cheap fridges at the moment

[finga]

We got an Aussie Disposals' cattledog in mail yesterday.
38L Engel Eclipse (12/24/240v) fridges for $799 including carry bag.
They also have 55L Companion fridge/freezer with the Danfoss compressor for $899 with bag and a few other goodies.

Are they cheap or is that the going rate now??
I don't really know because we've never really chased a 12v fridge.

I wish we needed a fridge...but we just simply don't.

Oh...sad news though. QLD people would have to go to Toowoomba or Tweed Head to get to a shop.

The engel is a good price !!! , we payed $900 for ours with a cover , thermometer and engel containers a bit over 18 months ago . That was mates rates .

Just had a quick look at the Engel website.

RRP is about $1,000 for the Eclipse model.

Keep in mind though they are the ones with thermoplastic body/lid, not the regular old style steel body and lid. RRP for that model is still about $1,300.

Cheers,
Roo.

Often see the engel for $899 but $799 seems good with the extras. Maybe that's the going rate now.
Has anyone actually got the eclipse? It looks sturdy enough but a first-hand report would be good.

We have one , bought it about april 08 and the only time it has been switched off since , is to defrost it . Its being used as a freezer in and out of the van and ute and hasn't missed a beat . This model doesn't have any friut like a thermometer just a turn switch and a green light to indicate when its on. The plastic case seams very tough , I would be very surprised if you could damage it .
