not a very happy experience

published

bought a evakool g75 fridge in november 2016 . failed in febuary 2020 with the explanation being it has no gas because of a leak somewhere.was taken to chinchilla service while under warranty because i thought it was taking to long to cool down, over an hour to bring it down 4 degrees with outside temp of 6 degrees with no fault found.this fridge was not in the back of a ute and no rough treatment as it is in a caravan that does not move however there is no warranty so i have to spend another thousand dollars to replace.asked the evakool service guy if you would expect a fridge to last more than 3 years and told he could not say. id have to say that i am not very happy with the product at this time and would not recommend

Be careful of buying the "Extreme Battery Box" Incredibly dangerous....

published

The facts are that the fridge slide went over a light lead coming out of one of the cigarette ports. There is no safety cut off on the battery box and the cord got so hot that set the milk crate on fire. I was incredibly lucky I saw the smoke so could put out before the whole family went up in smoke. Now 4 months later the DC/DC controller has stopped working which is only just over 2 years old but of course out of warranty. I spent a fortune on the best setup they had which has been a massive mistake. I've always loved the products I have bought from Australian Direct for many years and just feel ripped off.

Kick ass food vacuum. Failed to seal, failed to vacuum. Had to physically press down on unit for the vacuum to operate. Seal breaks apart easily one end. The one bag that it eventually worked on lost vacuum over night. Shop elsewhere.

The Ultimate Dual Battery System Education Video

published

We just watched the - "The Ultimate Dual Battery System Education Video" in full from start to finish. 1 Hour 6 minutes and 51 seconds. Thought I would get bored within the first five minutes as with other similar videos on the same general topics. Whereas others included personal feeling over and over again. This Video was Soooooo informative and explained the whole steps with examples and different ways to complete a specific task. The time went in a flash.
Thank-you for taking the time to complete the Video. Great effort. Well Done.

Great Service

Have purchased two products now, a BCDC battery charger and a battery box, for two separate installs, great service and price, fast shipping. The pre wired versions of the products make it easy to wire everything up as well.

If the fridge slide is as good as my battery set up I got a few years ago I will be happy.
Would buy more but I’m married,I think that may explain why I don’t.

poor warranty service

published

I purchased a red box 12v battery power supply unit and the DCDC charger stopped recharging the battery through the vehicle or my solar panel. The unit was returned over a month ago and the response to my concerns have remained unanswered. My request for a refund has not been met. A $1,500 boat anchor that is now not even in my possession. This company needs to focus on customer service and communication. Poor show for a promise to give customer satisfaction.

WARRANTY MEANS NOTHING

published

we bought a unizone fridge 6 months ago. It has been playing up so we bought a new battery. the fridge is faulty. we lost a fridge full of food. The Warranty means nothing - they are trying to tell us how to fix it over the phone. It still doesnt work. disgusting customer service and i would not recommend Australian Direct or their products to anyone

Warranty claims a farce

published

Bought a kickass extreme battery box and the DC to DC charger will not operate on solar, I purchased a new solar panel on the off chance mine was not right but it makes no difference. Is a faulty unit and I've had 4 different people email me, and not one returned call, I've rang 3 times and just getting a run around. Absolute disgrace.

Excellent little oven

published

After looking at the opposition’s ovens I decided on the KickAss Travel Oven as the price was within my budget.
Best Buy ever!!!
Great finished and well put together. At 180 degrees I could still pick it up.
Love the sprung door lock.

Can’t believe how much food it can cook. The Anderson plug is great as my first trip was thru some rugged terrain and it didn’t skip a beat.
Roast turkey and veg came out perfect first time round.
Pasta bake on 2nd trip was also great.
Looking forward to trying more recipes soon.

Awesome fridge 75L

published

Most everything I've bought through Australian direct has been awesome. You can tell that they have put some actual thought into their products and what people actually use them for. The one issue that I’ve been having is with the fridge baskets they seem they tend to rust quite quickly on their base. I’ve had a replacement set sent to me which I was more than happy about but they also were starting to show signs of rust.

First purchase was the KickAss shower tent, had a few queries regarding express delivery and the online chat service was fantastic and very helpful. Item arrived in a good time! Good quality product at a great price.
Received a $20 voucher recently so I have now just purchased the Hot Shower System! Can't wait to use this on our upcoming trip!

How long will a kickass portable battery pack be able to power the premium led light kit included in the kit? I plan to do 4 nights camping and using only that for lighting

1 answer
Australian Direct
Klaeton S.Australian Direct

Hi, thanks for your query! It depends on the dimmer setting you run it on and if you are using all elements of the kit. On max power it will last about 4 hours. Hope this helps. Please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team on 07 3123 4715 if we can assist you any further :)

Hi guys, my missus bought me the IDC25 Battery charger and I would like to know if when putting anderson plugs on the wires do you just run extra wires from the single earth wire to accommodate the wires needed for the plug?

Hi Mate, yes you will just have to splice the main earth 3 ways. Please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team on 0731234715 with any further queries.

When you say splice I take it you dont use solder in case it transfers heat to the circuit board.
