This is a comment from one of the Mods shortly after I set the Poll up.

Yeah just had a look and no option to vote a second time . This may be because I have previously voted, as stated in the quote you added once you hit vote its locked in. I will try logging out and back in to see what happens.
tried that and still no option to add second vote unless I am missing something.

What? No mention of a 35 year old 3 way Companion Norseman Model 3150? Still going as good as gold (or should that be cold) after all those years.

What about a bright orange 3 way FINCH, about 25 years old, still looks like new and works fine.

Does anyone know of or has heard a report on the 'WAECO' 55 litre being sold on eBay?  The buyers all seem happy in their posted comments.

It looks exactly like a WAECO but has no brand name on it . The seller claims it is produced in the WAECO factory,and has all WAECO parts.

$399 +$75 freight.

I assume you know that is a 3 way fridge, not a 12/24v compressor type fridge, for a 3 way they are probably alright, but 3 way fridges are only ever average when compared to the compressor variety.

We have had ARB 47l fridge for a year and half now and its great, last xmas 4 weeks in the bush at 43c and did not
miss a beat. It gets used twice a month for weekends away, a mate of mine has a waeco 38 about 5 years old and the ARB is the same size on the outside but heaps bigger on the inside he is upgrading this xmas to the ARB fridge.

We have used it as a freezer a few times and its great kept frozen on battery power with no problems at all.

Cheers

I just swapped a bottle of Chivas Regal for a fridge and freezer. I don't know the brand or sizes but I was given the scotch by a supplier so as freebies I guess I cant go wrong....unless they are absolutely crap and all our food goes off and I then have no scotch to drown my sorrows

I have a Reefer Professional 70 Litre Fridge/Freezer, it's predecessor the REEFER DT50 was nominated as the fastest freezing fridge available.

4WD Action Magazine did a huge review of the main portable Fridge/Freezer Manufacturers in Australia and is the most comprehensive review I’ve seen.

The fridges tested were:
* ARB – MT45FARB
* BUSHMAN
* ENGEL MT45
* EVAKOOL RF47-DT
* EVAKOOL RF85-DT
* EXPLORER DC-56
* EXPLORER DC-70
* REEFER DT50
* REEFER ST70
* VITRIFRIGO C41
* VITRIFRIGO C65
* WAECO CF-40
* WAECO CF-80

Testing was carried out at the Australian Defence Industries facility in a National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) approved, climate-controlled chamber. 
The fridges were loaded with the exact same contents and were all powered with the same custom leads and plugs.

The Reefer has been added to the Poll options Mainey for your vote.

How long ago was the test done, as the new ARB fridges have been out for quite a while now?

How do I choose a second one?   :)   We just bought a Weaco CF40 to use as a freezer and leave the ARB in the Tug as a Fridge....

And the Waeco 40 was the best at keeping the temp not ever going 1c either side of set temp and was the best for power consumption for it's size.

And very quite compared to the new ARB fridge....   I still prefer the look and feel of the ARB though...

Airbornebadger, I'm not sure how to get the "Remove Vote" option in the poll area.  I've noticed some polls come up with this option, and some don't.  Perhaps a Moderator would be able to help out here.

Last time I tried to alter things on a poll, I ended up resetting all the votes to zero.

Older style Engel 40L, generally run off a 12V outlet hardwired in the back of the Jeep and connected directly to the aux battery.  Hasn't missed a beat :D

Waeco 37l in the back of the Grand Vitara.  Works a treat and is perfect for our needs (so far).

Ice box/esky at the moment but SWMBO is getting sick of this idea (woo hoo  ;D) I will probably get a 70 litre Evakool Fridgemate so it fits under the stupid hardcover on the MN Triton.

I have been investigating fridges for a while now and settled with a 110l Evakool. Was tempted with a 60l Engel but the Evakool was $100 cheaper, 10kg or so lighter and as have a Evakool icebox which is brilliant, the fridge could only be good too.
gave it it's maiden voyage over Christmas with 4 days beach camping on the south coast. Excellent. The white colour keeps its surface cool even when it was in full sun for a while. Unlike Engels and Wacoes, being darker.
