This is one of the worst fridges I have had the misfortune to own.
At home in December while prepping for a trip in August it cut out on 12v because the weather was too hot for it to handle.
On our recent outback trip it couldnt handle the rattling/shaking or dust of the first track and failed after just one day, luckily we were heading for Broken hill.

At Broken Hill we jettisoned the Waeco and bought an Engel to replace it, the Engel never missed a beat on a 2 week trip on below average gravel roads.

Save your money and buy Engel.

After second use noticed it was leaking on a join next to the compressor. So when I got home, I put it on the bench (not plugged in) put about 30mm of water in the bottom, checked it the next day and water had leaked out. So I took it in to the Dometic factory Varsity Lakes. They said its not meant to have water in it and to expect it to leak?? So you buy a $100 esky and expect it not to leak but buy one for $1400 an expect a leak? So if you accidentally have water just above the join which is about 20 mm from the bottom it will leak. Great product..!!

I’ve has my Waeco CFX 50 for nearly 4 years now and I love it! It does exactly as asked and is more than ample to do the job. Fits plenty for a family of 3 for even long trips!

It is, however, very power hungry. My old ARB 78L fridge used less power to do the same job.

Points of note:
They like good power connections, so upgrade to Anderson plugs for your power lead.
They cycle a lot more than other fridges.
The lid is light, so sometimes you need to press it down to close it properly.
The USB charge point is extremely good to charge devices.

I’d buy another. I use mine heaps, it’s a great fridge, just need a big battery if you use it.

Fridge gets down to temp then turns off ( like it should ). Then once it comes to restart, if the input voltage is about 12.1v, it will not restart - despite the battery monitor being set to low, with a cut out voltage of 10.1v and a restart voltage of 11.1. Service agent couldn’t find a fault, Waeco don’t return emails and BCF are washing their hands of it ( not that they have ever been any help because I had to deliver it to the service agent ). Cannot find any schematics for the power circuits so I can try and repair it myself. I’ve had this problem for at least 2 years and it’s been to the repairer twice since I bought it.
I don’t know what my next fridge will be, but it won’t be a Waeco and it won’t be from BCF.

This is our fourth Waeco unit over 10 years, and the best yet. I seriously cannot fault this one at all. We previously ran a dual zone 80 fridge/freezer Waeco which was great, but with only one lid the freezer section was continuously exposed and prone to icing up. This new unit solves that with a separate lid for each section. The unit is divided into two, each with its own cooling capabilities. This means you can run either end as the fridge or freezer depending on your needs. The unit is also wi-fi capable, which means you can run the app and monitor and change the temp for each compartment from the driver’s seat-brilliant! This unit is the best!

Keeps our drinks icy cold. We take our Waeco to work with us. We also have taken it on the road when we travel up north for work. It keeps our food and drinks fresh for days. It has never let us down. This is one of our best purchases

the fridge worked well for 3 years 2 weeks then runs for a few hours and stops cooling turn it off,wait several hours turn it on and it does the same thing contacted dometic and was told "you cant expect it to run forever". their customer service is rubbish like their fridges

Disappointed that this Waeco fridge only lasted 3 years, paid $1,399.
Very little use, now the fridge doesn’t get cold...nobody seems keen to even look at it or repair it. Service people said go & buy a new fridge.
I have left phone messages & emailed Waeco regarding the faulty fridge...still waiting for a reply!

Had it for my 25 day road trip working off my dual battery system on the car and worked perfectly, kept the beer cool and the food fresh. Fits fine on the back of the Patrol and managed to take the banging of some off road bumps like a champ. Also never managed to fully drain the battery so battery draw is as low as prommissed.

Bought this over three years ago and hasn't missed a beat. I've had in the back of a 4x4 for three weeks straight in summer and never flattened my second battery and kept my food and drinks cold. cools down fast and is light enough to easily lift into the back of my 4x4. I would recommend this fridge whole heartedly

On all aspects this unit has for four years now exceeded all expectations. My first time out was a trip of 12000 k's over 13 weeks in temperatures from 40+ to -4 never missed a beat and numerous trips since the same, if this one ever fails I've more than got my monies worth

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

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.

Bought this fridge just over a year ago to use in our truck, returned today as it didn't work anymore, wouldn't offer us a loan fridge and told us fridge would not be repaired for six weeks, so do yourselves a favor and buy an Engel as I just did.

Had it for almost 4 years (CFX 65). Used daily for work, camping and at home via 240v when the wife goes OTT with the shopping. Love it, absolutely one of my best purchases, worth it's worth in gold.
At the time the purchase felt lik a gamble but geez, that gamble's paid off.
