Weaco CR50 fridge vs CRX50

Errmm... I just had to re-read it to make sure.

All 4 LEDs on = 3deg
3 on = 6deg
2 on = 9deg
1on = 12deg

 

Give it a go

 

So for that money it doesn't have a temperature read out?

 

Nope

 

A) The bottom LED is the fast freeze light.
B) I know!

 

I'm trying to think of anything that would be stored above 6 degrees?!?

 

That's disappointing from Dometic. The CFX range do & it surely wouldn't be too much trouble for such a large organisation to give us a bit better functionality on what will probably be their best seller in this class.

 

For the cost of these things you would expect a gauge.

 

Perhaps it is not that accurate then.

 

I tend to chuck in the food and a couple of ice packs the night before, setting the fridge to coldest whilst still on mains at home.

Once on site, I back the fridge off to save power.

 

It's made me want to check it now. At 9 degrees storing meat would be dangerous.

 

This!

 

If youve got gas on board and its already fitted with a vent then i wouldnt even consider the waeco one. They are for people with new or uncut vans that dont want to cut holes in them. I gt excited about getting one of these then worked out i could have ice cold beer delivered to site by naked australian beach babes for that sort of money!

 

I got so sick of not knowing whether I was turning the fridge up or down and not being able to tell if the temp knob had been inadvertently moved when food goes in or out of the fridge.
To check the knob position on the waeco fridge you need to shove your whole head inside the fridge, then using a torch (because your heads blocking out the light) try and focus on white lettering on a white knob.
In my case I then need to get out of the fridge and go and find my reading glasses because I can't focus on letters that are 2" from my eyes.
I got an old fridge thermometer with a seperate temp readout and fixed that above our fridge near the sink.
