WAECO CFX-65 Fridge-freezer Four-year long-term test.
The Waeco CFX-65 fridge-freezer we have been using since early 2013 has now been rebranded a Dometic, in line with the Swedish company’s brand consolidation exercise. It was always built by them, so this is just a name-change for this fridge which needs no introduction as the unsung hero of all our local trips. Whether it’s working at max capacity in 40 degree heat or for months at a time, the old beast has its work cut out. And it hasn’t missed a beat.
As Grant Spolander put it in his 2013 review of this very same fridge: “There’s more to a fridge than just degrees, amps and insulation”. He’s right. A fridge must also be well laid out, easy to operate, have a large interior, a small exterior, and be tough as hell.
