Adventure Kings Fridges/Freezers

I have 2 of these units 60ltr's. I run one as a fridge and one as a freezer on my sailboat, both have been running now for 6 months without issue. 5 year warranty on these units. They run an excellent compressor, keep spot on temperature and are acceptably rugged. I also have a cover for the freezer that does the job. The only complaint, and this… Read more ·  1

is common to cheaper units is the lid seal, its not the best out there, however the lid opens from both sides, thats handy. A lot of reviews here are not the newer units. Stayzcool are a step up from the normal kings units, hence the 5 year warranty. I find the more than satisfactory given the price, also, they seem to be modest in power consumption given.

We've have the fridge for almost 2 years without any issues, it's set to 2-4°C and performs consistently to keep drinks and food cold. Ours is the older version with the Secop compression, I understand from the reviews here and elsewhere that it doesn't perform well as a freezer due to small 1.4cc compressor having to work overtime but that's not a problem for our intended purpose. Show reply

Absolutely DIABOLICAL service from Kings 4wd supercentre! I emailed them on 14th April 2025 and sent a video of the error codes i kept getting the very first time I used my Console fridge. We are now on 24th June and they just keep going around and around in circles with me...the last email I received last week was can you send the video again as… Read more

they cannot find the email I sent it in. Think they are hoping that I will give up if they keep sending me in circles here ... Prior to this they had told me that my case had been escalated ! DO NOT EXPECT ANY AFTERCARE OR SERVICE FROM THESE GUYS ! Gone are the days when Customer service used to be honest and starlight forward!

Bad fridge – Kings is cheap sh1t. Nobody wants to repair them. Loved it while it was working because we had a 5 hour one way drive home to Bedourie and we could take ice cream home. Now max cold is 15 degrees. Who want watery ice cream. Show details

quailty isssues with cigarete plug on dc power – There appears to be an issue with the supplied dc (cigarette lighter) plug is constantly disconnects from plug and no cooling as a result the plug id very cheap quality also the fridge - when it starts cooling at indicated 12.3 to 10.5 volts decides its an indicated error 1 and shuts off quality is an apparent issue I had a Waco before this and it just worked... enough said Show details

What a great little fridge /freezer ! , – What a great little fridge/freezer, love the two fuse system, one in the power cable and one in the fridge itself . Protects the fridge from power supply issues and is easy to use. Great customer support . Show details ·  1

Kings dropped the ball – Just bought a kings staycoolz the black friday sale was on 1st thing that is really weird is the lids to oper you have to push down lift up to open basically a two hands operation.. then the cover instead of opening same way as the lids it opens longways freaking stupid as the dumb butt lids....so not two weeks in and the cover is ripped with… Read more

duct tape holding it together.then the freaking seals are so p*ssweak my freezer half set on neg 15 is all iced up thick while the fridge is wet Not dry like supposed to be I going to take it to a fridge specialist seal dude who said he would have a look but probably nothing can do as it's a design fault. I was in at j car today and they have one same kinda deal same 500 price with cover and wheels on the fridge the lid was normal to open and the cover was more clever....kings dropped the ball on this model Don't get it gets the jcar oneys cool fridge freezer combo

Cannot complain about my Kings 15L fridge – Update to my review after purchase. Just returned from 2 weeks at Mt Howitt Vic where this fridge was pre chilled and had cold cans added, used only as my drinks fridge. At first was turned off over night as was cold but then left running 24/7 with voltage down to 12.9 lowest over night before solar kicked in. Drinks were always ice cold, I set indicator to 02 degrees which it maintained day and night. Show reply

75Lt Stazycool died failed again – At around 6onths old, the fridge failed, the result of this was freezing half a case of coke, which due to freezing they all blew up and made a mess in the fridge. I returned the fridge back to the store and it was stated to me that may be the thermostat, as this is a common issue. the fridge was repaired and returned back to me. Now another 6… Read more

months later this time the fridge stopped cooling which resulted in the loss of a few frozen meals. I returned the fridge back to the store and this time I provided a letter, kindly requesting a full refund, as I have lost confidence in the fridge and can not afford to have it fail again. A fridge must work all the time, it was lucky I did not have a large quantity of food in the fridge.

I have now re-visited the store to follow up on the refund, I was talking with a Person with the name of [Name Removed], (who claimed was the manager when I ask to talk with the manager) whom refused to provide a surname and refused to provide a contact phone number.

I tried to reason with [Name Removed] to provide a refund, but was blankly refused, [Name Removed] was a very cold heated person to deal with, even when I said what would have happened if I had a few hundred dollars work of food in the fridge, all I got was a Sholder shrug.

To add to this there was two others of the same fridge model, just been dropped ( before me in the line) of by other customers which had also failed.

I was very disappointing that I received a cold shoulder and there was not attempt by [Name Removed] to find a solution for me. There was even no offer for a replacement, (which I would not accept after seeing in the returns of fridges today in front of me today)

As a result of the cold Sholder, and the do not care altitude, I have not collected the fridge & raised a compliant with fair trading, who wants a fridge that is not of an acceptable quality, the reason we buy frisges is to keep food fresh.

FYI,,they did seem very quick in fixing the second issue with in 30min by the message on my phone , then a to collect message, you can see by this that they would not have even tested the fridge for a day to check it was 100% operating correct ,where is the QA ?

