I use this fridge daily, it sits next to me at home. If I have to travel then it goes in the back of the wagon. I have found it reliable even in hot situations in the back of the wagon. I use a BT monitor on my car battery and have found it to be fairly economical. (I drive a 2l Mondeo diesel). Even after 3 days of car not moving everything is frozen and I can still start my car.

When it was working it did a good job, was taken during summer most weekdays for food and drinks inside sedan, 3rd summer and 3 Flashing light error code started, ambient temp too high or something the book said. Don’t waste your money no matter if they are cheaper I have and will now buy an Engel that drive around on station utes year in year out.

We bought our Evakool Glacier 30L fridge/freezer (model BCD-30) about 3 years ago when caravanning (in the vain hope of filling it, if the fish were biting). We took it on several relatively short trips (sealed roads only), and since we sold the caravan it has been stored in our laundry, unused. When we decided to bring it out to chill drinks for a recent party, it wouldn't cool. The verdict from the marine refrigeration specialist? The aluminium refrigerant pipe or pipes had corroded; because these pipes were hidden inside the double wall of the unit, the fridge was unrepairable. It is now landfill - DON'T buy one!
