    is amazing to me they can power this off what looks like a laptop charger

    • magic8ballgag on 26/03/2021 - 08:50

      I know right?

      Must be efficient, but I still hope people don't expect to keep this thing powered off a single car battery.

      • peterpaoliello on 26/03/2021 - 09:53

        Not uncommon these to use under 5a on 12v, and with 20% duty cycle it's quite possible.

        Edit: 8.7a for this apparently

    • tunzafun001 on 26/03/2021 - 11:04

      Double door fridge at home draws only around 100w.

      • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2021 - 12:46
        +5

        If you're implying your house fridge uses much less power than this, that's incorrect. If this fridge (as stated above) draws 8.7A, then it's nearly the perfect comparison, because 8.7A on 12V DC happens to = 104.4W. So the two draw very similar power.

        • elcheapoinoz on 27/03/2021 - 09:44

          I happened to be doing some reading yesterday on pump vs absorption fridges (not sure what this one is) but the consensus seemed to be that pump is more efficient than absorption (i thought it'd be the other way around!) obviously the difference might be minimal or could be one way or the other depending on model of either.

          but it seems although they use similar power, double door might be double the capacity.
          but yeah, for the purpose of camping, not much you can do.

        • tunzafun001 on 27/03/2021 - 11:43

          Not implying anything other than fridges are a lot more efficient than most people think. Ie. a home fridge is around 100w, so see no reason for this to be the same or less.

    Reviews talk about the second zone having no temp adjustment and being difficult to dial in as a result.

    Dual zone, single compressor.

    • MickyJ87 on 26/03/2021 - 08:03

      By the looks of the manual it has set points for each zone.

    • seefu on 26/03/2021 - 14:02

      I have the 80L one, both zones have temp adjustment but they are dependent of each other. Like Zone 1 can be whatever you want, Zone 2 can be the same higher. So if Zone 1 is set to -5, Zone 2 can be anything higher than -5.

  • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2021 - 07:53

    Hope people that order one of these have researched how to power it. If you intend to just plug it into the 12v cigarette socket in your car then prepare to be disappointed.

    You will either need a battery box or a dual battery setup to use this away from home.

    • djsiyathu on 26/03/2021 - 08:02

      Do you think this would fit in a 150 series prodo. 125l must be massive. Need some expert opinion.

      • MickyJ87 on 26/03/2021 - 08:06

        If you have the back seats up then this will probably take up the whole rear section

        Got it for my LC200. Cars so big just assumed this will fit. Now to measure

      • gumbs on 26/03/2021 - 13:10
        +3

        I have a 60L engel dual zone and it takes up literally half the rear space in my Challenger and is slightly bigger than my 70L esky. This would most likely take up the entire rear space in Prado.

        This is way to big for normal users. My 60L does 2 adults and 2 kids comfortably for 4-5 days provided we use the freezer section for ice (minimise the number of drinks in the fridge). Unless you plan on pulling it out of the car and setting it up in your campsite you're going to hate dealing with this thing in the back of a car.

        Personally I think fridges are over-rated. The complexity around dual batteries, solar and the lack of reliability isn't worth it. Unless you're touring buy a good esky fill the bottom with ice bricks and get a platform made up to keep your stuff out of the water.

    • MickyJ87 on 26/03/2021 - 08:05
      +1

      105 watts total so this thing will draw 8.75A optimal if both zones are running. That will completely discharge a 100AH battery in a day.

      • Archaleas on 26/03/2021 - 08:10

        Would like to know how this compares to Waco / Engel of the same size. Imagine the same?

        • MickyJ87 on 26/03/2021 - 08:19
          +2

          Probably. Engels compressor design draws way less current than all the others as they use a swing compressor. The biggest Engel is 80l and it will draw less than half of the oztrail one. Waco/dometic are thirsty. My 45l draws between 4-6A depending on ambient temperature

          • gtech on 26/03/2021 - 11:06
            +1

            @MickyJ87: Sorry mate but that's actually a myth. Engle fridges are far more reliable due to their Sawafuji Swing Motor, but when ambient temps go up the they draw more power then the standard compressor fridges of similar size and quality. (I remember confirming this from multiple sources but could only find this article off hand)
            Please note the Oztrail is not the same quality so i don't expect that this fridge will perform anywhere near what an Engle does, but if you compare like with like, then a standard quality compressor will prevail, in terms of power draw)

            • Archaleas on 26/03/2021 - 11:35

              @gtech: This review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3DuicXopRc shows the 80l version pulling 37amps in 24 hrs. He gives is a real world test also.

