Cooling Down

We have finally made a decision on which fridge to get for the boat. We have finally opted for the Waeco CRX50. Not the cheapest option by any means. But then again none of the 12v compressor fridges are a cheap option!

The Waeco won the day mainly due to it's very frugal power demands. The technical data claims that this fridge uses half the power of our previous Engel model which was really for it's time very low power consumption anyway.

Another benefit hopefully will be the compressor which claims to be whisper quiet. Now quite who's whisper we do not know but it will be a bonus if it is quieter then the Engel as the fridge is located really very close to the bedroom so the compressor noise can be heard quite clearly in the bedroom area. Not that we found this to be a problem as we quickly learned to ignore it and it never really bothered us.

We really must say a big thumbs up to MGD Online where we have purchased the fridge. Not only were they significantly cheaper then most other places online but having placed the order at 1.45pm yesterday I recieved an email by 2.30pm to say that the order had been processed and the fridge and fitting kit would be with us today. Excellent service.

Now we just need to fit it this weekend!
