Adventure Kings Stayzcool MKII Fridge/Freezer

I don't often write reviews unless a product or service is exceptionally good or bad. I bought this fridge to replace a 50 litre Waeco that had done 15 years faithful service. I was a little apprehensive, as some Kings products get mixed reviews but the 5 year warranty clinched the deal. Some people seem to make a sport of knockiing Kings… Read more ·  1

products. I collected the fridge from the Dandenong warehouse to save the $40 delivery fee. Service was very professional and they even carried the fridge out to my car. I have now had the Kings fridge over 12 months, including 1000s of Kms on corrugated roads and the Kings fridge has never missed a beat. The build quality is reasonable. It has some nice features like the 12v input on both sides and the lid opening from both sides. The compressor is very quiet and seems to be quite efficient. Some reviewers have claimed that it is heavy on power so I decided to put it to the test. I connected the fridge to a cig socket on my camper and ran it for 24 hours on the Eco setting. The camper has a 100Ah VoltX LiFePo4 battery fitted with a Victron battery monitor. The fridge temperature control was set on 2°C. The fridge internal temperature was measured using an Inkbird fridge wireless thermometer placed in the centre of the fridge. The fridge was loaded with 24 x 375ml cans to simulate real life and to provide a critical mass. During the experiment the ambient temperature was 21°C overnight and it reached 32°C during the day. Again, similar to real life when touring Australia in Summer. Here are the results: Over 24 hours the fridge consumed 29Ah of power, equivalent to 1.2Ah per hour. This means that it would run comfortably for over 3 days and nights on a 100Ah lithium battery. Add a solar panel and it would probably run indefinitely. During the 24 hour test the internal temp ranged from 1.1°C to 2.8°C with an average of 1.9°C. This indicates that the fridge is well insulated and the temperature control is extremely accurate. Am I happy with the fridge? Yes! Would I buy one again? Yes? Do I have any connection with Kings? No!

Bought this fridge just before christmas, works great but the box had a tear in it that I didnt notice when the guy at the 4wd super centre put it in my ute tray. When I got the fridge out of the box it had a dent and scratch in it. As Chrismas and living 40 minutes from the store... I didnt have time to take it back. Not happy and wont buy… Read more

another product from them as they would have known the box was damaged. I had tried to call the store and could only speak to some dodgy call centre that said you can try to take it back. End of the day it works... but is dented. Overall should never have sold a dented fridge
