Evakool 40l fridge/freezer draw feedback
Submitted by Alpha on Sat, 2023-01-07 11:23
Hi Gentlemen
I'm looking for some feed back on the evakool 40l fridge freezer draw?
I'm setting up a canopy for my ute and am looking at putting 1 of these in the back to replace my engel fridge.
I want to use it as a freezer more than a fridge and I can find quite a few reviews on them as a fridge but not as a freezer.
Does anyone have one and use it as a freezer and can give some honest feedback on them.
Thanks in advance.

My 39 liter Engel is 22 yrs old,been everywhere in the Ute and weather including 3 trips through the Kimberly and lived up there for a year with it.It's probably done 5000 km just on the gibb when I was fixing dozers along there.Personally I wouldn't buy anything else

fridge draw
Looked at the same but I saw Wild touring on YouTube and fb had a couple of these in his canopy and got rid of them. Sounded like they worked ok as a fridge but no good as a freezer.

Heres the quote from his fb
Heres the quote from his fb page that put me off getting one
"I had two evakool drawer fridges. One was suppose to be primarily a freezer but it couldn’t hold anywhere near freezing temps so I sold that one fairly early on. The other one I used for a few years as a fridge and it went okay- definitely struggled up north in higher ambient temps though.

If you can afford it get a
If you can afford it get a national luna, thick insulation so less run time. I use a 40 as a freezer and an 80 as a fridge wouldn't run anything else.
