Works ok but.....
Bought this at Xmas based on reviews. Used it in the new year 2022 (at home) - works well. Attains temperature very quickly. Have not used wifi yet.
But.....
I was carrying the fridge downstairs to my garage to fit it in my pajero. Handle (furthest away from compressor) literally came apart in my hand x5 times there and back. Yes I could reattach it, but the fridge was empty - what if it was full? It is supposed to be also strong enough to use as a tie-down point. I love the unit, I really do but the handle coming apart without warning in my hand multiple times?
If I am doing something wrong please let me know, but this leaves a bitter taste considering the cost of an otherwise 'top notch' unit.

Affordable high quality
Save yourself lots of $$ and get this model fridge for camping. It is half the price of the competitors yet has the same capacity and same length of warranty on it. Quick to get to low temps and has wifi control options for easy use. Handles both sides so can set up camp without having to work around which way the fridge opens!

Best Bang for your Buck
I did my research on the TMX 35 (38L) and compared with all other options out there. It simply came down to 'Bang for your Buck' & it's Aust. wide 5 year warranty. The either end opening lid system, WiFi App, cable compartment (surprise discovery not mentioned in brochures) and cover meant it had more features for much less than the expensive brands and better quality and warranty/service options than the cheaper ones.
OPERATION: After plugging in the fridge on 240V and adding a few cold and warm items I set it for 5C, which it reported it ac...Read more
hieved in around 20 mins (32C external temp). I used a fridge thermometer to confirm this, placing it halfway up the basket and in the middle away from the cold walls. As expected, and like all other fridges 12V fridges I've had, it was out by around 5C, so I know to set it at around 0C to get 5C and so on. The compressor runs quiet with only a little noise that isn't intrusive. The one feature I wanted and got with the App was the ability to switch the fridge on and off remotely, great for a change of mind while your driving. Also runs perfect on 12V achieving the same cooling times from start up as on 240V. I've only had the unit for about 2 months now and at this point can't foresee the future in terms of reliability. But I did check out the closest competitor product at a local retailer the day before ordering and there is no doubt that the TMX is equal too and even better in some areas in terms of build quality. The Danfoss compressor has one of the best names around so I'm quietly confident this unit will deliver for a long time to come. Very happy with the TMX so far and can't justify spending nearly double on the others. UPDATE: April 5th, 2018 So after 6 months the TMX has not missed a beat. I use it at least 2 times a week as I live 35K's from the closest supermarket - great for those frozen items, nothing has thawed on the way home. And I've had it running for day's on end with two return trips to Melbourne from QLD and a week away camping.2 comments
It's a great Australian product - well done! The latest dual zone version looks awesome and more practical so looking at upgrading in the near future. Q: I was also looking at adding a 40l draw versio... Read more

Good morning Anne-Maree, There are a few different reasons you may see an orange light. If the run light is orange and there is nothing on the display the fridge is in standby mode and needs to be turned on. If the run light has changed to orange and the fridge is cold then it has just cycled off and will restart once the temperature raises a few degrees. If the error light is flashing count the number of flashes and refer to your user manual for troubleshooting. If you are still having issues please either call us on 07 5492 7777 or email [email protected] for assistance.

Hi there... This model is not released until next month. So no one could answer your questions as yet. I have the previous model and have still had no issues. No matter the brand, things can go wrong even with great reviews. So best to base part of your decision on the support feedback.
