one now has a built in level bubble and a gas operating indicator on the top which are nice to have.
Mine is out the back as the overflow beer/soft drink fridge on 240 at the moment, have used it on gas, goes
well, not used on 12V, have the Engel for that. I think the Repco one is on special at the moment too, around the same price.

Jackeroo is like kmart
home brand. They would almost certainly be a rebadged fridge that probably pops up under different names at supercrap etc

the Kmart ones are exactly the same as the Repco ones, we bought one from Repco and haven't looked back, it's so nice not having things floating and having that bit extra room in the campers fridge. we too got ours out for the festive season which came in quite handy. we have used ours on all power sauces with no problems, would recomend to anyone. good luck.

Hi, we've had one of the Jackeroo fridges for over 12 months now, it works really
well off the 12v in the back of the subaru, and when running off the gas it will actually freeze stuff. The only problem we've had is a blocked gas jet so it wouldn't run on the gas. Only other hassle was the wind blowing the gas flame out one wild night when camping, but the food was still OK next morning. It has an emergency cut off for the gas if the flame goes out. I'd certainly recommend it for the price - wait till K-mart has one of their 15% off everything sales! Cheers, Tapdogs1.