              Would an extra 45l capacity make a huge difference to his result?

              • gtech on 26/03/2021 - 16:56

                @Archaleas: Not only does capacity make a huge difference but, as mentioned quality. (oztrail is a bottom to mid range kit)

                If you are comparing an Engle then your would need to compare it against something like the bushman

        • [Deactivated] on 26/03/2021 - 08:57
          +2

          Of the same size is the important bit. 125 litres is a massive car fridge and will require considerably more energy to run than a more common sized 40/60 litre version. Attempting to run as a freezer will use even more energy.

          Without a dedicated battery for it you risk being unable to start your car even after running this for a short period.

          I used to run something this size in my landcruiser but even with a dual battery setup I could not run it for more than 48 hours. I swapped to a 40 litre.

          • Jackson on 26/03/2021 - 10:35

            @[Deactivated]: this is why these are going cheap, there's really not a huge market for camping fridges this size. It's bigger than many bar fridges. I expect people who camp at powered sites and go with a big group for a long time could be one, but then maybe a bar fridge for 100 bucks is a better option for those people if they can fit it in?

          • Archaleas on 26/03/2021 - 11:31

            @[Deactivated]: I recently purchased a second hand EvaKool Travelmate-60 (51 Litres) and sold it days later after realizing its just to small.

            However don't want to feel like we couldn't pack food or take items because we were limited on space

            This is going in my LC200 and will be looking to get a dual battery shortly, just need to try and work out which is the best to get

              @Archaleas: amps is a measure of current draw at a particular time, I think you mean mean amp hours? which would be extremely low (assume that was with the fridge on only on a coolish day as its only like 1.54 amps on average (19 odd watts)

              something fishy with those results.

              • Archaleas on 26/03/2021 - 12:14

                @wisc: I'm not the best on this topic, so you are likely right. However he seemed to be conducting quite a thorough test. You are correct, one of the comments on the video is "1.5A/H average draw impressive for a massive 80L fridge and you cooking it in 46c heat"

        • oaks101 on 26/03/2021 - 09:20
          +3

          8.7 Amps is huge. a lot of Engels and dometics would only draw 2-5Amps

        • wisc on 26/03/2021 - 10:55

          my 75 litre Dometic Waeco was apparently about a quarter to a third of that. - about 2-3 amps @12v, (so about 24-36 watts average.) depending on set temperatures etc.

          so this is fairly high, 75 litres fit a massive amount of food in it too, so much so that we just ended up filling half of it with cold water, (we travelled around Australia 2 adults 1 kid for two months.)
          we ended up selling it with the vehicle, i was tempted to get this, but man thats a heck of a lot of power required.
          you dont realise but in a chest style fridge freezer, food compresses quite well. a sausage dinner takes about 1litre of space, steak, less. frozen vegies another couple/few of litres,
          its a massive amount food considering food for a few days probably takes the better half of 10-20 litres (depending on how much cold stuff you have with it.). if you cater for 3-4 litres per meal for a family, i wouldn't have though you would be too far off. (thats of stuff that packs well/flat) once you start getting stuff that's not really square, or odd shaped it can take more space.. (eg water mellon or the likes takes a bit) but dont forget, most food probably wont even need refrigeration.

          that said,id rather spend more and get a better unit - even if smaller.

          if you have this and want to go camping for a few days, make sure you have at least a couple hundred watts of panels, a decent battery etc.

          (or a powered camping site)

      • Martyroz on 26/03/2021 - 09:08

        The compressor isn't running 24/7. It all depends on ambient temp and set temp. Saying it will suck a 100AH dry in a day is not accurate.

    • Lead Wings on 26/03/2021 - 13:43

      We spent a year travelling around oz running off solar/battery, so spent a lot of time watching current/power.

      We have 2 x 35L waecos - running one as fridge (~3 C) and one as freezer (~-10C). Was OK for our family of 4, spent up to 2 weeks between shops at times.

      Each fridge drew ~5A when on, and around 1 AHr on average over 24 hours - so we were using around 48 AHr per day. Of course that is also a function of ambient temperature, how often you open the fridges, if you are putting warm stuff in that needs to be cooled down etc.

