Great Fridge, cools to 4 degrees in 30 mins

published

Bought this fridge for my regular road trips with mates, it was a little bigger than I wanted but it's so good at keeping things cool and it's super quiet. Love the compartments and the fact that it cools to 4 degrees within 30 mins. Its also very energy efficient, I ran it for 4 days constant using my 130ah battery and the battery was still at 55% at the end of the trip.

Purchased in April 2021 for $750.00.

Save and get an Engel

published

Have had this for 2 years and it lives in the back of my Ranger 4x4. I am building a house on weekends and also use it for shopping.
Doesn’t handle heat above 40c. Turns off.
This is Australia and it gets hot, so manufacturer should tell us about that limitation.
I paid over $800 and also bought the cover that is perishing quickly.
Will sell it on Gumtree and get a 40 litre dual zone Engel.

Small but impressive, packed properly hold heaps!

So happy with the performance of this fridge/freezer. By adjusting the temp can be used as a fridge or a freezer. If using it as a freezer there is a small area where something can be moved too, to defrost. The item has folding handles both ends to enable it to be carried easily. Mine is used as a second fridge/freezer in a Motorhome and is small enough to sit neatly under the table. The digital control is easy to set once you understand how the settings. It cools quickly and maintains the temperature well. Works on 240v/12v

Absolutely perfect

published

We brought this portable fridge/freezer as a secondary freezer in a Motorhome, when required. Depending on the the temperature setting could be used as a fridge or freezer. Easy to set digital pad, can be used 240v or 12v. Easy to move about and in our situation fits under the table. Gets to the set temp in a timely manner and the compressor only kicks in to keep it there.

CFX 28 (28.2L)

My fridge compressor works and is cooling (to freezing) but the digital display does not function at all. There are no error messages - its show nothing as if it was off. Any ideas. Maybe i just replace the display pcb board. They are about AUD $90.00 Idea's.

CFX 28 (28.2L)

Good morning,

I own a Waeco CFX 50 and CFX 40 both purchased during 2022. Happy with purchases thus far.

I am contemplating purchase of a CFX 28 to be used as a LONG TERM, permanent freezer running on around -10 to -15 degrees every day. Mostly on 240V AC but also on 12/24V DC.

I live in FNQ and part of the year in NT.

Please advise/confirm or otherwise suitability of CFX 28 for the above application. When touring ambient temps in vehicle may exceed 35 deg. C.
Any suggestions re modifications/improvements you care to make would be welcome.

Thank you for responding. Cheers, Mike

The CFX series can cools up to -50 deg. C of ambient temps
I live in tropical country (Malaysia) with ambient temps exceed 35 deg. C. It can easily sustain between -10 to -15 deg. C
I have to give more time (1-2 days) for the CFX to settle between -18 to -22 deg. C. Less time if you pre-cool the CFX and your food.

CFX 28 (28.2L)

My brand new fridge runs on 240v, but not 12v. Tried multiple cig sockets plus checked power sources and are all good. Anyone else had this problem? Cut out is low, plenty of voltage getting through.

Think it could be the 12v lead mine didn’t work. Tried another 12v lead worked fine
