Bought for $50 from some German backpackers.. Only had low lid and no collar. The internal of the fridge at the bottom had been cracked as there was no baskets and it had got water or fluid into the insulating foam, so it smelled bad and couldn't get rid of the smell. Spoke to Paul in Victoria, bought a new housing, extension collar and two baskets... Changed it all over myself and it hasn't been off for over a year now, lives in the ute or the shed always got coooooold beer. An awesome design will be buying another for the camper so we can run a fridge and freezer...

I've had my Bushman since 1999 and has been twice to the the tip of Cape York, Cooktown and surrounds three times, Karumba, Birdsville twice, Melbourne, the snow, Fraser Island and plenty of trip to Rainbow Beach and, it stays in my 100 series all the time and is great on shopping day.....and it like to keep my beer cold

I love it, it cools down fast, so quiet I really don't hear it running, and energy efficient. Lcd is so easy to read although it would help if it was a bit on an angel. After sales service and support is spot on. I'm buying another one. For my other 4x4.

I recently purchased the Bushman SC35-52 after considering the many other brands currently available. I had been using a thermoblock style fridge which consumes too much power and doesn't really perform well at all. The Bushman requires only a fraction of the power that my old fridge used and most importantly, it works really well. The lower profile ensured that it would fit in my camper van without compromising space. The after sales service from DP Refrigeration in Research, Victoria is tremendous. They are easy to contact and will resolve your questions and concerns quickly.

This fridge does excelent cooling and freezing whatever I need in the back of my 4x4 for 15 years. 40 litres easy to transport and holds drinks, fish, meat and icecream. Travels all over Oz as a son now lives in Darwin.
Now holds 50 littes with the addition of a collar to increase capacity, no problems.

Had Bushman SC35-52 since 2011 and very happy with it. Very versatile and it does a tremendous job. Noticed in early 2016 that it did not start when car wasn't running and determined that it cut out at 12.6V . It was starting fine when the car was running and it ran fine on 240V. Rang manufacturer in Research, Victoria and they said to come over with all the bits so they could test it. Went there the next day they did all the testing and I watched the whole process. Determined that the board which controls the thermostat was at fault. Exchanged the board (unfortunately out of warranty by several years) for $80 and explained to me all the workings. Confident now to do any repair jobs/replacements myself if I need to.

My bushman fridge is 16 years old & has not had an easy life it's first few years it floated freely around the car & the kids were ruff with it. Bushman to the rescue new feet latches power cord & recently on off switch it has travelled most of Australia & never missed a beat. Thanks Bushman brilliant product

I have owned my Bushman for seven years with no problems . Had a small problem with my fridge last month and I rang Paul in Victoria for advice and he helped diagnose the problem and sent the appropriate part the same day. I installed this when I received it. Fixed the fault and it is now working fine. I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Paul at Bushman's.

I purchased an SC35 around 15 Years ago and it is still going strong. On a couple of occasions there has been minor problems and the service (both in Sydney and Perth) has been second to none. As I spend time in remote locations I need my fridge to be totally reliable. Bushman quality means that I expect it to keep working which is a great confidence booster when you are outback.

Our Bushman fridge - mounted on the tray of our L/Cruiser ute, has been versatile (multiple capacities ) robust, simple to use, very efficient and its performance in extreme temperature and terrain conditions instils confidence in using it. - Excellent product . - (Our "outback " travel experience covers 35 years - and "a few fridges....") Bushman's "backup service, info. and spare parts " appears to be excellent as well but, baring accidents, we cannot see that we will ever need it.

Brilliantly versatile fridge. The extra lids are literally the best thing since sliced bread and allow you stack tons of stuff in there. Tough outside, market top condensor.

We've had ours 2 years. The only problem we've had is one of the clasps came loose due to me dropping a rock RIGHT on it. They sent me a replacement part no questions, no fuss, no cost. Fantastic service.

After 2 years she still whisper quiet. Still only draws a few amps to get down to -3 in a QLD summer. Still the best.

We have owned a Bushman fridge for several years. A great fridge and rapidly and economically fixed when we had a gliche with the thermostat. However, today we were totally blown away by the service of Bushman. We needed a replacement part and were provided with it free of charge and they would not even let us pay postage - we have told several friends and they wont believe we got this service. What a great Aussie company - now we will boast even more about our gem - thank you for making our day.
The biggest problem we have with the fridge is convincing our sons that they need to buy their own.
