fridges again

Boo

is yours a cream colour with stainless steal inside.
Do you use it as a fridge or freezer. I nearly walked out of the place with it. With the good compressor (proven performer) and better insulation than other fridges and the 5 year warranty, it is a pretty good buy.

Good compressor as long as it's feed with the full load. This compressor doesn't like low voltages and will be damaged by such. The Engel swing compressor just keeps swinging with no harm done at 10 volts...not good for the battery though.

Freezer,

Yes its the cream coloured one, 70lt, we've been using it as a freezer as we also have a 50lt chescold which we use as a fridge. Has no trouble at all maintaining frozen state in 40+ degree weather.

We bought ours at a 4x4 show late last year for $1199 including an insulated bag.

They have low voltage protection..
Best fridge on the market!!
But i sell them under the Ruey Shing brand name who make the fridges.

Yeah they've got to have voltage protection and that's another source of problems, get a pin prick of fly dung on a connector and that's it...wont work.

are you talkin bout downunder fridge. What is ruey Shing?

Hi Freezer,

Yes Ruey Shing make the fridges and supply then to Downunder who rebadge them.

I have visited the factory where they are made in Taiwan they are built to last,this campany also make industrial fridges for over 30 years and supply Subway stores worldwide with refrigeration thay are the biggest importer and distributor of Danfoss compressors in Taiwan.

So they are exactly the same?what does a 50l cost, and what is there max current draw.Is there somewhere i can see them?
Cheers

When running they draw approx 3.4 amps i did test one a while back with temp set at 5c and ambient at 32c with 4litres of water inside it used 16ah pretty good !! Waeco was 18.6ah and Engel 26ah.

My retail price is $1000 so if you can get one for $850 go for it thats a bargain!!
Where are you located?

all sounds pretty damn good mate, i am thinking of going up there tonight and grabbing it $850 50L BARGAIN!

Was yours the cream one mate.(repco sell them) I have noticed reading back over old posts that some people are confusing the "down under" for the "Evacool downunder". It is really hard to make a desision on whether to get it as i am also very dissapointed for a bad purchase, especially when it costs $850(and that is considerd cheap) They are the same unit as the Reefer Traveller, just badged different. In a 4Wd monthly test on a heap of fridges the reefer was by far and away the worst performer re. power consumption. I am not sure whether this is the same fridge or what, or even if it is a reliable test, but in has pulled the reigns on me a tad.
Cheers

yep, cream from repco, 900 bucks, i'm a bit wary of the 70 litre version as it looks too hard to access the contents at the bottom of it...$850 for a 50 litre that no one bags , everybody praises with a 5 yr warranty vs 1000 bucks for a 40 litre
