Which fridge?
Slightly less popular topic than which tyres or which stove but here goes.
I have notice that National lunar and Waeco and for all I know other manifactureres use the same compressors, a BD35F.
Waeco sell these compressors as seperate units and all the electircs needed to build your own cool box. This includes low voltage cut of switch and 'power management system' and more. http://www.waeco.com/pages/home/index.htm
It looks to me as if National Lunar use the same componants as found on the Waeco site.
Engel fridges get recommended but their energy consumption with the motor running is around the same as the others.
Waeco in the UK, litre for litre, seems to be half the price of the others. Apart from the need to hide the name badge is there any other reason that a Waeco is not as good?
Is it a question of Waeco being less strong or less well insulated? There is an optional thermal jacket for the Waeco just as there is for the National Lunar and the Engel.