Very disapointed Kings...

CHINESE JUNK – Absolute crap. You get what you pay for. Wont get below 7 degrees in 19 degrees ambient running flat out pulling 4.1 Amps constantly. 4th camping trip and it lets me down. CHINESE JUNK. Won’t be buying any “Kings” product again! Let’s all buy Aussie made and support our beautiful country and its people and avoid the headaches.

JUNK...fuse blows DONT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED DOSH – N.B****YOU CANNOT CHANGE THE FUSE YOURSELF!!! Purchased 6mths ago, went to use it Saturday 5th October stocked it up with cold drinks , cheese, salami, munchies ect (done same thing before) for a 3 hr drive to the beach. Half way into the journey we could smell something like it was burning and pulled over only to find out the fridge cacked… Read more

itself!!! We only used it two weeks before that for a 25hr trip and had no issues.

Well that was bad enough, that, that sucked, but we went into the Super centre in Toowoomba today, 7th October, only to get attitude from the "claims" person in charge of returns.

It took 3 people, 10mins to pull the whole thing apart to change the fuse. Seems like they're used to it eh!!! She also said its most likely just the fuse, it's a common fuse problem...we said we don't want the product then, especially if it's a known fault and one, that if we work on it, it would most likely void the warranty.

We would constantly be in the middle of no where when it would blow again, losing all our food only to have to go back to a super centre miles away to wait for them to go through the while thing again!!!

Is it just us or is it just a rediculas rigmarole to go through, especially since they know it's a FAULT with the product!!!

1.Fuses should be easily accessible to start with. 2.How bout rectify the known problem? 3. Give us our money back, it's still in warranty, we aren't happy with it!!

We left it with them, because she refused to refund it, we didn't want the useless product..what will we do with a product that can't be trusted????

We were also told it was just our opinion their products weren't up to scratch BUT it's fact when you have to keep taking them back or throwing them out!!!

We've also had two of the bigger, more expensive Kings Fridges fail, just out of warranty, that also had to be dumped. So where's the quality control that used to be there???

It's not the only expensive electrical equipment that's failed, we've had to either be replaced and or dumped. AND that's happend while we're camping last year and had to drive 5hrs, round trip.... twice in the one holiday!!!! Don't even get me started on the gazebos...

Yup we are filthy fed up with Kings products!

We have had to change brand to get quality products now and WILL NEVER BE GOING BACK, especially now we are given grief when we have to take their useless stuff back to them. P.s I will be leaving the same review on their store review too.

Sorry Kings, too many bad products coming through and we've lost hundreds of dollars if not over $1000...we've stopped counting.

***Beware***

Terrible for 30°+C climates – Bought a 90 L fridge freezer about 3 years ago. First time out was about a 2 week trip and the E1 code kept coming up. Didn't think much of it at the time as it would come good. This is our second time out, we installed new batteries in the car and the first couple of nights we didn't have any problems. As soon as we got into the warmer temps… Read more

(32-35°C) it started throwing up the E1 code again and shutting down during the day. Freezer would reach +20° so all of the frozen meat was ruined. Freezer would refreeze overnight. We think that we have worked out that the compressor would not handle the heat during the day These units are not suitable for Australian climates that reach 30°+C

DONT RISK IT – Unit died 3 weeks after purchasing and warranty process a nightmare. Purchased as a second fridge/freezer for ute when travelling around Australia. Unit died 3 weeks in and customer care team make it extremely hard to get the issue resolved. They expect to have you return it to a store (zero in NT) (stockist aren't allowed either) or provide… Read more

your home address so they can pick up.

They are so hard to work with and you'll be expected to solve the problem as they can't.

High current draw, loud compressor – This fridge/freezer draws almost double the power in comparison to other brands, so their claim that the upgraded insulation makes it stay cool longer is nonsense, the compressor runs a lot more frequently and is a lot louder than competing brands. Brass Monkey fridges are quieter and more energy efficient, Kickass too. Look into those if you’re… Read more

after something cheaper, but if price isn’t a concern, get an Engel. They boast about the strong exterior of this product, yet the interior is weaker than the integrity of their brand, and I can see why other reviews have noted the cracks and holes developing overtime. On top of all that, the awkward door handle mechanism and the typical rookie electrician mistake of installing USB ports upside down is once again a laughingstock of the industry.

very happy so far so good – I purchased this fridge just for drinks in car based camping as i have excellent 3 way fridges for more wilderness expeditions. Inside house first test on 240V empty fridge showed the start temp accurate 19 on fridge to 20c on house gauge. 12 minutes to get down from 19 to 3c on LED, inside on my freezer gauge was 7c. "not bad" Total half hour… Read more ·  3

cycling to reach 3c inside which I am happy with. Decided to set to max -18c and see. Total time from 3c approx hour of cycling to reach constant -18c before running time versus static time became less. This unit should do me well for drinks and in emergency step up. With small fridges empty is a hard test also putting in warm items and not pre cooling the fridge before use makes their job harder, few tips. Will update after I use it on a trip.

Not good – Bought to use as a freezer, however it does not freeze food so no good to me. Requested refund from 4WD supacentre as Victorian Consumer law states a refund must be made where product does not do what it is advertised to do. They refused to refund. Have submitted complaint to Consumer affairs Vic.