      Heat gain from the surrounds will be a function of size of fridge - so the bigger fridge, the more heat it will gain, the more energy to keep it cool. Again a function of the above and how well built the fridge is.

      Also making sure the fridge compressor/hear excahnger can breath is vital - put the fridge somewhere it can't get air flow, and it will just heat up the air locally and then makes it even harder for it to reject the heat - so it will work more.

      So you can't directly compare how much a 125L will used compared to an 80L, even by looking at the current draw.

      This thing is massive. OK if your a prepper wanting to go off grid, but to me way in excess of what most people will need/use.

        Danfoss (SECOP) or Sarafuji are the common industry standard DC fridge compressors. LG is not widespread. LG compressors only seem to be on the feature list of the cheapest Chinese made DC fridges. That was the source of my comment. I would take the claim of LG branding with a grain of salt.

    Consider the jaycar brass monkey as an alternative. The warranty jaycar offers is 3 years opposed to 2 years on the oztrail. Cheap 12v fridges can be a real hit and miss in terms of build quality and how long it will actually last. The warranty and after sales support are probably the number one consideration.

    This is an incredible price. Very tempted myself but its just far too big for most situations (I've never heard of someone running a fridge this size) which is maybe why it's so massively discounted? Really a fridge this size would suit someone with a caravan / camper trailer / off grid shack.

    • Martyroz on 26/03/2021 - 09:38

      I agree - the discount is because it's so big. These would not fit in 95% of camper trailers.

      Most camper trailers in recent years have built a fridge slide to fit the Waeco CFX-95 dual zone and this is considerably bigger than that.

      CFX-95: 530 * 472 * 962
      OZtrail 125L: 615 * 560 * 915

      It's also not listed on the OZtrail webiste, implying it's discontinued.

    We're building an off grid house at the moment. Still in the using-a-generator phase before we get solar in the next few months. Would this be a wise purchase for refrigeration, or would it require us to be running the generator for a few hours every day to charge it?

    • corbz on 26/03/2021 - 14:23

      No. Google converting a chest freezer into a fridge. So much more efficient

    • MorriJ on 26/03/2021 - 21:19

      I've got an off grid cabin up the back of the yard. 2nd hand solar did the trick for it, inverter, panels very cheap and a bunch of cheap agm batteries to keep it ticking along overnight.

      If weight is not an issue (rarely is outside of moving vehicles), using a freezer with a modified thermostat would do the trick. The extra insulation would mean the compressors barely running, charge up your batteries during the day, use other appliances etc.

      Setup was sub $500 for the solar panels + inverter etc.

      Technically possible but pointless. Just add a cheap battery to the setup.

      No. You're relying on a continuous output of over 9 amps (so at least 250 watt panels in perfect alignment). You'll wreck the compressor really quickly.

        I wonder if there's any camp fridges designed to run off solar panels, that can just slow down when the amps slow down

          A peltier "cooler" will be more suited for this application. Just get a cheap 54ah battery and use a compressor-based fridge. The efficiency losses will be significant with a peltier setup.

      This is exactly what I was hoping to do with a cheap 95L 12V fridge in my shed. It'll mainly be for drinks so I don't need it to be ice-cold in the morning but of course it should still be 'cool' from the day before… then with decent sun exposure during the day everything should be cool enough again when it's needed (lunchtime/afternoon/early evening). Direct panel connection will probably screw up the compressor so I'm thinking a small battery is the only way to do this… but then of course why bother with a small battery when a decent size battery isn't too much bigger or cost too much extra. Hmmm. Still just a silly but fun concept at this stage.

    Just had a look at Northlakes Qld at opening. Too big for me. But they only had one display model our with a few dings and they have two more out back that have cosmetic damage so could maybe negotiate an even better price. But if you want an unmarked one in box go elsewhere.

    Bit the bullet.

    Also use the code BIRTHDAY10 for an extra 10% off. Worked for me.

    • Martyroz on 26/03/2021 - 10:14

      You mean $10?

      • Port on 26/03/2021 - 10:17

        Must be $10 woops

    • nubzy on 26/03/2021 - 10:15

      Doesn't work for me

  • OhDaJoker on 26/03/2021 - 10:20

    Was ready to return and buy again if it was %10 until I saw only $10. But as an ozbargainer, still tempted.

      Sorry for the false alarm, can't maths

    Good Review for the 80L
