I have put a few posts up on product review australia "www.productreview.com.au" and some dill put on this review about the 13L engel:

"The good: its heavy enough to land at the bottom of the rubbish at the tip

The bad: all these fridges yhat run on 12 volt cannot keep food within its safe temperature zone. If u put your food in one of these on 'warm' any bacteria already in the food will start to multiply by double every hour.

Overall: I predict legal battles, this is a serious issue. I only hope they put some info regarding safe food handling in the box. Safe storage temps for food are below about 5 deg.celcius to 65 deg.celcius"

I don't even own an engel and put up a post correcting this dill, feel free to support me. This is the sort of thing that is really unfortunate on the internet, and i am only posting this cause i am the only one on that site to so far challenge this misinformed person and i think for reliability it needs more than one, u can win prizes too but i haven't (and my hotmail address has not been swamped by their emails).

Don't worry about it Porl. The internet is full of misinformation, lies, half truths, bulldust and stardust. Anyone who acts upon reading one report will sonner or later come a cropper.

Of course its all true!. Please excuse this short reply, the Captain informs me my jet is about to enter some turbulence and I have to call my driver to make sure he has the limo ready, then it's off to my Movie studio to check on the latest production.....

I drove past the laundrette the other day and there was a lone guy using a pay internet thing, and I said to the wife I bet he's on there saying "I am writing this from my yacht"....pfft, I even heard some people say Toyotas were better than Nissans...just where will the lies end?

Mate there will always be detractors coming out of the woodwork somewhere with an axe to grind

I have 15lt plastic bodied Engel, now 20 years old.

It has never been serviced or repaired (by a technician) though I had to make some alterations to the power supply.

It still freezes food even on a short run to our larger towns(130km)
