I upgraded from a smaller CF series Waeco and firstly love the digital display and the increase in space. The fridge is easy to fill being so tall so never have to try cram stuff in sideways. The features built in like battery protection and emergency override are great features. It doesn't seem to chew much power at all when I had it set on 1 degree in middle of summer on the back of my ute, still had plenty of juice left in 110Ah battery even after few days. It feels like solid construction and cops a flogging on the back of my ute. I definitely recommend getting one if your looking for a portable fridge freezer

OK so I have used this once, on the mains power overnight when I first got it, worked fine, 3 months down the track went to use it again on mains power and nothing no power, however powers up via 12volt not sure if it cooled but. It did not even work on emergency mode via mains. So I'm thinking the 240v supply circuit is stuffed. After one use!! Does not fill me with confidence. And no its not the fuse or cord.

My CFX50 had been sitting in the back of my dual cab for 18 months until it was stolen.(smashed the window).
But it worked beautifully, never missed a beat. Travelled the Simpson and many numerous trips camping trips.
Plenty of room for food and drinks, never used as a freezer only on fridge at a constant 1%. Hooked up to a 100 amp dual battery.

UPDATE-
purchased a cheaper fridge only lasted 6months,
Bought another cfx 50. Should have stuck with my tried and tested fridge

I purchased at RAY's Outdoor 2013 in that year I put in my mini bus commuter keeping -6 degrees all time and traveled to Cooktown Normanton Karumba Mount Isa Boulia Longreach back to Burke and Home in Sydney with no problem. In mid 2015 I put my CFX50 running with a spared battery in hired ISUZU 4WD and traveled to central Australia around Simpson Desert starting from Tibooburra, Cameron Conner, Innamincka Birdsville, Boulia, Alice Springs, Gosses Bluff,Kings Canyon, Uluru, Coober Pedy, Williams Town, Maree, Broken Hills and Home. It covered around 3,000 Kms on Dirt Road with no problem with my CFX50 by running 6 degrees below zero.

Seen nothing but issues with the old CF waecos and was turned off. I tried to purchase every other brand but as my ute tray was low I was stuck with the CFX40. I decided to give it a crack and got it for 899 at tent world. Been a great fridge no issues yet (3mnths) and is left on 24/7 on my ute dual battery. Had it running at 0deg in 55 deg temp in the back of my ute for the week and didnt fault. Not that thirsty on amps either. Impressed so far.

Fantastic quality Waeco fridge by Donetic. We have had ours running non stop for 15 months and it has never skipped a beat. Large interior with split centre to make it a dual zone fridge. You can take the separator out and make it in to a single fridge or freezer depending on your needs at the time. Or simply drop the separator back in to take advantage of both worlds at the same time. I purchased a third party thermometre from a kitchen supplies shop to check the real temperature of the fridge and it was exactly what I set the fridge at. Great reliable and quiet camping or home use fridge.

Family of four, first time using the fridge - 3 compartments - 2 in cage and one shallower fit everday access like butter. I took the basket at the local IGA because I was worried about space - for one basket of fresh food it's great. It cooled down quickly to the 4 degrees we set it at. Ours has the jacket on. Shop around for deals - it's an expensive piece of kit but will make life easier than ice runs and soggy cheese. We have it on a stand hooked up to a powered site. Anaconda will price match on individual items and beat by 10% - well worth looking into.

A fault from when we first bought this fridge/freezer. It continually fails to turn off, I think this is about the 6th time it is back to the repairers for the same fault. It is no fun when it drains the batteries in our caravan while we are in free camping spots. There has been a few other faults too. Sorriest thing I ever bought was this Waeco CFX50 fridge/freezer. Will never buy another or recommend this brand to anyone else, too unreliable..

This fridge was purchased to supplement my old CF 50 which I have had for 17yrs. I just replaced the touch display panel, only because it kept scrolling through the settings. I love my new fridge that draws very little power, In fact I had both fridges running in the rear of my Patrol. The old CF 50 as a fridge and the new CFX 50 as a freezer running at minus 15 degrees. The new fridge is awesome, uses very little power and comes with a remote digital display of the temp and battery level.

Fragile hinges, fragile clips, fragile electronics, poor door seal. Plug recepticles prone to dirt/sand/moisture. Has been used a few times a year since purchase from new. Trouble EVERY time, you don't need hassles in the far north of WA and QLD. Lucky I am a tech and have been able to keep it going but that doesn't account for parts that have broken with normal use. I consider the back of the ute and regular camoing to be normal use.

We have had our fridge for 4 days now and wish I had never seen it, it really is inconsistent, you can regulate the fridge section at all, some things are too warm others too cold, frozen milk, meat that is not cold enough one day and too cold the next, I'm getting rid of mine .
It's not safe if you can't control the temp setting of the fridge

I would like to hear if anybody else have a rattle around the compressor while traveling, this is our second fridge they replaced the first for the same reason. We live in our caravan and the fridge travels in our 100 series Toyota and gets really bad on dirt roads. Our fridge freezer is a Waeco CFX65 DZ. other than the rattle its a great fridge..

I just bought one of these. Its a cracking bit of kit. After first power on it reached its rec -15 c in about 20 minutes. The unit comes with inserted baskets. If you use the baskets then the top and bottom diver holes don't get blocked and cool air is allowed to circulate. It is designed that way. If for example you remove the baskets and cram it full with stuff then the circulation holes wont be able to work as designed. I put some 2 liter bottles and some cans of beer and a few frozen stuff in the freezer. Overnight the stuff was cold in the fridge compartment. It works as per design and purpose. I will be field testing it this weekend. Will let you know how it performs.
