Yet another fridge question....
« on: September 29, 2011, 09:20:34 AM »
Just wondering if any my swaggers have bought or know someone who has one of these.....

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-80L-PORTABLE-FREEZER-FRIDGE-caravan-camping-fishing-/270813597828?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item3f0dbf9084

Most other ebay no name fridges dont talk about amp draw but these guys do.... wondering whether it might be ok?

As a fridgie, the comment about the "specially fitted non-return valve" makes me laugh. Literally millions of domestic  fridges use the crimp and solder method of sealing the system. Schrader valves are handy for repairs but from new, most are crimped and soldered.

Seems a good price. "Japanese designed" though ?? Made where?

Looks an interesting setup, I've been using a Reefer F/F for many years, they look similar in internal design, however the Reefer has stainless steel cabinet internal walls with the actual inner cabinet walls being cooled, where it appears the inner walls in the photo don't appear to be stainless steel??

But at the $600 price nominated on the EO website it could be a realistic risk, as the mechanicals shown in the various photos look pretty good - quality wise.
