Those three last words are the answer.      To have a proper fridge that uses low battery use is an absolute must on a boat.  Nothing worse than listening to something burring away all night and you are thinking I wonder if the batteries will last.    Sometimes on hot days our fridge used to go constantly.

The Engel it has replaced was quite efficient anyway but was noisy. But as you say it did struggle to keep cool on really hot days. 

The Waeco seems to have a lot more insulation so will hopefully be a bit better on that score.

We were caught out by how much colder it gets as it froze the beer!

It is on a much lower setting then the old fridge but still getting ice cold. Lord knows what the higher settings are for. We have it on setting two of five and the beers are ice cold.

Thats brilliant if you can have it set on 1 or 2,    frozen beer,  oh dear, you could start a new trend in ice lollies.    Bet the freezer section is fantastic.     As someone who used to always bring fresh meat vacuum sealed to the boat to use for several days a really good freezer would have been a real bonus.

Yes. We will certainly find the freezer useful when we are out on holiday. We also like to stock up with vacuum packed meat when we find a decent butchers.

It is a decent size as well. 

Can't believe how much beer we can fit in and still have loads of space for food. Luxury compared with the old fridge.

You are funny.     I notice the storage of the beer ranks way above your everyday tucker.

We always find ourselves wondering what could survive being left out of the fridge to leave space for beer as most of the time the 3 of us on board all drink something different, which is tricky on small hire boat fridges, turns are taken to restock every couple of hours lol :default_norty: we also have an electric cool box that is 12v which is handy :1311_thumbsup_tone2:

Loads of food storage in the fridge now.

With the old fridge it was always a struggle and sometimes it was a choice between beer or food!

It is the same at home. We only have a small fridge there and half of that is beer and tonic storage :default_biggrin:
